ALEXANDRIA, VA — The International Sleep Products Association (ISPA) has released its 2026 Mattress Industry Trends Report (MITR), providing a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. mattress market and the economic forces shaping industry performance. The report finds that while the market continued to contract in 2025, manufacturers maintained pricing discipline and product mix, helping offset declines in shipment volume.

According to the report, total U.S. mattress market value declined 6.5% year over year, while unit shipments fell 13.2%, underscoring continued softness in consumer demand. The report also identifies significant shifts across product categories, regional performance, imports and exports, pricing, and consumer purchasing behavior.

“Looking beyond the headline numbers, the data shows a market where value proved more resilient than unit demand,” said Mary Thorpe, director of industry research and analytics at ISPA. “Unit demand remained under pressure in 2025, but pricing discipline and product mix helped limit the decline in dollar value. Manufacturers largely maintained pricing despite lower volumes, while a shift toward larger mattress sizes contributed to higher average unit values. Together, these trends offer important insight into how the industry is responding to a cautious consumer environment.”

The report highlights several key findings:

  • Market value declined 6.5%, while shipment volumes fell 13.2%, indicating demand remains under pressure.
  • Average selling prices increased despite lower unit shipments, reflecting continued pricing discipline and favorable product mix.
  • Foundations experienced the sharpest declines across both domestic production and imports.
  • Adjustable bases remained comparatively resilient, signaling continued consumer interest in premium sleep products.
  • Domestic shipments declined across every U.S. region, while imports also softened, suggesting broad-based demand weakness rather than sourcing shifts.

The MITR serves as one of the industry’s most comprehensive benchmarking resources, offering executives, analysts, and business leaders detailed market intelligence to support strategic planning, forecasting, investment decisions, and competitive analysis.

“The current environment reinforces the importance of relying on objective market data rather than anecdotal trends,” Thorpe added. “Understanding why value declined less than units helps put the market’s performance into proper context and provides a clearer view of underlying trends shaping business decisions across the industry.”
