Who genuinely benefits from a softer feel
Side sleepers, people under about 60 kg, and anyone who wakes with pressure marks or a dead arm are the classic candidates for a softer mattress. On your side, weight funnels through the shoulder and hip, the two widest points of the body, so a surface with enough give lets them settle in while the waist stays supported. Stomach sleepers and heavier bodies over about 100 kg usually do better one band firmer, on the firmness guide.
Soft mattresses in Gauteng
There is no Mr Mattress store in Gauteng yet, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. We manufacture through our own and approved partner facilities in Gauteng, the Free State, Cape Town, East London, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. Every order ships free to Johannesburg and Pretoria and the rest of Gauteng, usually within 3 to 7 working days, and the 365 night home trial, with no minimum hold period, means your own bedroom becomes the test.
The honest Mr Mattress answer
We do not build a soft-through mattress, on purpose. The softest feel in the range is the Revive Memory Foam, from R4,899, a true medium with a contouring memory foam top over a 65 kg/m3 high-density core, deliberately stopping short of soft-through construction so the spine stays supported. The Comfort Foam, from R2,399, pairs a cushioned surface feel with a firm supportive core for a similar effect at a lower price.
What soft and plush mattresses cost in Gauteng right now
When we checked pricing at major South African retailers in July 2026, soft and plush-marketed mattresses from brands like Cloud Nine ranged from around R3,800 at the entry level to R15,000 and beyond for premium plush models. The Mr Mattress Revive Memory Foam costs from R4,899, near the entry end of that range, without dropping to soft-through construction that sags early.
How the Mr Mattress trial compares
Cloud Nine offers a 100 night comfort trial. Mr Mattress gives 365 nights with no minimum hold period, so if a softer feel does not suit you, you find out for certain, on your own timeline, not someone else's return window.

A soft feel through Gauteng's seasons
Gauteng's Highveld winters are cold and dry, with regular overnight frost, and a soft foam mattress firms up noticeably on those cold nights, softening again once the hot Highveld afternoons of summer return. Most Gauteng buyers get the plush, soft feel they chose for most of the year, with winter being the season the mattress feels closest to medium.
Frequently asked questions
Who should sleep on a soft mattress in Gauteng?
Side sleepers, people under about 60 kg, and anyone waking with pressure marks, numb arms or sore shoulders and hips. These sleepers need a surface with enough give to let the shoulder and hip settle in. Stomach sleepers, heavier bodies and most back sleepers should choose medium-firm or firmer instead.
Does Mr Mattress have a store in Gauteng?
Not yet. Mr Mattress has stores across South Africa, with more opening, but none in Gauteng at the moment. Every order includes a 365 night home trial instead, with no minimum hold period, so you can test a softer feel properly at home.
How much does a soft mattress cost in Gauteng?
The Mr Mattress Revive Memory Foam, our softest feel, costs from R4,899, mattress only, the same price everywhere in South Africa. Delivery to Gauteng is free, and every order includes the 365 night home trial.
How long does delivery take in Gauteng?
Delivery is free anywhere in Gauteng. National orders, which includes Gauteng, usually take 3 to 7 working days depending on your area.
How does the Mr Mattress trial compare to Cloud Nine?
Cloud Nine offers a 100 night comfort trial. Mr Mattress gives 365 nights with no minimum hold period, so if a softer feel is not right for you, you are not locked in while you wait out someone else's return window.

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
What if a soft mattress is too soft for me in Gauteng?
You have 365 nights at home and a 30 day money-back guarantee. Active Foam is the usual firmer swap.
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.
