ISPA 2026: What We Saw, Heard & Loved

March 20, 2026

The SSA was in the mix at the 2026 ISPA Expo! Executive Director Tambra Jones connected with exhibitors, members, and industry friends to capture real-time insights from the show floor. A big thank you to everyone who shared their perspectives—here’s a look at what stood out.

Jason Goodman joined Tambra at the official ISPA Photo Op booth.

Todd Youngblood exhibited with Geli Sleep and had a great show!

Lots to see and talk about!

According to Jason Goodman, Prana Sleep’s manufacturing goal is “to build the best bed we can the most natural way possible.” To that end he was on the hunt for new natural ticking fibers, foams and pocketed coils.

Leggett & Platt showed off a beautifully designed exhibit – it was SERIOUSLY next level!!

Lucas Tyson had a booth for his CELLIANT brand – educating attendees about the benefits of infa-red technology. Interesrting!!

ISPA’s Dynamic Duo – Kerri Bellias and Mary Helen Rogers – were everywhere on the show floor – even giving snuggles to the MidWest mascot.

Tambra got to snuggle the REAL alpaca mascot – he was so soft!

The SABA crew posed with one of the spectacular image structures composing their space. They even had a putting green!

Naturepedic’s Charlie Bier and Jason Cik were shopping for machinery.

SSA Chairman Pascal Roberge was a busy guy in the Beoudoin booth. He said he talked to a plethora of international shoppers.

Tim McCree was in the house! Here are Tim and the Wm T Burnett crew in their revamped exhibit. We appreciate their support in the SSA!

Justin Duong and Greg Fowler from MOTV8 Products & Services (we know them as Monarch Sleep in the SSA showroom) had meetings all around the show floor.

Timothy Masters and Alex Waterman from Quality Sleep Shop (we know them as My Green Mattress in the SSA showroom) were shopping for their brand.

Larry Wolfe and Shawn Medlock from Sleep EZ were talking to their suppliers and shopping for new ones.

Suzanne Diamond and Christopher Bechtol from The Futon Shop are always at ISPA looking for what’s new.

Chuy Castillas, Jeremy Solis and Jerry White from Custom Comfort Mattress Co. stopped for a picture as they made their way around the expo floor.

Always the best dressed whether in their own exhibits at ISPA or when they walk through the SSA showroom – Ben Ducatteeuw and Caroline Reeves show off the day’s ensemble.
