US EditionTariffs have already made mattresses, strollers and power tools more expensive
- Several American companies raised prices on mattresses, strollers, power tools, and other products in early 2025 due to tariffs affecting imports from China and elsewhere.
- These increases follow a 10% universal tariff on all U.S. Imports and higher levies up to 30% on many Chinese goods, despite a recent temporary tariff reduction.
- Notable price hikes include a 6% mattress increase by Avocado Green Mattresses, 7% to 22% rises on Yeti products, 15% on Therabody massage guns, and May 5 price raises by UPPAbaby on baby products.
