COSTA MESA, Calif.: 14 Nov. 2018 — Mattress customer satisfaction is declining due to lack of support, durability and comfort levels, according to the J.D. Power 2018 Mattress Satisfaction Report.SM
Satisfaction declines to 840 (on a 1,000-point scale) from 842 in 2017. Only two of seven factors show improvement in 2018, with the greatest decline in the support factor (843 in 2018 vs. 855 in 2017).
“Although price is big reason people are choosing their mattress brand, it remains imperative that the product itself remains a priority,” said Greg Truex, Managing Director at J.D. Power. “Comfort of the mattress is the biggest driver of satisfaction and if the issues with support and durability remain, manufacturers will only see a continued decline in satisfaction.”
