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. The Mr Mattress 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 the Free State, Cape Town, East London, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. Every mattress delivered across Johannesburg, Pretoria and the rest of Gauteng 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.

More questions, answered
Do you deliver a single mattress to Johannesburg and Pretoria?
Yes. A single is delivered like any other size, free except extreme rural areas, in 3 to 7 working days.
What mattress suits Gauteng summers and winters?
Highveld summers are hot and winters dry and cold, so breathable cotton bedding and a 365 night trial that covers both seasons matter more than any single feature. The Hybrid Foam has a coil core for airflow, and the Revive suits those who prefer contouring.
How long does delivery take to Johannesburg and Pretoria?
Delivery takes 3 to 7 working days and is free nationwide, with a small fee only for extreme rural areas.
Can I see a mattress in person near Gauteng?
Our Kempton Park site is a warehouse, not a showroom, so there is no walk-in visit or collection there. Our walk-in stores are in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Upington, and every mattress carries a 365 night home trial.
