Best Single Mattress in Gauteng (2026)
Search "best single mattress Gauteng" and you'll be pointed to The Bed Guy (from under R3,000, fast Gauteng delivery), Dial-a-Bed (100-night trial) and The Mattress Warehouse or Makro for broader shopping. Reasonable starting points, but none of it names a specific mattress with a published density figure.
The best single mattress in Gauteng is the Mr Mattress Comfort Foam - a firm single (91 x 188 cm) from R2,399, with a 365-night home trial, more than 3× Dial-a-Bed's 100-night 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 Gauteng 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 published spec, not just "low prices"
The Bed Guy's fast Gauteng delivery and sub-R3,000 pricing is worth knowing about, but "low prices" isn't a spec you can compare. Our Comfort Foam single is R2,399 with a published density, and the Active Foam step-up carries a 10-year warranty - real numbers, not a marketing phrase.
Made in Gauteng, not just shipped there
Mr Mattress manufactures through our own facility in Gauteng, alongside Cape Town, East London and our Bloemfontein head office. Every mattress delivered across Johannesburg, Pretoria and the rest of Gauteng comes with free delivery.
