Its industry focuses on home and office furnishings, including mattresses, seating systems, and related hardware. The cyclical nature of this sector means demand can fluctuate with economic conditions, but Leggett & Platt's diversified product portfolio across bedding, automotive, furniture, and flooring helps mitigate some of that volatility.
