Who you are buying from

Mr Mattress is a South African mattress manufacturer selling through 9 stores nationwide and online. Our consumer range is manufactured in our own facilities; the specialty range, including the Mr Mattress Prison Mattress, is manufactured to Mr Mattress specification by certified partner facilities, with the density and construction published on the spec sheet rather than left to a sales conversation.

The procurement answers, up front

Minimum order quantity

None. Single units, 10-Packs are ordered on the product page with normal checkout. From 50 units, pricing moves to a formal quotation so volume, sizes and delivery are priced accurately.

Lead times

Smaller orders typically dispatch on standard delivery timelines. Bulk volumes are manufactured to order; as a working guide allow 2 to 4 weeks for 50 to 500 units, with the exact production and delivery schedule confirmed in writing on your official quotation.

Custom sizes

Available on orders of 50+ units, including non-standard lengths, widths and thicknesses. Specify dimensions on the quote form and they are priced into the quotation.

Compliance and fire certification

The MM FireLock Assembly option certifies the complete mattress, core and cover tested together as one assembly, with a publishable certificate supplied in your tender pack. Core foam is 50 kg/m3 SABS-approved high-density grade (MM DuraCore 50) on every specialty line.

Payment terms

Card and EFT at checkout for self-serve orders. Approved institutions buy on official purchase orders with formal quotations and invoices, deposit-based terms, and 30-day accounts on approval.

Delivery logistics

Bulk delivery is available to all nine provinces, including direct-to-site delivery, scheduled and confirmed on your quotation.

Tender documentation

Spec sheets with named components, certification, formal quotations and company documentation are supplied as a tender-ready pack on request.

Why the certification wording matters: a tender that requires "flame retardant foam" plus "flame retardant fabric" can be met by two certificates that have never been tested together. Specify certification of the complete mattress assembly, which is what MM FireLock Assembly certifies, and the loophole closes.
