The U.S. bedding market experienced several declines in 2025, with the total market value for U.S.-produced and imported mattresses and foundations dropping 6.5% and unit shipments falling 13.2%, a new industry report says.
The International Sleep Products Association’s overview of mattress industry trends in 2025 notes that the “market contraction continues, driven primarily by volume declines.” It said the unit and value declines last year highlight “ongoing pressure on shipment volumes across the industry.”
The overview said total mattress units dropped 6.7% last year, while the value of mattress shipments was down 4%. The dollar value of stationary foundation shipments was down 23.5%, while stationary foundation units were down 25.2%. The decline in foundation shipments reflects “continued changes in purchasing patterns and product mix,” the report said.
ISPA said that domestic shipments declined across all regions in the country, with each region reporting lower mattress and foundation shipments. The South remained the largest market, accounting for about 42% of dollar value and 45% of units shipped among U.S.-produced products.
A bright spot in the report was the average unit price of U.S. mattresses, which increased by nearly 5% despite lower shipment volumes, “suggesting manufacturers maintained pricing discipline and benefitted from favorable product mix.”
The ISPA overview said that industry conditions “reflect a mature, value-focused market. The combination of lower unit demand, higher average prices, and broad-based declines across categories suggests a market that remains challenged by replacement-cycle timing and cautious consumer spending, while still supporting higher-value product offerings.”
ISPA noted that imports softened alongside domestic production, indicating that reduced demand affected both supply channels rather than a shift in sourcing strategy. Total mattress imports declined in both value and units. Imported stationary foundations posted some of the sharpest declines in the report, with unit shipments down more than 30%, “signaling substantial weakness in that category,” ISPA said.
While imported motion foundation dollar values declined, unit shipments increased year over year, “suggesting continued consumer interest in adjustable sleep products despite broader market softness.”
The report noted a sharper contraction in foundation shipments, particularly impacting domestic and imported foundation categories. And it noted a diverging performance across import categories, with relatively stable mattress imports but steep declines in imported foundations.
While both U.S. production and imports declined overall, much of the weakness was concentrated in stationary foundations. Mattress shipments were more stable by comparison, including imports, where mattress units fell just 2.2%.
Looking at mattress sizes, the report said that domestic mattress shipments shifted toward larger sizes in 2025, with queen and king gaining share, while twin and full sizes declined, “reflecting a continued move toward higher-priced products.”
