Both maturer and more mature would be allowed, though people generally use the latter. Likewise, maturest and most mature also are correct.

maturer, maturest
When unsure of the comparative or superlative form, your best bet is to consult a dictionary, but a general rule is this:
Most one- and two- syllable adjectives will take the –er and –est endings to make the comparative or superlative. Most longer adjectives take the “more”/ “less” “most” / “least” route.
