A mattress manufacturer in Turkey can supply spring and foam mattresses to retailers and importers in the Gulf, Iraq, Europe, the UK and Canada, usually in the same shipment as bed bases and sofas. The one market this guide rules out is the United States: mattresses from Türkiye are under a US antidumping duty order that was reviewed and kept in force in 2026. For every other market, the questions that matter are construction, size standard and the import rule that applies to mattresses in your country.
This guide is written by ellda mobilya, a furniture manufacturer in Kayseri, Türkiye, producing sofa sets, corner sofas, bed base sets and mattresses since 2010. Mattresses are one of our four product groups, so we see the same buyer questions in every enquiry: what is inside the mattress, which heights and surfaces to stock, whether the sizes fit, and what the importing country requires. The answers below are from our catalogue, from official sources, or marked as something to confirm in the quote.
Which markets can import mattresses from Turkey?
Last verified: 31 October 2026. Import rules change; confirm the current position with your customs broker before you order.
| Market | What applies to mattresses | What to do before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Antidumping duty order on mattresses from Türkiye since May 2021; Commerce found in July 2026 that revoking it would lead to continued dumping, and the USITC voted in October 2026 to keep the orders in place | We do not quote mattresses for the US. Sofas and bed bases are a different product; see our US import guide |
| Canada | No antidumping order on Turkish mattresses; mattresses must meet the Mattresses Regulations (SOR/2016-183) under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, a cigarette ignition test | State "Canada" in the enquiry so the requirement is confirmed per model; see the Canada guide |
| United Kingdom | The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 cover mattresses and bed bases; the industry standard used to show compliance is BS 7177 | State "UK" in the enquiry; what we can provide per model and cover fabric is confirmed in the quote |
| European Union | No EU-wide mattress flammability law; the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) makes the importer responsible for safety, traceability and a responsible person | Agree labels and documents in the quote; see the general import guide |
| Saudi Arabia and GCC | Regulated products need a conformity certificate in the SABER platform per shipment; whether your mattress HS code is regulated is checked in SABER | Ask your clearing agent to check the HS code before you order |
Sources for each line are listed at the end of this guide. The pattern is the same everywhere: the requirement belongs to your market, and the manufacturer needs to know it before production, not after.
Why the US is excluded
The US Department of Commerce placed antidumping duty orders on mattresses from Türkiye and several other countries in May 2021. In 2026 the orders went through their first five-year review. Commerce published its final results on 31 July 2026 and found that revoking the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, with a margin of 20.03% for Türkiye. The US International Trade Commission then voted in October 2026 that revocation would be likely to lead to continued or recurring injury, so the order stays in force.
For an importer that means a Turkish mattress entering the US carries the normal duty plus the antidumping duty, and cash deposits at entry. It does not make the product illegal, but it removes the price logic for most retail programmes. Bed bases without a mattress are a different product, and sofas are outside the order altogether; ask your customs broker to confirm the scope for your exact shipment.
What a buyer should ask about mattress construction
A mattress is a core, one or more comfort layers and a cover. Those three parts decide the feel, the height, the weight and the price. A manufacturer should be able to answer these questions for every model you shortlist:
- Core: pocket springs (each spring in its own fabric pocket), a continuous or bonnell spring unit, or a foam block. The core sets the support and most of the weight.
- Comfort layers: the foam, fibre or padding layers above the core. More layers mean more height and a softer first impression.
- Surface: a pillow-top is an extra padded layer sewn on top; a quilted surface stitches the padding into the cover; a knitted surface is a smooth stretch fabric. The surface is what the customer sees and touches in the store.
- Height: the thickness from the bottom to the top surface. It drives the look on the base, the sheet pocket depth and the carton size.
- Sides and handles: the border fabric, the tape edge and whether the mattress is one-sided or can be turned.
Ask for these per model in writing and compare models on the same terms. Specifications that a manufacturer does not list in its catalogue, such as foam density or wire gauge, should be requested and confirmed in the quote rather than assumed.
