South African Mattress Supplier to Botswana: Bulk Orders, Duty Free, Door Delivery
Mr Mattress supplies South African made mattresses in bulk to Botswana, delivered to your door by road freight in 14 to 30 days. Botswana is a member of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) with South Africa, so mattresses move between the two countries duty-free. This is a bulk-only export service for hotels, lodges, guest houses, retailers, mining camps and institutions, not a single household bed.
Duty and customs into Botswana
Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini are all members of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), which allows goods including mattresses to move between member states without import duty. You still need to clear customs on arrival, which you or your appointed clearing agent handle, using the commercial invoices and export documentation we prepare for your order. No duty is payable, but clearance is still your responsibility, not ours.
Freight and lead time
Export orders to Botswana move by road freight through our freight partners, with delivery to your door rather than to a border post you have to collect from. Typical lead time is 14 to 30 days from confirmed order to delivery.
Who buys from us in Botswana
Bulk buyers in Botswana are typically lodges and hotels in Gaborone, Francistown, Maun and the tourism corridors around the Okavango and Chobe, guest houses, student accommodation operators, retailers wanting to stock South African made mattresses, and mining, construction and government-linked institutions housing workers. Real search demand exists in Botswana for wholesale South African mattress supply, and SACU duty-free movement makes South African stock genuinely competitive against locally imported alternatives.
Products and pricing basis
The full Mr Mattress foam range is available for bulk export to Botswana: Revive Memory Foam, Ultra 200, Active Foam, Comfort Foam and Hybrid. Hospitality, student, healthcare and institutional buyers can also order from our institutional ranges. Every mattress carries published foam density and a fixed 10-year manufacturer's warranty
that is never pro-rata. Payment terms are a 50% deposit to confirm and manufacture your order, with the balance due before the shipment leaves South Africa.
