The DTC model offers quality mattresses at an affordable price to customers. Presently, over 200 DTC mattress providers are present in the country, among which Casper, Tuft & Needle, Leesa, Saatva, and Purple are some of the popular ones. Therefore, the growing importance of sleep and increasing sales through the online channel are projected to accelerate the U.S. mattress market growth during the forecast period.
