Mattress supports market in Italy

Earlier Report Observations

The Italian mattress supports market expanded from 76.4 million US dollars in 2018 to 143.1 million US dollars in 2021, a growth largely propelled by successive fiscal incentives aimed at boosting consumer spending. The introduction of the Bonus letti e materassi in 2018, offering a 50% tax deduction for mattress purchases linked to home renovations, laid the groundwork. This was followed by the launch of the more impactful Bonus Mobili in 2021, which provided a 50% deduction for mattresses included in a furniture bonus scheme, significantly stimulating demand, particularly in online sales channels.

Market volume experienced a correction in 2022, dipping to 128.4 million US dollars, before rebounding to 158.7 million US dollars in 2023, supported by the extension of the Bonus Mobili program. By 2024, the market contracted to 111.5 million US dollars, a period coinciding with the enforcement of the new EU Ecodesign Regulation, which introduced stringent environmental criteria, a digital product passport, and a ban on the destruction of unsold goods, potentially altering market conditions.
