COSTA MESA, Calif.: 30 Oct. 2019 — Mattress customer satisfaction is up significantly this year as many new direct-to-consumer retailers offering “bed-in-a-box” style mattresses have entered a market that previously had been dominated by brick-and-mortar retail. According to the J.D. Power 2019 Mattress Satisfaction Report,SM released today, overall customer satisfaction with mattresses is up 8 points (on a 1,000-point scale) from 2018, with improvement seen in all factors.
