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. 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.
