To be held in Istanbul Expo Center, 19-22 October 2017, the next edition of Sleepwell Expo – Mattress and Technologies Fair, which is the first and only fair in Turkey in its field, will host the sector for the fourth time this year. Having a sharp rising trend in its three-year history, the 2016 edition of the show had recorded a drop due to the unsuccessful coup attempt. Still the show had hosted 76 exhibitors who had welcomed some 4,200 professional visitors.
Turkey’s mattress industry has been going through major changes leaving many less-developed stages behind. Almost all kinds of modern mattresses are either manufactured or represented in Turkey.

Running towards its major targets of 2023 set by the government, Turkey continues to pursue its development worldwide with its rapidly increasing population, advantageous geography, and contribution of exports by its advantageous geography. One of the most important sectors in Turkey, without any doubt, is the mattress industry, mattress machinery and components industry. Developments, innovations and example solidarity of the sector which has been performed in the mattress sector in recent years, have become the factors which affect the sleep products sector positively. With the same token, many positive economic indications which have been performed on behalf of the country and the sector in recent years, many regulations and directives made for the business volume and the mattress sector which has grown depending on the flow of foreign investments, indicate the importance of the SLEEPWELL Fair. The mattress main sector, sub-industry, machinery and equipment fair, which has been awaited for a long time by all sleep products industry professionals, will successfully be held for the 4th time in Istanbul Fair Center, which is located opposite of the Ataturk International Airport.
The mattress industry in Turkey has reached the sales figures of over 4 million in the local market in 2014. 95 percent of the market has been consisted of spring mattresses and remaining 5 percent of foam mattresses. The size of the market is very close to TL 1 billion and the growth rate is 7%. 20 thousand mattresses are produced daily in Kayseri which is followed by Istanbul and Izmir.

The mattresses, which are produced in Kayseri, are exported mainly to France, Germany and The Netherlands and other European countries and the different countries of the Middle East.
Representatives of the industry express that the trends that are seeking healthier, more comfortable sleep environments, play an important role in growth. According to the industry representatives the 3 million of the 4 million mattresses sold, have been sold to the individual consumers, 1 million to the institutions such as hotels, dorms and hospitals. There are around one thousand hotels which are under construction with 800 thousand-bed capacity in the country and the private sector hospital investments are accepted as an indicator that the growth in the industry will be continuous.
According to the info released by the Ministry of Health, 90 thousand of the bed capacity of the total 130 thousand at the hospitals will be changed and improved to advanced technology in a four-year period.
