How the sales estimates for the Top 25 were developed
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, July 31, 2005
High Point — This exclusive survey ranks the Top 25 U.S. bedding retailers based on estimated 2004 sales of conventional mattresses and boxsprings, as well as foam bedding, futons, airbeds, adjustable beds and waterbeds.
Figures do not include sales of headboards, frames, mattress pads, pillows and other related products.
All sales figures, except those of publicly held companies that break out bedding sales as a separate line of business, are Furniture/Today market research estimates. Data is based on the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2004.
Sales estimates were derived from a variety of sources, including the recently published ranking of the Top 100 Furniture Stores, the companies themselves, discussions with industry suppliers and analysts and public company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In cases of identical 2003 sales, the retailer with the fastest sales growth is ranked higher. For comparison purposes, 2003 bedding sales for America's Mattress have been assumed flat.
The ranking was compiled by Executive Editor David Perry, Senior Research Specialist Dana French and Research Specialist Diane Hoth, with assistance from Database Coordinator Cynthia Myers.
