HS Code for Hybrid mattress

Hybrid mattresses, which typically combine an innerspring system with layers of memory foam, latex, or gel, are classified under HS code 9404.29. Chapter 94 covers furniture and bedding, and heading 9404 specifically includes mattress supports and articles of bedding. Within this heading, mattresses are subdivided by material. Subheading 9404.21 is for cellular rubber or plastics, while 9404.29 is the residual category for mattresses made of "other materials." Because a hybrid mattress contains both metal springs and various padding materials, it does not consist solely of cellular plastics. Therefore, following the General Rules of Interpretation, it is classified under 9404.29 as a mattress of other materials. This classification ensures that multi-component bedding products are distinguished from simple foam slabs.

Products Included

• Innerspring mattresses with memory foam tops
• Pocketed coil mattresses with latex layers

• Pillow-top spring mattresses
• Multi-layer hybrid mattresses in a box

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is 9404.21, which applies to mattresses made of cellular rubber or plastics (like pure memory foam or latex mattresses). If a mattress contains a spring core, it cannot be classified under 9404.21. Another error is using 9404.10, which is for mattress supports (like box springs) rather than the mattress itself. Hybrid mattresses must be classified under 9404.29 due to their composite construction.