What is in our mattress catalogue
Our 2025 bedding catalogue lists 18 mattresses plus a mattress topper. Heights run from 24 cm to 37 cm, and the topper is 10 cm. The catalogue prints five labels for the range: orthopaedic, soft foam, 7 comfort zones, antibacterial and Herculen springs. These are the catalogue's own feature labels; "orthopaedic" is a product label, not a medical claim, and we do not promise health outcomes.
| Height | Models |
|---|---|
| 24 to 26 cm | Rüya (24), Safir (25), Alaska (26) |
| 28 cm | Bugatti, Mışıl |
| 30 cm | Platin, Asperos, Okyanus, Erciyes, Pelush |
| 32 cm | Nova, Aspendos, Dafne |
| 35 to 37 cm | Nirvana (35), Pegasus (35), Relax (37) |
| 10 cm | Ped (topper) |
Heights are catalogue figures; small differences between production batches are possible. The surfaces vary across the range: the Relax and Nirvana have pillow-top surfaces, the Platin and Erciyes have quilted surfaces, and the Rüya has a knitted pillow-top. The full list with photographs is on the mattresses page.
A practical way to read the table is by store position. The 24 to 28 cm models are the entry and mid heights that fit standard fitted sheets. The 30 to 32 cm models are the volume sellers in most ranges. The 35 to 37 cm models are the top of the range, where the pillow-top and the height carry the display.
Sizes: match the base first, then the market
Our bed bases are made for three mattress sizes: 160 × 200 cm, 180 × 200 cm and 90 × 200 cm. These follow Turkish bedding sizes and are not the same as UK, North American or every GCC size. A mattress must match the base it sits on exactly, so decide early whether you will sell our mattresses on our bases, on bases you already stock, or both.
Before you add mattresses to an enquiry:
- List the mattress sizes your customers buy, in centimetres.
- Check them against the base sizes in the bed base guide.
- If you need a size that is not in the catalogue, ask for it per model; whether it is possible is confirmed in the quote.
- Check the total bed height (base plus mattress) against what your market expects.
Shipping mattresses from Turkey
Mattresses are volume cargo. In a container they usually travel alongside bed bases and seating, and the loading plan decides how much of the container's volume is used. Mattresses, bed base sets, sofa sets and corner sofas can be combined in one shipment from our factory, and the loading plan is shared with the quote. Our guide to mixed container shipping explains how to plan a load across product groups.
How each mattress is packed for export, and whether a compressed or rolled format is possible for a given model, is a question to ask in the enquiry. Packing affects the carton size, the number of pieces per container and the condition on arrival, so get it in writing with the quote.

- Model names as printed in the catalogue, with the height of each
- Size per model, in centimetres, and the size standard in your market
- Quantities per model and size
- Whether the mattresses go on our bed bases or on bases you already sell
- Surface preference (pillow-top, quilted, knitted) if you want alternatives
- Destination country and port, preferred delivery terms and target date
- Your market's requirement for mattresses (Canada SOR/2016-183, UK FFR and BS 7177, GCC SABER, EU GPSR), so it is confirmed in the quote
- Whether bed bases, sofas or corner sofas travel in the same shipment
How ellda handles mattress orders
We produce mattresses in our 10,500 m² factory in Kayseri Organized Industrial Zone, alongside the bed bases they are sold with. Every order follows the same steps shown on our production page: quote and approval, production plan, preparation, upholstery and sewing, quality control of dimensions, stitching, surfaces and mechanisms, then packing and shipping.
Price, minimum quantities, lead time, delivery terms and market-specific requirements are stated in the quote, not in a price list, because they depend on the models, sizes, covers and destination. Our sales team works in English, Arabic and Turkish, and buyers can visit the factory by appointment.
Next step
Shortlist mattress models by height and surface, decide which bases they will sit on, name your market's requirement, and send the list through our wholesale page. Export buyers outside the US can also use the export page; UK retailers should read the divan bed guide first.
