Quick answer
ASEAN mattress plants in Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia produce pocket-spring, bonnell and all-foam mattresses for retail and hospitality. Typical MOQ is 200-500 pieces per model, FOB USD 45-190 per queen unit, and lead time is 45-70 days. Roll-packed foam models cut freight per unit by 55-65% versus flat-packed spring units.

FAQ
Is roll-packing safe for spring mattresses?
Only pocket-spring units designed for compression. Bonnell units should ship flat to avoid coil deformation.
How long can a mattress stay compressed?
Keep total compressed time under 60 days from packing to unboxing, so plan sailing schedules accordingly.
Do I need flammability testing for every model?
Yes, per prototype construction for the US and UK. Changing the cover or fire barrier requires re-testing.
