Global Latex Mattress Market 2014-2018: Market Size and Forecasts
M2 - Thu Feb 13, 5:05AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hz3zjr/global_latex) has announced the addition of the "Global Latex Mattress Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Latex Mattress market to grow at a CAGR of 14.87 percent over the period 2014-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the need for environment-friendly products. The Global Latex Mattress market has also been witnessing the product innovation through R&D activities. However, the high cost of latex mattresses could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space include Astrabeds LLC, Organic Mattress Inc., Pure LatexBliss LLC, Royal-Pedic Mattress Manufacturing LLC. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Boyd Specialty Sleep, Comfort Solutions, FloBeds, Sealy Corp., Simmons Bedding Co. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The need for vendors to produce innovative latex mattresses is leading to increased expenditure on R&D activities. Latex mattresses, though natural, are heavy, costly, and considered to be less comfortable than memory foam mattresses. In an effort to address these issues, vendors are increasing their R&D investment and introducing innovative latex mattresses such as the Split Firmness Latex Mattress and Natural Latex Crib Mattresses into the market. Some manufacturers are also experimenting with natural latex by mixing it with innovative technologies. For instance, Latex International uses its patented phase-change material in latex mattresses which enables the sleeper to maintain a consistent body temperature. These innovations are expected to lead to the increased adoption of latex mattresses during the forecast period. According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the growing concern about the environment and the demand for environment-friendly products. Environment-friendly products reduce the risk of allergies and other contaminant-related diseases for end-users.

Memory Foam Mattress Market in the US 2012-2016: Plant-Based Memory Foam Mattresses are 20-25 Percent Cooler than the Traditional Ones
M2 - Wed Oct 09, 8:42AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wsqjds/memory_foam) has announced the addition of the "Memory Foam Mattress Market in the US 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Memory Foam Mattress market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 11.96 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing cases of sleep disorders. The Memory Foam Mattress market in the US has also been witnessing the introduction of plant-based memory foam mattresses. However, the high cost of memory foam mattresses could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space include Sealy Corp., Select Comfort Corp., Serta Inc., and Tempur-Pedic International Inc. The other vendors mentioned in the report are Cascade Design Inc., Comfort Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Corsicana Bedding Inc., Crown Craft Inc., Dorel Industries Inc., Leggett and Platt Inc., Kingsdown Inc., Restonic Mattress Corp., Southland Bedding Co., and Spring Air International LLC. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Memory Foam Mattress market in the US is witnessing the introduction of plant-based memory foam mattresses. Unlike traditional or gel-based memory foam mattresses, plant-based memory foam mattresses are made of plant extracts rather than the petroleum by-product polyurethane. This significantly reduces the odour issues related to the memory foam mattresses. In addition, plant-based memory foam mattresses are 20-25 percent cooler than the traditional ones. This enhances the breathability and reduces the issue of heat retention by the mattresses. Thus, for these reasons, the introduction of plant-based memory foam mattresses is expected to witness significant growth and contribute revenue to the Memory Foam Mattress market in the US during the forecast period. According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increase in cases of sleep disorders among the US people. The increasing number of patients suffering from sleep disorders in the US has propelled the end-users to adopt memory foam mattresses.
