While we all have sleepless nights once in a while, getting a good night’s sleep is important to your overall well-being. Studies show that getting quality sleep time regularly will improve brain function, help ward off germs, and help improve blood pressure and heart health.

Since we spend roughly one-third of our lives asleep, the mattress industry plays an important role in overall health. Keeping up to date on mattress industry trends is vital as well for manufacturers and retailers.

With so many mattress options available, from traditional brands found in brick-and-mortar stores to direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands purchased online, the mattress market is an exciting and highly competitive space. Using TraQline data, along with reports from the sleep industry, we can highlight some of the most interesting mattress industry statistics.

Mattress Market Share by Manufacturer (US)

Sealy tops the list with 15% market share. Both Sealy and #2 Serta have seen their market share stabilize somewhat in the past year, after having lost share in previous years. D2C brands Purple and Nectar come in 4^th and 6^th, respectively. Nectar had the second-highest growth rate for unit share over the past year and has had significant increases in share for four of the last five years.

Demographics of Mattress Buyers

Mattress Industry Statistics You Need to Know

Here are a few other mattress industry statistics you should know about:

Most Frequently Purchased Mattress Size

The most frequently purchased mattress size is a Queen, with Full-Sized mattresses coming in a distant second.

Lie-Down Tests Are Declining

After two years of significant growth, online mattress sales declined significantly year over year. However, the majority of buyers still do not perform a lie-down test on a mattress before purchasing. In the rolling four quarters (R4Q) ending Q1 2022, about 53% of buyers did not test their mattress. This is down significantly from last year. As COVID restrictions continue to ease, we expect that number to tick back down as it becomes more feasible for shoppers to test a mattress before they make their purchase.

Average Mattress Purchase Price

TraQline mattress market analysis reveals that the average price paid for a mattress is $754, a nearly 16% increase over the average price paid this time last year.
