Differences between Kurlon and Sleepwell
Kurlon vs. Sleepwell[edit]
Kurlon and Sleepwell are two of the most recognized mattress brands in India.[1] Both companies have a long history in the market and offer a wide range of sleep products. Kurlon, founded in 1962, initially established its reputation through the manufacturing of coir mattresses.[2][3] Sleepwell, the flagship brand of Sheela Foam Ltd., entered the market in 1994 and has focused on foam-based products and technological innovations.[4][5]
In 2023, Sheela Foam acquired a controlling stake in Kurlon Enterprises Ltd. This acquisition brought both major brands under one parent company, creating a combined entity with a significant share of the Indian mattress market. Despite the shared ownership, the brands continue to operate independently, maintaining their distinct product identities and market focus. Kurlon retains a strong presence in southern and eastern India, while Sleepwell has a dominant market share in the northern and western regions.

Product and Technology Focus[edit]
Kurlon's legacy is built on its pioneering use of coir, a natural fiber extracted from coconut husks, to create mattresses. Over[2] the years, it has incorporated other materials and technologies, such as its Kurlopedic system for spinal alignment and Motion Separation Index (MSI) technology in its spring mattresses to minimize disturbance. The[2] brand offers a wide variety of configurations across coir, foam, and spring models. [2] Sleepwell has concentrated on advancements in foam technology. The company utilizes various types of foam, including memory foam, high-resilience (HR) foam, and latex, to cater to different comfort preferences. Notable innovations include Neem Fresche technology, an anti-microbial treatment applied to its products, and specialized foams designed for pressure relief and temperature regulation. Sleepwell markets a broad range of products, from orthopedic mattresses to reversible dual-comfort models.
