CLEVELAND, Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- US demand for non-innerspring mattresses is projected to climb 4.9% per annum to $2.7 billion in 2020, outpacing the larger innerspring mattresses segment. Gains will represent the continued market shift from innerspring to non-innerspring mattress types.

These findings are featured in Sleep Products: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports, a division of The Freedonia Group.

Growth to Slow with Increasing Competition

Manufacturers of specialty mattresses will continue to attract consumers by emphasizing the performance advantages of foam mattresses, with a focus on the cost-benefit ratio of these products. In addition, bed-in-a-box products, which are often available at lower price points than traditional foam mattresses, will make these mattresses accessible to a broader customer base. Suppliers of ultra-high-end all-latex mattresses will continue to benefit from the positioning of their product as "natural". Meanwhile, interest in beds featuring adjustable firmness will spur sales growth for high-end air mattresses. Despite the generally positive outlook, segment growth will slow from rates seen earlier in the historical period as competition from innerspring mattresses – reinvigorated by the emergence of hybrid models – restrains growth.

The full report, Sleep Products: United States, forecasts US sleep product demand and shipments in US dollars at the manufacturers' level to 2020. Total demand and shipments are segmented by product type in terms of:

innerspring mattresses
non-innerspring mattresses

In addition, inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags are not included in this report. Re-exports of sleep products are excluded from demand and trade figures.
