Mr Mattress exports to Zimbabwe

South African Mattress Supplier to Zimbabwe: Bulk Orders, Door Delivery

Mr Mattress supplies South African made mattresses in bulk to Zimbabwe, delivered to your door by road freight in 14 to 30 days. This is a bulk-only export service for hotels, lodges, guest houses, retailers, mining and construction camps and institutions, not for a single household bed. Import duty applies on mattresses entering Zimbabwe, and your clearing agent or our freight partner confirms the current rate before you commit.

Duty and customs into Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) but sits outside the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), so mattresses entering Zimbabwe from South Africa attract import duty. We cannot publish a specific duty percentage here, since the rate depends on tariff classification and can change. Your appointed clearing agent, or our freight partner, will confirm the exact rate that applies to your order before you commit to it. You, the buyer, are responsible for paying that duty and for handling customs clearance in Zimbabwe.

Freight and lead time

Export orders to Zimbabwe move by road freight through our freight partners, with delivery to your door rather than to a border post or warehouse you have to collect from. Typical lead time is 14 to 30 days from confirmed order to delivery, covering manufacture, freight transit and your side's customs clearance.

Who buys from us in Zimbabwe

Bulk buyers in Zimbabwe are typically hotels and lodges refurbishing rooms, guest houses, retailers wanting to stock South African made mattresses instead of, or alongside, imported premium brands, and mining, construction and NGO operations housing workers. There is real search demand in Zimbabwe for South African brands specifically, including comparisons against Sealy, which is sold locally at a premium import price. South African mid-range brands, Mr Mattress included, offer a genuine, published-spec alternative without that import mark-up.

Products and pricing basis

The full Mr Mattress foam range is available for bulk export to Zimbabwe: 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.
