These statistics show the current size of the global mattress industry market, its major players, consumer demographics, and forecast growth.
The current global mattress market size is $30.81 billion. (Zion Market Research)
It is estimated that the market declined by 13% in 2020 due to suppressed demand and supply chain issues caused by the COVID pandemic. (Fortune Business)
However, it has since recovered and analysts forecast significant mattress market growth until 2030.
The mattress industry is predicted to enjoy a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of around 7% for the remainder of the decade.
It is estimated that the global mattress market will be valued at $64 billion by 2030.
Increasing consumer awareness around the health benefits of sleep is one of the main factors driving these market trends.

Asia Pacific is the region with the most mattress demand globally, with a 39% share of the global market.
The demand is driven by the high population in both China and India.
North America (24%) and South America (20%) also have a significant share of the global market. (TechNavio)
Consumers aged between 18 and 35 years replace their mattresses most often.
This is because they are more likely to experience major life events such as moving house, marriage, or starting a family - all of which are likely to lead to a mattress purchase.
(Grand View Research)
Yes, with profit margins commonly around 40-50% the mattress industry is certainly a profitable one.
These markups mean that a mattress selling for $1000 may have cost around $600-700 to make and ship.
Also, since most new mattresses are made to order, mattress stores hold very little stock, which keeps their overheads low. Online mattress companies don't even need a showroom, which means their profit margins can be higher still.

Tempur Sealy International is the largest bedding and mattress manufacturer in the world.
In the US, they are thought to command a 19% market share.
The Suibao Group (China) and Sheela Foam (India) are two of the other global brands that command significant market share in their regions.

Now let's focus on some key industry statistics for the US market.
The latest mattress industry sales data reveals that 35.9 million mattresses are sold every year in the US. (Statistic Brain)
There are around 600 mattress companies involved with the design and manufacture in the US in 2024.
There are a further 16,000 mattress retailers and stores.
(Grand View Research)
PlushBeds, Avocado, Brentwood Home, Birch, Eco Terra, My Green Mattress, Spindle, Wink Beds, Ashley, Tempur-Pedic, and Sealy are all brands that make their mattresses in the USA.
Many of these are eco-friendly mattress brands that use organic and sustainable materials, and make mattresses for all adult bed sizes. These are better for your health and for the environment.
Buying a mattress made in the USA ensures that it meets US regulations and quality standards, many of which are more stringent than those in other countries such as China.
It is kinder to the environment as it cuts down on emissions from shipping, and it also helps the US economy by supporting local jobs.
(TheRoundup)
The most popular mattresses in the US are innerspring mattresses, accounting for around 33% of total sales.
Globally, this figure is far higher - 66% of global mattress sales are spring/coil mattresses.
However, innerspring mattresses also have the lowest customer satisfaction rating of just 65%. This compares unfavorably with memory foam mattresses, which have an 80% average satisfaction rating.
(Consumer Reports / Fortune Business)
The 3 leading mattress sellers in the US are:
These retailers account for around 35% of the total US market.
(Traqline)
The average American spends $754 on a new mattress.
The average price of a queen-size, synthetic traditional innerspring mattress is $1,050. A queen-size latex mattress costs on average $3498.
Mattress prices can range between $300 and $5,000 depending on their size, quality, and the materials it is made from.
Better quality mattresses can last for many years, making them a better long-term investment and also better for the environment.

Employment in the US is booming, as the following 3 mattress industry statistics show:
(Ibis World)
US federal law requires that all mattresses sold in the United States must be flame-proof. (CPSC)
This is defined by their ability to withstand an open flame in test conditions, without sustaining a charred area of more than 2 inches in diameter.
However, some people are concerned about the side effects of chemicals used in flame retardants added to synthetic mattresses. This is one of the factors driving the popularity of organic mattress brands.
There are also specific laws concerning labeling on crib mattresses. These are designed to inform parents about the risk of injury from baby mattresses that contain coil springs, or those that are excessively soft.
The COVID pandemic led to a surge in consumers purchasing mattresses online, but the sector was growing already.
These statistics reveal the current state of the global mattress industry online, and projections for its future.
These 4 statistics show that consumer attitudes are very much beginning to shift towards online mattress sales and away from in-store purchases.
(BSC / International Sleep Products Association)
According to the latest estimates, there are around 175 "bed in a box" online mattress companies. (CNBC)
However, despite what some people might claim, they are not all the same.
Whilst it is true that many have similar branding and products, there are big differences between those online mattress companies that sell non-toxic bed-in-a-box mattresses and those that sell synthetic ones, in terms of both price and quality.
Whenever a consumer or business buys a new mattress, the question arises of what should be done with the old one.
Unfortunately, the statistics show that whilst most mattresses can be recycled, far too many still go to waste.

Hotels are a major purchaser in the international mattress market. But what mattresses do they use, and how often are they bought and replaced? You'll find the answers below.
It can vary depending on the type of hotel. On average, hotels replace their mattresses:
Mattresses may be replaced sooner if they are damaged or soiled to the extent that they become unusable.
(TheRoundup)
Marriott uses the Marriott Mattress which is made in the US by Jamison Bedding.
There are three versions of this memory foam mattress: Supreme, Presidential and Moxy.
(Marriott International)
Hilton hotels use mattresses made by Serta.
Different Hilton Brands such as Canopy and Hilton Garden have their own mattresses, but the majority of the chain uses the Serenity mattress.
(Hilton International)
Four Seasons uses signature mattresses made by the Simmons Bedding Company.
These synthetic memory foam mattresses are made in the USA and come in standard, plush, or firm versions.
(Four Seasons)
Memory foam is light and easy to transport, making it ideal for thin lightweight mattresses.
But with a few exceptions, most memory foam on the market is synthetic, and made from petroleum-based polymers. It isn't biodegradable, and can emit chemicals and VOCs.
Despite this, it remains highly popular.
We'll end with a couple of random mattress facts that most people don't know.
Yes, the best organic mattresses can last for more than 20 years. In fact, retailers such as PlushBeds and Avocado are offering a 25-year warranty on their products.
It is unlikely that traditional innerspring mattresses would last this long however, unless they are rarely slept on.
The quality and type of materials used to make the mattress will generally determine how long it lasts, which is why cheaper mattresses are often poor value in the long term.
(TheRoundup)
Yes - it's true! Current statistics show that there are approximately 16,000 mattress stores in the U.S.
Meanwhile, there are 15,444 US Starbucks outlets.
