A New Fibre Based Sleep Platform Signals Duroflex’s Push Beyond Traditional Mattresses

Sridhar Balakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer, Duroflex Limited, says the Airboost platform built with over one lakh adaptive fibres is designed to address pressure relief, airflow, and deep restorative sleep in Indian conditions

Duroflex has introduced Airboost™, a fibre based sleep technology platform that marks a shift in how mattresses are engineered and evaluated in India. Moving beyond traditional foam, coir, and spring constructions, Airboost is positioned as a material science driven response to long standing gaps in sleep comfort, thermal regulation, and postural support.
At the core of Airboost™ is an open matrix structure made up of more than one lakh independent micro adaptive fibres. These fibres respond dynamically to body weight and movement, allowing the mattress to contour locally to different pressure zones throughout the night. By continuously adjusting to posture changes, the platform aims to distribute pressure more evenly and reduce stress on the spine and joints.

Unlike closed cell materials that trap heat, Airboost™ is built around a three dimensional open air architecture that enables airflow from all directions. This design supports continuous heat dissipation away from the body, a factor increasingly recognised as critical to sleep quality in India’s hot and humid climate. Improved breathability and temperature regulation play a key role in sustaining uninterrupted sleep cycles.
Following comparative testing against multiple branded mattresses in India, Airboost™ has received exclusive approval from the National Health Authority for supporting spinal health. It has also been approved by the Indian Society for Sleep Research for enabling enhanced N3 sleep, commonly referred to as slow wave sleep. This stage of sleep is associated with physical recovery, tissue repair, immune strengthening, and overnight energy restoration.

The launch aligns with Duroflex’s Designed to De Stress philosophy, which applies sleep science to address unmet consumer needs across the sleep and comfort ecosystem. In India, demanding work schedules, lifestyle stress, and environmental factors continue to compromise sleep quality, making postural adaptation, temperature control, and restorative sleep increasingly important.
Speaking on the platform, Sridhar Balakrishnan, Chief Executive Officer of Duroflex Limited, said material innovation in the mattress category had not kept pace with evolving consumer expectations. He said Airboost™, developed as a Make in India technology, works with the body’s natural physiology rather than against it, reducing the effort required to regulate temperature, maintain posture, and re energise during sleep.

He added that with Duroflex’s new manufacturing facility in Hosur now fully operational, the company expects Airboost to find relevance among consumers seeking deeper and more restorative sleep outcomes.
Developed as part of Duroflex’s long term focus on sleep science and material innovation, Airboost™ reflects a broader shift toward rethinking how mattresses are built for modern lifestyles. As research continues to link sleep quality with long term health outcomes, materials that can measurably improve sleep architecture are expected to play a growing role in preventive health and wellbeing.

The Airboost™ range is available across multiple variants under the Duropedic portfolio, offering different comfort configurations and thickness options. The collection is available through Duroflex Experience Centers across India, select retail partners, and the company’s direct to consumer platform.
