Mthatha and the Wild Coast, one delivery promise

OR Tambo is the heart of the old Transkei: Mthatha is its commercial centre, home to Walter Sisulu University and the Nelson Mandela Museum, while the district runs east to the Wild Coast at Port St Johns and Coffee Bay and north to Lusikisiki and Flagstaff. It is one of the most rewarding parts of South Africa to live in, and one of the hardest to shop for a decent bed in: outside Mthatha itself, choice mostly means whatever the nearest general dealer keeps in stock.

Ordering from Mr Mattress removes that trade-off. You choose from the full range online at the same price everyone in South Africa pays, and the courier brings the mattress to your door anywhere in the district free of charge. Start with the dedicated Mthatha foam mattress page for the full range breakdown and live prices: the Comfort Foam starts at R2,399 for a single, the Active Foam at R3,399, the Revive memory foam at R4,899 and the Hybrid, with its pocket spring core, at R4,999 for a double. The same prices apply whether you are in Mthatha town or a village beyond Lusikisiki.

How buying from OR Tambo works

Honesty first: Mr Mattress has no store in the OR Tambo district. We have stores across South Africa, with more opening, and East London is our nearest manufacturing presence, through our own and approved partner facilities there. Your mattress is made in South Africa, with our head office and main factory in Bloemfontein, and it travels the N2 to your door by courier at no charge. Because there is no local showroom to fund, the online price is the whole price, and the 365 night comfort trial replaces the quick showroom lie-down with a full year on the bed at home.

Delivery across the OR Tambo district

Delivery is free. Free State customers: usually 1 to 3 working days. National orders: 3 to 7 working days depending on your area. OR Tambo falls in the national tier. Mthatha itself sits on the N2 and usually lands in the middle of that window, while Wild Coast and deep rural addresses are realistic to plan around the 7 working day end, especially in wet weather when gravel access roads slow the last stretch. The courier phones ahead to arrange a delivery day.

Towns and areas we deliver to

Free courier delivery covers addresses across all five of OR Tambo's local municipalities:

  • King Sabata Dalindyebo: Mthatha, Mqanduli and the surrounding villages
  • Port St Johns: Port St Johns town and the lower Mzimvubu valley
  • Nyandeni: Libode and Ngqeleni
  • Mhlontlo: Qumbu and Tsolo
  • Ingquza Hill: Lusikisiki and Flagstaff

Coffee Bay, Hole in the Wall and other coastal spots are covered too. Addresses deep in the rural parts of the district can sit at the longer end of the delivery window, but they are covered. The courier phones ahead, so you are never guessing about the day.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mr Mattress deliver everywhere in the OR Tambo district?

Yes. Courier delivery is free across the whole district, including Mthatha, Port St Johns, Lusikisiki, Libode, Ngqeleni, Qumbu, Tsolo, Flagstaff and Mqanduli. National orders take 3 to 7 working days depending on your area, and the courier contacts you beforehand to arrange a delivery day that suits you.

How long does delivery to the Wild Coast really take?

The honest answer: the national window is 3 to 7 working days. Mthatha, on the N2, usually lands mid-window. Coastal and rural addresses reached by gravel roads, like Coffee Bay or villages beyond Lusikisiki, should plan around the 7 working day end, and heavy rain can stretch the last leg. If nothing has arrived after 7 working days, call 087 087 1610 and we will chase it.

Is there a Mr Mattress store in the district?

No. We have stores across South Africa, with more opening, but none in the OR Tambo district at the moment. Instead of a quick showroom lie-down, every order includes a 365 night comfort trial: you sleep on the mattress at home through Wild Coast summers and Mthatha winters, and we collect it if it is not right.

Which mattress handles the humid coast best?

Coastal air from Port St Johns to Coffee Bay is humid for much of the year. No mattress changes the weather, so be wary of big cooling promises. Air moves through the Hybrid's pocket spring core more freely than through dense foam, which is why warm sleepers often prefer it, and pairing any mattress with a base that lets air circulate underneath helps in damp conditions.

What does a foam mattress cost in OR Tambo?

The Comfort Foam starts at R2,399 for a single, the Active Foam at R3,399, the Revive memory foam at R4,899 and the Hybrid at R4,999 for a double. Prices are identical everywhere in South Africa, and courier delivery across OR Tambo is free, so there is no rural surcharge hidden at checkout. See the Mthatha page for the full price table.

What warranty and trial do I get in OR Tambo?

Exactly what every customer in South Africa gets: a 365 night comfort trial on every order, plus a written warranty against defects on each range, 3 years on the Comfort Foam and 10 years on the Active, Revive and Hybrid. Distance from our stores changes nothing about either promise.
