Industry Sales by Quarter 2012 Q4 to 2019 Q4 Bedding Industry

February 7, 2020  by Laurie Northington in General   

The Bedding industry’s instability continued throughout 2019, posting little improvement. Fourth quarter sales estimates of $3.81 billion represented a 2.4% increase over the same Q4 of 2018, but was 9.5% lower than the previous 2019 Q3. This decline is consistent with Bedding’s typical Q4 seasonality dip. International tariff wars appeared to be easing at year-end with 2019 sales totaling an estimated $15.89 billion – down 1.9% compared to 2018.

Bedding’s difficulties stand out when comparing 2019 quarter-over-quarter growth to 2018. Only 2019 Q4 showed a slight 2.4% increase, but that was compared to an underperforming 2018 Q4.

Preliminary estimates of 2019 Bedding sales total $15.89 billion – down 1.9% versus 2018 – and showing the first negative growth since the Great Recession.
