Durban, with its year-round warm weather, is one of South Africa’s favourite holiday destinations.
As a result, there is a need for homeowners and accommodation rental owners, to know of the best beds for sale in Durban, at the best prices.
But specifically because of the humid weather all year round, you have to be careful about which bed you choose, because it’s so easy to overheat, and with some beds, in Durban, you are likely to downright cook.
It’s always vital to do your homework first, and this bed guide should help you decide on what factors to look for pre-purchase, but we need to mention that in Durban specifically, you need beds that come with good ventilation systems, like the Genie bed set, in order to prevent overheating, mould and mites.
Anyhoo, here are 5 of the best retailers in Durban:
Retailers: beds for sale in Durban
1: Essops
Essops is a family run business which has been selling furniture and beds since the early 1990s.
Currently, Essops have a total of 16 stores in South Africa, selling furniture, lighting and household accessories. The mattresses sold on their website are from Rest Assured and Cloud Nine.
Either visit their store in Durban City View Shopping Centre in Greyville or shop online, where you can buy mattresses, a base or both, as well as any other home furniture.
Search on their site for Rest Assured or Cloud Nine beds, and filter by price and size.

2: Hirsch’s
Hirsch’s started humbly by the Hirsch couple in 1979, with just a layout of R900. They ran their small business from a small showroom which grew to 17 stores around South Africa today.
Hirsch does not only have beds for sale in Durban, but is also a chain of appliance and home furnishing suppliers. Their head office is situated in Umgeni Road in Durban and they have four branches around Durban.
However, you can also buy furniture, appliances and beds from their website, so you can be situated anywhere. Their website allows for searches by brand, price, size and colour.
Choose from these brands of beds:
- Genie Beds
- Rest Assured
- Genessi
- Medi Spine
- Cloud Nine
- …and much more
You can speak to someone directly from their website (Live Chat) if you need some guidance, but do make sure to do your homework before making your final choice (that goes for any retailer offering beds for sale in Durban or South Africa, for that matter.)
Note that Hirsch’s sell the Genie base and mattress in every size.
3: House & Home
House & Home is a large and stable retailer going back to the 1970s. They don’t only sell beds, but any household goods.
House & Home offer convenient online purchasing direct from their website, or you can visit any one of their 53 stores all over South Africa.
Something handy that they offer which most of their competitors don’t is, finance options, so if you have a good credit record, you may not need to pay everything upfront.
Being a supplier of all home goods, their website does not focus on beds; a search will allow you to sort by price, and you can choose from these bed brands:
- Sertapedic
- Restonic
- Edblo
- Technisleep
- …and much more

4: The Mattress Warehouse
The Mattress Warehouse is the largest online wholesale bed supplier in South Africa, also offering beds for sale in Durban of course, and delivering nationally, so it doesn’t matter where you reside, just pop on over to their website and place your order (after doing your due diligence, naturally: here’s a handy bed guide to make an informed decision about which bed to buy)..
The Mattress Warehouse says they will beat any written quotation, so if you find the same bed anywhere else and it’s less than what The Mattress Warehouse offers it for, you will get it for less…
More than any other retailer we’ve listed, this warehouse sells a huge variety of premium brands (14 in total), including Genie Beds, Cloud Nine, Rest Assured, Edblo, Genessi, Restonic, Universe Bedding and Simmons.
Their store consultants are trained as sleep pros, so they can also help advise which bed is going to be best for your needs.
They specialise in providing the hospitality industry with beds, so if you run an accommodation based business, you can get beds for less when bought in bulk.
Their website makes it easy to find what you’re looking for, because you can search by brand, or bed size. Not only can you buy beds from The Mattress Warehouse, but also other furniture and accessories.
5: Value City Wholesalers
Value City Wholesalers, a family run store and unlike the other retailers on this list, only offer beds for sale in Durban via their one store, situated in 44 Kirkland Street, Newcastle, Durban.
They do not have a website, but you can check them out on their Facebook page which they keep updated, and you can also get a good idea of the types of things they sell.
They have a large range of all household goods and offer very good specials, so you may want to keep a lookout for those.
