“ISPA has made several important improvements in the quality and depth of the data presented in this year’s report,” said Ryan Trainer, president. “First, ISPA has revised our sampling factors—as we do every five years—to reflect the current bedding market. The biggest change since our last update in 2011 is the rapid growth in the boxed bedding segment. We are happy to announce that our 2016 and 2017 U.S. shipments data includes this important and growing segment.

“Second, we have added two new data points for motion foundations, capturing both the full size of the market for this product as well imports. Finally, mattress imports have grown swiftly. So that our readers can better analyze all segments that make up U.S. demand for bedding, this year’s report groups trends in U.S. mattress and stationary foundation shipments, motion foundation sales and imports together in the first three charts.”

In addition to these improvements, the 2017 report features the most comprehensive sales information available that ISPA members, mattress retailers, and those in the financial sector can use to track key business trends and make commercial and investment decisions.

The report includes a 20-year history of wholesale units, dollars and average unit prices for mattresses and foundations sold in the United States; regional sales data; mattress-size trends; price point data; household consumption information; contract sales; data on econometric factors that influence the industry; expert commentary on industry issues and a world mattress report prepared by the Italian firm Centre for Industrial Studies (CSIL).
