SleepTech September - October 2018

Demand is always high because
food ranks at top and accommodation
ranks at second place in
the necessity of basic needs.
Sleep products and mattresses
are important classes in accommodation.
Turkey has a young
and dynamic population. Including
the years of crisis, Turkish
economy has grown continuously
by 5 to 10 percent annually.
Economy is still growing and we,
as our company, try to get more
or maintain our share. We want
to export more.
How important is the foam in
mattress?
Comfort comes forth in foams.
Although several other materials
are used as stuffing materials in
mattresses, foam is indispensable.
When compared to latex
and visco elastic material prices,
our production, conventional
foams, are highly advantageous
and free from other problems of
latex such as bad odor. Comfort
is a determining factor at this
point. We mostly advice the
use of high density foams in the
production however, economic
considerations and conditions in
the market determine the choice
of customers. Our country is in
dire need for exports. We see
the importance of industry once
again. We can only earn foreign
currency by exporting, by selling
what we have produced to
foreign countries. I consider that
the mattress industry and its
supplier industries are in a good
position and have great potential
for further development in
the future.
