The mattress industry experienced a significant decline in sales and units sold in 2023, according to the latest trend report from the International Sleep Products Association (ISPA). The report revealed that both the dollar amount sold and the number of units sold in the mattress category dropped compared to the previous year.
In 2023, the total sales of mattresses and stationary foundations decreased by 6.8% to $9.84 billion from $10.56 billion in 2022. Similarly, the number of units sold dropped by 8% to 39.7 million compared to 43.2 million in the previous year.
Specifically, sales of mattress-only products declined by 7.3% in value to $8.56 billion in 2023, and the number of units shipped slid by 8.2% to 25.88 million. These figures reflect a downward trend in consumer demand for mattresses.
The decline in the mattress industry was not solely limited to domestic sales. While sales of domestically-made mattresses dropped by 6.6% to $7.78 billion in 2023, sales of imported mattresses experienced an even steeper decline of 13.4%. The value of imported mattresses was reported at $1.6 billion, compared to $1.7 million in 2021.
The number of units sold further emphasizes this decline. Domestic mattress sales saw a decrease of 7.6% to 18.9 million units in 2023, while the number of units sold for imported mattresses declined by 5.1% to 15.4 million.
These statistics paint a clear picture of the challenges faced by the mattress industry. While there may be various reasons behind this decline, such as changing consumer preferences or increased competition, it is evident that the industry needs to explore new strategies to attract customers and drive sales.
As the mattress industry continues to navigate this challenging landscape, manufacturers and retailers must adapt to changing market dynamics. Innovation, product differentiation, and effective marketing strategies will be crucial in revitalizing this essential sector of the home furnishings industry.
