## Direct Answer

Choose ready stock when confirmed available products meet the market, timing and packing need. Choose OEM when construction, dimensions, material, branding or repeat-order control must follow a buyer specification. Confirm current stock, MOQ, sample scope and timing before deciding.

## Comparison

| Decision | Ready stock | OEM bedding |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Product choice | Confirmed available styles, sizes and colours | Buyer brief plus factory review and approved sample |
| Specification | Confirm SKU, contents, dimensions, condition and packing | Develop material, construction, dimensions, labels and packing |
| Sampling | Review representative stock and approved pack changes | Approve product, fit, colour, artwork and packing |
| Timing | Usually shorter after stock and packing confirmation | Includes specification, sample, material and production stages |
| Branding | Limited changes may be possible after review | Labels, inserts, barcode, bags, boxes and cartons can be coordinated |
| Repeat orders | Depends on available or replenished stock | Uses approved specification and references, subject to material review |
