Frequently
asked questions- Mattresses |
Buying a mattress is no easy task and can turn from difficult
to nightmare with all the marketing hype. We as consumers
suffer from option overload. To many options, or what are
preceived as options from the marketers.
This site is dedicated to providing as much information as
possible to assist you in your next purchase. It may get too
far into the nuts and bolts of mattresses but we have found
that specifics, are exactly what is missing, in mattress "guides"
or "forms". We also try to shed light on some of
the horror stories consumers have told, balancing it out with
the perspective of the retailer and manufacturer. |
| Mattress business world report...
|
The United States remains
the world's largest mattress market, with a production topping
$4.5 billion U.S. last year, but China has become the world's
largest exporter of mattresses, with its exports increasing
a whopping 25% between 2004 and 2005, according to the 2005
World Mattress Industry Report compiled by CsilMilano.
The United States leads the list of mattress producing
countries, followed by China, Canada, Germany, Italy, the
United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Spain and Japan.
The report shows that mattress production (at
wholesale prices, excluding foundations) for just seven countries-Candad,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the
United States-grew $0.5 billion between 2004 and 2005, bringing
total production of those countries to $7.9 billion. Considering
the output of 13 other leading producers adds $3.8 billion
to the tally, for a total of $11.7 billion.
Innerspring mattresses continue to account for
the majority of mattresses produced in many of these countries.
Some 55% of units produced in Europe are innerspring, as are
78% of units produced in North America. |
| Imports and exports... |
For 20 major countries for which
figures were available, the imports/consumption ratio has
increased from 7% in 1998 to 11% in 2005. The
opening of new markets in which international trade is expanding
is expected to continue as recent improvements in transport
logistics are changing the economics of mattress trade,"
according to the report.
Countries doing the
most importing are Germany, the United States, France, Japan,
Spain and the United Kingdom, CsilMilano says.
China
now leads the list of exporting countries, followed by Belgium,
Denmark, Italy and Poland.CsilMilano's forcast for 2006-2007
is for continued growth of international trade of mattreses,
reflecting the increasing role of china. |
|
| This report does not reflect
the true volume and impact of China mattress imports as of
Oct 31, 2006. The importers are moving too fast to fill the
United States market pushing out out small independent manufactuers
and eroding the margins of the major's medium and low in mattress
lines. |
