A good mattress is one of the best investments for your health and sleep. This guide explains mattress prices in Kenya, the main types and sizes, and how to choose one that lasts.
Mattress types
- Standard foam: affordable, lighter density – fine for guest rooms and light use.
- High-density (HD) foam: firmer and far more durable – the best value for daily use.
- Spring/orthopedic: extra support and bounce, usually a premium option.
Sizes and thickness
Common Kenyan sizes are 3×6 (single), 4×6 (small double), 5×6 (queen) and 6×6 (king), in 6-inch or 8-inch thickness. Thicker, higher-density foam costs more but holds its shape for years.
Price ranges in Kenya
- 3x6x6 HD foam: ~KSh 5,000-8,000
- 5x6x8 HD foam: ~KSh 10,000-16,000
- Spring/orthopedic (5×6+): ~KSh 15,000-30,000+
How to choose
- For daily use, pick high-density foam over cheap standard foam – it will not sink.
- Match the size to your bed exactly.
- Side sleepers prefer a little softness; back sleepers prefer firmer support.
