Initially, the perception within India was that a hard mattress is right for the back. However, the reality is that a mattress should have the correct shape to provide comfort. At present, life has become full of stresses, and the sleep of a person is getting less so to make them sleep better, choosing a pain-free and comfortable mattress is a boon for them. Mattress market in India used to be dominated widely by the unorganized market for years because of the presence of a large number of local manufacturers. It is estimated that over hundreds of regional brands operate here, offering rock bottom prices compensated by modest quality. There are few national players, but the market of these organized players is not even half than that of unorganized sector. Mattresses from these players are priced very cheap as compared to branded ones who act better in the interest of Indian consumers. However, lack of quality and less number of options along with clear information about the material used are inducing consumers to switch towards branded products. Today, Indian consumers even prefer buying from international brands whenever they think of high quality and contemporary product._x000D_
