OMI Take Steps To Position Organic Line To Millennials

Furniture World News Desk on 10/23/2016


Organic Mattresses, Inc. (OMI) reports that it would be focusing more of its marketing resources on the 75 million millennials in the market for a mattress. The company is a manufacturer of certified organic mattresses under the Organicpedic™ and Organicpedic Earth™ brands.

“The millennial consumer is very aware of the benefits of organic products, and they place significant value on organic goods,” said Jeff Bader, CEO of OMI. “We only see this consumer group’s enthusiasm for organic products increasing, laying a foundation for a strong growth in all organic offerings, including mattresses and other sleep products.”

According to the latest survey conducted by the Organic Trade Association (OTA), more than half of organic consumers are millennials. Parents in the 18- to and 34-year-old age range are the largest group of organic buyers in the United States. That statistic gives OMI and its retail partners a powerful selling advantage.

Millennials lead both the Generation X and baby boomers in their penchant for buying organic with 52 percent opting for the organic choice. Thirty-five percent of Gen X parents buy organic, and only 14 percent of baby boomer parents choose organic.

Well-known for organic purity, OMI mattresses are uniquely positioned to speak to organically minded millennials looking for a healthier night’s sleep.

“The millennial consumer is keenly aware of the benefits that come along with organic food, clothing and home furnishings,” Bader said. “By broadening that awareness to include organic sleep products, OMI can deliver a uniquely healthy sleep message that resonates with millennials.”

More than $43 billion in organic products were sold in 2015, according OTA. Sales of non-food organic products, including mattresses and other bedding products, accounted for $3.6 billion in the overall sales of organic goods.

OMI offers a wealth of mattresses for children and adults. Organicpedic by OMI queen mattress range in price from $1,995 to $8,995. Youth mattresses are available in twin and twin-XL and retail from $995 to $1,095.
