Duroflex, one of India’s leading sleep and comfort solutions brands, has introduced the Airboost™ Series, a sleep science-led material innovation for the Indian mattress category. The proprietary Airboost™ material features an open matrix fibre structure offering 3X breathability, presenting a new direction in sleep technology beyond traditional foam density, coir firmness and spring counts.
Built with 1 lakh+ independent micro-support points, Airboost™ adapts hyper-locally to the human body, continuously contouring to body shape and movement during sleep. This structure supports even pressure distribution while its 3D open-air design enables airflow from all directions, aiding heat dissipation. Temperature regulation remains a critical factor for sleep quality in India’s hot and humid climate.
After testing various branded mattresses in India, Duroflex Airboost™ has been exclusively approved by the National Health Authority (NHA) for its ability to support spinal health and the Indian Society for Sleep Research (ISSR) for enabling enhanced N3 sleep, also known as Slow Wave Sleep, the stage linked to physical recovery, tissue repair and immune strengthening. The innovation aligns with Duroflex’s Designed to De-Stress philosophy, applying sleep science to address unmet consumer needs.
In India, demanding work schedules, rising lifestyle stress and environmental factors such as heat and humidity continue to affect sleep quality. Postural adaptation, temperature regulation and overnight recovery are essential for restorative sleep. Airboost™ is engineered to address these core requirements simultaneously in ways conventional mattress constructions struggle to deliver.
Speaking on the launch, Sridhar Balakrishnan, CEO, Duroflex Limited said,
“For six decades, Duroflex has been guided by a consumer-first principle, creating solutions that address real problems. We are the makers of Duropedic®, the first ever mattress approved by doctors at NHA and trusted by elite athletes like Virat Kohli, Neuma – India’s first firmness adjustable mattress, and Wave Kinect, a smart bed compatible mattress.”
He added,
“Sleep is one of the most important health investments, yet material innovation in the mattress segment was long overdue. Airboost™, our Make-In-India technology, disrupts traditional foam-and-coir approaches with over 1 lakh Airknit fibres by working with the body’s natural physiology. It reduces effort in regulating temperature, maintaining posture, and re-energising during the night. Every fibre, every design choice, is aimed at helping the body truly de-stress and wake up feeling restored. With our new, one-of-its-kind manufacturing facility in Hosur now fully operational, we are confident Airboost will find relevance with Indian consumers seeking deeper, more restorative sleep.”
Developed as part of Duroflex’s long-term focus on sleep science and material innovation, Airboost™ signals a broader shift in mattress engineering for modern lifestyles. As research continues to link sleep quality with long-term health outcomes, materials designed to improve sleep architecture are gaining greater importance.
The Airboost™ range is available in multiple variants under the Duropedic portfolio, with varied comfort configurations and thickness options. The collection is available through Duroflex Experience Centres across India, select retail channels and online.
