As consumer preferences in China continue to evolve, there is a clear shift towards quality and functionality in home textiles. Forward-thinking companies in the industry are responding to this demand by integrating innovative solutions into their product lines. Smart bedding is emerging as a key trend at the upcoming Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Spring Edition 2025, taking place from 11 to 13 March at the National Exhibition and Convention Center. Visitors can explore the latest advancements in upholstery, towels, carpets, rugs, curtains, and more, with a special focus on sustainability and sleep-enhancing smart bedding solutions.
Smart Bedding: The Future of Sleep Comfort
With global population growth, rising disposable incomes, and evolving lifestyle needs, the smart bedding market—including products such as smart mattresses and sleep-tracking technologies—is poised for significant expansion. The global market for smart mattresses alone is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.1%[1]. This growing interest in smart bedding is also evident at Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles.
Ms. Julie Zhu, Vice General Manager of DongLong Home Textile Co Ltd, highlighted this trend during the 2024 Spring Edition: “Domestic consumers are increasingly seeking specific features, such as tactile experience, scent sensitivity, and seasonal bedding functionality.” To cater to this demand, the 2025 edition of the fair will showcase smart bedding solutions with features like moisture control, temperature regulation, antimicrobial properties, and sound absorption, reinforcing their role in enhancing sleep quality and the overall consumer experience.
