Public data shows that the smart mattress industry is maintaining rapid growth, with the market size surpassing 18 billion yuan by 2025, and the proportion of high-end products continuously increasing. Industry experts say that smart mattresses and sofas have become core tracks for breaking through growth bottlenecks in the soft furniture industry and are key to its intelligent transformation. In the future, smart mattresses will continue to deepen around the “hardware + data + service” model, with industry scale expected to expand further by 2026. As technology matures and consumer awareness rises, smart mattresses are expected to evolve from niche high-end products to mainstream popular items, driving the entire soft furniture industry toward health and intelligence.

Focusing on Smart Mattresses

As digital life penetrates fully, consumers’ demand for healthy sleep is growing more urgent. However, the “2026 Xilinmen China Sleep Index Report” (hereinafter “Sleep Index Report”) shows that sleep quality is continuously declining.

The Sleep Index Report indicates that China’s sleep index peaked at 68.74 points in 2024, then fell to 63.15 in 2025. Notably, the sleep quality score dropped to 60.14, the lowest since 2021. Against this backdrop, many companies are accelerating their layout in the smart mattress sector to improve consumers’ sleep quality.

It’s worth noting that in the exploration of smart mattress technology, companies focus on different aspects. Unlike KUKA Home, which emphasizes AI adaptive comfort, Aiyirui starts with micro-environment regulation; Mousse promotes smart development through a “hardware + data + service” closed-loop; and Anan Home’s Tisp AI mattress is designed based on mass consumer needs.

Aiyirui’s representative said the company has adhered to the concept of “healthy deep sleep” for many years, focusing on how to truly extend deep sleep duration. They developed the MESHTECH sleep micro-environment regulation system on Apollo mattresses. The entire technical approach is not just conceptual but verified through a series of experiments, including sleep structure testing and temperature/humidity testing at the sleep interface. Ultimately, they proved that micro-environment optimization can positively impact sleep onset speed, deep sleep ratio, and sleep continuity, and they have integrated this capability into their products.

Beijing Business Daily learned that Mousse launched the Hongmeng Smart Mousse ProH-DESIGN, relying on Starshine technology’s digital base to achieve seamless interaction with lighting, curtains, air conditioning, and other Hongmeng ecosystem appliances, solving the “device island” problem in smart home. Through a “AI + ecosystem” differentiated development path, Mousse promotes deep integration of smart mattresses with whole-house smart systems.

Regarding future development, Yao Jiqing, Vice Chairman and President of Mousse Group, stated at the launch event that in 2025, Mousse will officially launch the All IN AI strategy and become a partner of Hongmeng Smart Selection. Deep integration with Huawei’s Hongmeng ecosystem is based on joint research at the code level. Moving forward, Mousse will focus on AI and continue to deepen sleep research.

Anan Home’s Tisp AI mattress enters the smart mattress sector with high adaptability and cost-effectiveness, launching multiple smart mattress products. Tisp General Manager Xiong Honglong told Beijing Business Daily that the team comes from cross-industry backgrounds such as home appliances and the internet. Their R&D system collaborates with universities and spine health experts, providing professional advice. This makes the product fundamentally internet-based, AI-driven, and capable of continuous learning and optimization, rather than just a “modified version” of traditional mattresses with electronic functions. In the future, Tisp will continue leveraging Anan Home’s R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain advantages to deepen its focus on smart sleep.

Multiple Factors Drive Growth

The rising tide of the smart mattress sector is driven by increasing consumer health awareness. Beijing Business Daily found that consumers are paying more attention to sleep quality, material safety, and smart technology.

During visits to retail outlets, the reporter noticed that consumers no longer only focus on basic parameters like softness or firmness when choosing mattresses. Their interest in smart mattresses has significantly increased. Ms. Wang said, “In the past two years, I’ve been wearing a watch to monitor my sleep. Sometimes I go to bed early but still wake up feeling tired. When I check the watch, I see that my deep sleep only lasts a few minutes. I’ve read a lot about smart mattresses online that claim to improve sleep quality and have features like massage and zero gravity. I wanted to try one in person.”

In fact, many consumers like Ms. Wang face sleep issues. The Sleep Index Report shows that over the past year, Chinese people have experienced significant phenomena like ineffective sleep and sleep theft by phones. While 70.5% believe they get the standard 6–8 hours of sleep, only 12.3% wake up feeling fully rested. Over 40% say they don’t feel refreshed at all.

Growing concern over sleep quality has created new opportunities for the smart mattress market. Currently, the soft furniture industry is shifting from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing. Industry veterans say technological innovation is a strong support for rapid development. The fast advancement of IoT, AI, and sensors has upgraded functions like sleep monitoring and adaptive regulation, reducing R&D and production costs, making widespread adoption possible.

It’s also notable that policies are promoting the rapid development of smart mattresses. In September 2025, the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standards Committee) approved and issued the national standard for “Smart Mattresses,” which took effect on March 1 this year. The standard sets unified benchmarks for the intelligence, functionality, and safety of smart mattress products.

Industry insiders say that the rise of the smart mattress sector results from a combination of consumer upgrading, technological progress, and industry transformation. The release of health-conscious demands provides a demand foundation, technological innovation drives continuous feature upgrades, and policy regulation offers industry support. Under these multiple factors, the soft furniture industry is accelerating its move toward intelligence, crossing from “traditional manufacturing” to “smart manufacturing.”

Opportunities and Challenges

With rapid technological development, the smart mattress industry is trending toward diversification, intelligence, and ecosystem integration. In terms of functionality, smart mattresses can now incorporate AI algorithms and big data to achieve more precise sleep monitoring and personalized health interventions.

Beijing Business Daily learned that KUKA Home’s smart mattress integrates features like Wave™ wave-style pressure relief, intelligent flip adjustment, and snoring reduction, helping consumers move from “falling asleep” to “sleeping well.” Anan Home’s Tisp smart mattress uses intelligent sensing and zoned support technology to automatically adjust support based on weight and sleep position, catering to different groups like the elderly and children.

Despite promising prospects, the industry faces challenges. Product homogenization is common, with some small and medium enterprises lacking core technology and blindly following trends, offering only basic monitoring functions without differentiation.

Mr. Li, a consumer, told the reporter that he bought a “smart mattress” long ago, but it only monitors turning over and sleep duration, with inaccurate data. Long hours on his phone while lying down can falsely register as sleep. The mattress also offers no solutions for sleep problems.

Industry expert Xiong Honglong believes that the domestic smart mattress market is still in its early stages. Although the industry is exploring many directions, overall market penetration remains low. During product commercialization, some overhyped concepts, homogenized products, and inflated prices have raised consumer expectations and made choices more difficult.

While there are many obstacles, the industry’s long-term potential remains promising. As standards improve and technology advances, the market will continue to grow. Aiyirui’s representative said that future smart mattresses will evolve from “single product competition” to “sleep system and scene competition.” Mattresses will no longer be standalone but part of a comprehensive sleep environment, involving lighting, air quality, temperature, and sound. Smart technology will shift from just “connectivity” to “regulation,” dynamically adjusting environments based on human states to truly improve sleep quality.
