Furniture Today’s exclusive 2009 Bedding Distribution Report reveals 2008 bedding market share through seven distribution channels. Figures are based on 2008 retail sales of conventional mattresses and boxsprings, as well as foam bedding, futons, airbeds, adjustable beds and waterbeds. 2008 market share data for each channel is compared with market share data for 2006 and 2004. Channels covered in the report include bedding specialty stores, furniture stores, department stores, direct-to-consumer, warehouse membership clubs, factory direct and the other channel, which includes furniture rental stores, discount department stores, off-price retailers and military exchanges, among others. Furniture Today used a variety of sources to estimate the percentage of bedding sales in each channel including data from Furniture Today's exclusive rankings of the Top 25 bedding retailers and Top 100 U.S. Furniture Stores. Market share estimates are also based on data from Furniture Today and HGTV’s exclusive 2009 Bedding Views Consumer Survey, conducted February 2009. Additionally, leading bedding producers and retailers were asked to estimate 2008 market share percentages by distribution channel and comment on developments within each channel. The 2009 Bedding Distribution Report was compiled and analyzed by Executive Editor David Perry and Group Research Manager Dana French. 3 pages Please Note: This report is available for immediate electronic download in PDF format.
