ISPA EXPO 2026, the world's largest trade show exclusively for the sleep products industry, brought together mattress manufacturers, sleep technology innovators, and industry leaders from around the globe at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, from March 10 to 12, 2026.
What We Brought to Orlando
This year, Variowell arrived in Orlando with a clear mission: to show the industry where sleep technology is heading. Three innovations took centre stage at our booth.
The Body Heat Meter is our interactive POS tool that lets visitors measure their personal heat type on the spot and receive instant, personalised insights. It turned out to be a real crowd-pleaser and a fun way to make the science of sleep comfort feel tangible.
Fusion is our new hybrid material combining the best of pocket springs and foam into one seamless solution, offering the support and responsiveness that modern sleepers need.The Kikoo 3D Spacer features breathable layers engineered to improve airflow, reflecting our ongoing commitment to active temperature regulation in sleep products.
A Meaningful Moment with the National Sleep Foundation
ISPA EXPO 2026 coincided with Sleep Awareness Week® (March 8–14), which made it an especially fitting setting for one of the highlights of our show. Our friends from the National Sleep Foundation, John Lopos and Dr. Joseph Dzierzewski, took the opportunity at our booth to introduce SleepMark™ to the wider mattress industry. SleepMark™ is NSF's science-backed designation that helps consumers identify sleep products meeting rigorous, evidence-based standards. As a member of the NSF SleepTech® Network, we were glad to be part of that moment.
None of this would have been possible without the people on the ground. Tobias Kirchhoff and Daniela Kooijman were in Orlando alongside Maria Terlutter, Altania Vega Montoya, and Safin Chowdhury - a team that brought genuine passion to every conversation and made the whole experience one to remember.
ISPA EXPO 2026 reinforced something we already believe deeply: Sleep technology is one of the most exciting spaces in the global industry right now. We return from Orlando with new connections, fresh ideas, and plenty of motivation to keep pushing forward.
