Quick answer: the best single mattress in Cape Town is the Mr Mattress Comfort Foam, a firm single (91 x 188 cm) from R2,399, with a 365-night home trial.
Search "best single mattress Cape Town" and you'll be pointed to Peninsula Bed Sales (single-mattress specialists), Bed King and The Sleep Gallery (brand variety with Simmons, Cloud Nine, Rest Assured, Restonic). Reasonable starting points, but none of it names a specific mattress with a published density figure.
The best single mattress in Cape Town is the Mr Mattress Comfort Foam - a firm single (91 x 188 cm) from R2,399, with a 365-night home trial. For a mattress that lasts from primary school through the teenage years, the Active Foam's 10-year warranty is the better buy-once option - both manufactured through our own Cape Town facility.
| Mattress | Feel | Warranty | Single from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort Foam ? | Firm, budget | 3 years | R2,399 |
| Active Foam | Firm, all-round | 10 years | R3,399 |
| Revive Memory Foam | Medium, contouring | 10 years | R4,899 |
A named answer, not a list of brands to browse
The Sleep Gallery's brand variety is useful if you want to compare feels in person, but it's a list of other people's mattresses, not a specific recommendation with a density figure attached. The Mr Mattress Comfort Foam single is R2,399 with a published spec, and every mattress comes with a 365-night home trial.
Made in Cape Town, not just shipped there
Mr Mattress manufactures through our own facility in Cape Town, alongside Gauteng, the Free State, East London, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. Every mattress delivered across Cape Town and the rest of the Western Cape comes with free delivery.

What to check before you buy any mattress
- Published foam density. Active Foam is 50 kg/m3 and the Revive has a 65 kg/m3 core, printed on the product so you can compare like with like.
- Weight rating. The Revive is rated to 140 kg per sleeper, so check the rating for the heaviest person in the bed.
- Trial and warranty terms. Ours is a 365 night home trial, a 30 day money-back guarantee and a fixed written warranty that is never pro-rated.
- The base. A worn or sagging base can undo a new mattress, so a base set is worth considering.
- The pillow. A pillow that suits your sleeping position matters as much as the mattress for neck comfort.
Signs your current mattress is the problem
A visible dip where you sleep, waking stiff most mornings, noisy springs, or a mattress that is more than 8 to 10 years old are the usual signs. A mattress is a comfort product, not a medical treatment, so speak to a doctor about persistent pain.
