Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Spring Edition to transform home comfort with smart bedding technologies

11 Feb 2025

Recent shifts in consumer attitudes in China show a willingness to invest more in quality and a growing emphasis on product functionality. This has been well noted by forward-thinking companies across the home textile supply chain. In addition to the latest related offerings in upholstery, towels, carpets, rugs, curtains and many more, smart bedding is set to emerge as a key trend at the upcoming Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Spring Edition. From 11 to 13 March 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, visitors can explore these trends and discover the latest innovations, alongside specialised pavilions and a diverse fringe programme centred on sustainability, and smart bedding aiding sleep quality.

Driven by global population growth, rising disposable incomes, and evolving lifestyles, the smart bedding market, encompassing products such as smart mattresses and sleep tracking technology, is projected for substantial growth. The global market for smart mattresses is expected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% [1], with innovative bedding also increasingly sought after at Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles.  

Exhibiting at the 2024 Spring Edition, Ms Julie Zhu, Vice General Manager of DongLong Home Textile Co Ltd, noted: “Domestic consumers are increasingly seeking specific features, such as tactile experience, scent sensitivity, and seasonal bedding functionality.” To meet this demand, this year’s show will prominently feature smart bedding solutions – with features such as moisture control, temperature regulation, antimicrobial properties, and sound absorption – through a variety of exhibits and fringe events, emphasising their role in enhancing sleep quality and overall consumer experience.
