Mr Mattress exports

Bulk Mattress Supply from South Africa to Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Lesotho and Eswatini

Mr Mattress exports mattresses in bulk from South Africa to Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini (Swaziland), Zimbabwe and Mauritius. This is a bulk-only service for hotels, lodges, guest houses, student accommodation, retailers, institutions, NGOs and mining or construction camps. We have exported thousands of mattresses to neighbouring countries. There is no minimum order for a single mattress across a border, every export order is a bulk order.

Who this is for

This service is built for businesses and institutions buying multiple mattresses at once, not for a single household bed. Typical buyers are hotels and lodges refurbishing rooms, guest houses opening or expanding, student accommodation operators, retailers who want to stock South African made mattresses, NGOs and government-linked institutions, and mining or construction camps housing workers. If you need one mattress delivered to a home address outside South Africa, this is not that service, we do not ship single units across a border.

How the export process works

We move export orders through freight partners by road to Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini and Zimbabwe, and by sea or air to Mauritius. Delivery is to your door, not to a port or a warehouse you have to arrange collection from yourself. Typical lead time is 14 to 30 days from confirmed order to delivery, depending on the destination, freight availability and how quickly customs clears on your side. Payment is a 50% deposit to confirm and manufacture your order, with the balance due before the shipment leaves South Africa.

The buyer is responsible for import duties and customs clearance in their own country. We prepare accurate commercial invoices and documentation to support your clearance, but the duty payment and the clearance process itself sit with you or your appointed clearing agent in-country.

Country by country

Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini are members of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) with South Africa, so mattresses move between these countries without import duty. Zimbabwe and Mauritius sit outside SACU, so import duties apply there. We cannot publish a specific duty percentage for Zimbabwe or Mauritius since rates depend on tariff classification and change, your customs agent or our freight partner will confirm the current rate for your order before you commit.

What we supply in bulk

The full Mr Mattress foam range is available for export: Revive Memory Foam, Ultra 200, Active Foam, Comfort Foam and Hybrid. For hospitality, student, healthcare, defence and correctional buyers we also supply our institutional ranges, built for the same use cases locally and available on the same export terms.

South African made mattresses carry published foam density and a fixed 10-year manufacturer's warranty that is never pro-rata, so cover does not shrink over time the way it does with some imported brands. Mid-range South African brands including Mr Mattress are a genuine, cost-effective alternative to premium imported names like Sealy sold locally in these markets, without the import mark-up those brands carry into neighbouring countries.
