There is nothing like a good quality mattress to help one feel well rested in the morning. Since 2009, furniture and bedding sales in the United States have been on the rise. The global mattress market is expected to grow from about 35 billion U.S. dollars in 2021 to 43 billion dollars by 2024. One of the major trends in recent years has been mattress e-commerce. Bed-in-a-box mattress companies such as Tempur-Pedic and Casper have found solid footing in the U.S. mattress retail market.
Where do consumers in the United States prefer to shop for a new mattress? Recent survey data points to specialized mattress stores as the most popular place to purchase a new mattress. Perhaps this is unsurprising when one considers the ubiquity of radio and television advertisements for mattress stores all across America, with each store promoting multiple blowout sales per year with special deals on top mattress brands.
Most consumers in the United States have also been open-minded about purchasing their new mattress online and having it delivered to their home, however only 38 percent of mattress retailers sell online. Of these, Casper, Purple, and Tuft & Needle are among the leading brands.
There have been many innovations in the mattress industry, such as latex, cold foam, and memory foam mattresses; with memory foam alone holding a 6.7 billion U.S. dollar market valuation as of 2021. However, the classic and affordable spring mattress is still the most popular. A 2016 survey found that U.S. consumers consider the comfort and support of the mattress to be the most important factor when shopping for a mattress, followed by free delivery and non-pushy salespeople in the store.
