Verdict
Verdict: Mr Mattress wins on trial certainty; OK Furniture wins on entry price and store access. OK Furniture's R1,199 entry point undercuts our lowest price. But their own terms only mention an optional, paid extended warranty on top of the manufacturer's cover - nothing about a comfort trial.

Frequently asked questions
Does OK Furniture offer a home trial?
No comfort trial is published for mattresses - only an optional, paid extended warranty covering repair costs after the manufacturer's warranty expires. Mr Mattress gives every model 365 nights with no minimum hold, included as standard.
Is Mr Mattress cheaper than OK Furniture?
Not at the very entry level - OK Furniture starts at R1,199, below our lowest price. But that entry mattress doesn't come with a published home trial the way every Mr Mattress model does.
Does Mr Mattress make a memory foam mattress?
Yes - the Revive, built for pressure relief and side sleepers, from R4,899, with the construction published.
What about back pain or firm support?
The Active Foam is our high-density option for firm spinal support, with the density published rather than relying on marketing terms.
