2025 and 2026 may show increases after 2024’s projected decrease.
The International Sleep Products Association’s Statistics Committee released its forecast for the U.S. mattress market, which covers the calendar years 2024 through 2026, in late November. Based in part on the current outlook for the national economy prepared by the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics at the University of Michigan (the Michigan Model) and input from the ISPA Statistics Committee Forecast Panel, the consensus view was that the wholesale value of the total U.S. mattress market, which includes United States produced sleep products and imports, would decrease in 2024 but increase in 2025 and 2026.
For 2024, the report forecasts a 4.5% decrease in the wholesale value of mattress shipments and a 7.5% decrease in unit shipments. For 2025, the forecast predicts a 3% increase in the value of mattress shipments, while units shipped would increase by 1.5%. For 2026, the forecast anticipate a 6% increase in the value of mattress shipments and a 4% increase in unit shipments.
The forecast also contains economic and market analyses provided by Jerry Epperson of Mann, Armistead & Epperson Ltd., and Ashraf Abdul Mohsen of Industry Insights Inc. ISPA updates and publishes the Mattress Industry Forecast two or three times a year, depending on market conditions.
