Tips for Renting a Mattress for Students in Jogja
When you first move into a student room in Yogyakarta, one of the most important essentials you need to sort out straight away is a mattress. A good night's sleep is crucial for focusing on your studies and daily activities. However, the question often arises: is it better to buy a new mattress or just rent one?
For most students — especially those who will only be staying for 1 to 4 years — renting a mattress is often a much more practical and cost-effective solution. Here is a complete guide for you!
Why Renting a Mattress is Better for Students
-
Save on Initial Costs (No Upfront Cost) Buying a quality foam mattress or springbed requires a significant amount of money upfront. By renting, you can allocate those funds to other university essentials. You only need to pay an affordable monthly rent.
-
Hassle-Free When Moving or Graduating This is a classic student dilemma: wondering what to do with the mattress once you graduate or move out of town. Second-hand mattresses are very difficult to resell at a decent price. If you rent, you simply call the rental company and they will come and collect it.
-
Guaranteed Cleanliness & Maintenance At a professional rental service like Santi Living, the mattress you rent is guaranteed to be clean, fresh-smelling, and disinfected. This is quite different from buying a second-hand mattress from a senior student, where the cleanliness can sometimes be questionable.
Tips for Choosing a Rental Mattress for Your Room
-
Choose the Right Size: For a single room, a Single Standard (90x200 cm) or Single Super (100x200 cm) size is more than enough. Avoid renting a Double (120x200) mattress if your room is small, as it will take up too much floor space.

-
Choose a Quality Foam Mattress: Make sure you rent a foam mattress with a thickness of at least 15 cm. A mattress that is too thin will leave your body aching after a long day.
-
Renting a Complete Package is Cheaper: If you don't want the hassle of buying your own bedsheets, blankets, and pillows, it's better to look for a rental place that offers a "Complete Package". At Santi Living, this package works out much cheaper than renting individual items.
-
Pay Attention to Delivery Fees: Make sure the rental company offers free or cheap delivery. A mattress is a bulky item, and pickup delivery costs can be expensive! Santi Living offers free delivery for the Godean area and a minimal flat rate for other areas in Jogja.
