(Grand View Research)

Is the mattress business profitable?

Yes, the mattress industry is profitable, with profit margins commonly around 40-50%.

These markups mean that a mattress selling for $1000 may have cost around $600-700 to make and ship.

Most new mattresses are made to order, so 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.

What are the US laws concerning mattress sales?

US federal law requires every mattress sold in the United States to pass two flammability tests.

• Under 16 CFR 1632, the smoldering test, a mattress must resist lit cigarettes placed on its surface, with any char spreading no more than 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the cigarette.
• Under 16 CFR 1633, the open flame test, a mattress set is exposed to gas burners for 30 minutes, and the resulting fire must never exceed a peak of 200 kilowatts.

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.

What are the US laws concerning crib mattresses?

All crib mattresses manufactured or sold in the U.S. must comply with the federal safety standard 16 CFR Part 1241.

This includes tests for firmness, fit, thickness, and coil spring safety (if applicable).

Chemical safety tests are limited to lead (with a maximum permitted level of 90 ppm) and certain phthalates (with a maximum level of 0.1%).

Consumers wanting higher chemical and material safety standards often purchase GOTS and GREENGUARD Gold certified crib mattresses because these independent certifications place strict limits on chemical content and emissions.

Online Mattress Sales Statistics

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.

What are customer attitudes towards buying mattresses online?

• 51% of actual mattress purchases still happen in-store.

(Better Sleep Council / OpenBrand)

How many online mattress companies are there?

There are around 175 "bed in a box" online mattress companies as of 2019. (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.

Mattress Recycling & Sustainability Statistics

Whenever a consumer or business buys a new mattress, the question arises of what should be done with the old one.

Unfortunately, the statistics illustrated by the infographic below show that whilst most mattresses can be recycled, far too many still go to waste.

• More than 50,000 mattresses are discarded in the U.S. each day.
• The average age of discarded mattresses is 11.2 years.
• More than 75 percent of mattress materials can be recycled.
• But less than 10% of discarded mattresses are actually recycled.
• There are currently 59 mattress recycling facilities available across the United States.
• More than 17 million mattresses have been recycled in the US to date - but millions more have gone to landfill.

(Mattress Recycling Council / Product Stewardship Institute)

Recycling old mattresses is free for households and businesses in California, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Oregon, where a recycling fee added to every new mattress sold pays for the drop-off sites.

Mattresses in the Hospitality Industry

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.

How often do hotels replace mattresses?

It can vary depending on the type of hotel. On average, hotels replace their mattresses:

• Reputable, medium to high-budget hotels - Every 3-5 years
• New, unknown, or low-budget hotels - Every 8-10 years.

Mattresses may be replaced sooner if they are damaged or soiled to the extent that they become unusable.

Memory Foam Mattress Facts

Little-Known Facts

We'll end with a couple of random mattress facts that most people don't know.

Can a mattress really last 20 years?

Yes, dense latex mattresses can last for more than 20 years. Avocado offers a 25-year warranty on its products, and PlushBeds offers a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

Traditional innerspring mattresses are unlikely to last as long unless they are rarely slept on.

Is it true that there are more mattress stores than Starbucks?

Consumer habits are changing, with more people looking to buy online, and factors such as health and sustainability becoming more important.

We also learned that most mattresses can and should be recycled when they reach end of life, but that in practice this is still not happening often enough.
