Is there any point you want to add?

Ersen Firtina: Mattress industry grows both in Turkey and in the world. Furniture companies started to produce mattresses. Share of Turkey’s in the world is growing. Though the transport of the products is costly due to their sizes, we got many miles in this way. The industry renews itself and develops continuously. Most of the factories keep investing. Once they were producing a few number of variety, now they have up to 25 mattress models in their product portfolio. These are good. We wish to have more.
