Bedding specialty stores continue to gain share in the retail mattress marketplace while the furniture store channel continues to lose ground. Other key bedding channels, meanwhile, are holding steady, but lag far behind specialty stores and furniture stores in their positions in the market.

About the numbers

Furniture/Today’s exclusive 2013 Bedding Distribution Report breaks retail bedding distribution out in seven channels: Bedding specialty stores, furniture stores, department stores, direct-to-consumer, warehouse clubs, “other,” and factory direct.
