What exactly is Airboost?
Airboost is Duroflex's proprietary open-matrix mattress technology made from over one lakh independently responsive fibres, designed to improve airflow, movement response, and postural support.
Trusted by athletes around the world, this sleep technology is brought to India for the first time by Duroflex.
Airboost is accredited by the Indian Society for Sleep Research (ISSR) and recommended by doctors at the National Health Academy (NHA).
What material are the fibres made from?
Airboost is made from food-grade, BPA-free polymer fibres called AirKnit fibres, which are interconnected to form an open-cell 3D matrix. This innovative structure is durable, moisture-resistant, and does not promote bacterial growth, helping create a cleaner and more hygienic sleep environment.
How are fibres arranged?
Instead of a solid foam slab, Airboost uses over one lakh precision-engineered fibres arranged into an interconnected open-cell 3D matrix. Each fibre acts as an independent shock absorber, adapting to your body for targeted support and pressure relief. These fibres expand and contract independently to eliminate pressure buildup and reduce micro-awakenings for uninterrupted, restorative sleep.
What does "independent" mean?
Independent means every AirKnit fibre reacts individually instead of depending on neighbouring fibres.
When pressure is applied:
- Only the fibres directly beneath that area compress.
- Surrounding fibres remain largely unaffected.
- Support is delivered exactly where the body needs it.
This creates highly localised pressure adaptation rather than the broad compression seen in traditional foam.
How does the structure respond under load?
When a person lies down, each fibre compresses according to the amount of pressure applied.
Heavier regions such as the hips and shoulders engage more fibres, while lighter regions require less compression. As body position changes during sleep, the fibres immediately recover and adapt to the new pressure points.
- Proper spinal alignment
- Even pressure distribution
- Minimal sinking
- Instant recovery after movement
How is airflow measured?
Airflow is measured by how easily air passes through the mattress material.
In this demonstration, you can see three airflow units filled with thermocol balls. Before any material is placed inside the unit, the balls move freely, showing the unrestricted airflow. Once the materials are inserted - foam, grid, and Airboost - the difference becomes clear.
The foam completely restricts airflow, causing the balls to stop moving. With the grid material, only a few balls continue to move, indicating limited airflow. However, with the Airboost layer, the balls continue to move freely, demonstrating continuous airflow and superior breathability. This clearly shows that Airboost promotes continuous airflow and is up to 3X more breathable than traditional mattresses.
How is rebound measured?
Rebound measures how quickly the mattress returns to its original shape after pressure is removed.
A faster, controlled rebound means the mattress responds instantly to your movements while continuing to support your body.
In this demonstration, we're dropping a steel ball from a fixed height onto three different mattress materials: foam, grid, and Airboost.
As a general principle, a higher bounce indicates greater resilience and faster energy return.
As you can see, the steel ball bounces the highest and rebounds the fastest on the Airboost AirKnit material. In comparison, the foam shows a lower rebound, while the grid material has the least bounce, indicating slower recovery. This demonstrates that Airboost delivers maximum rebound, helping conserve energy by returning more of the force instead of absorbing it.
How does it compare with foam, coir, springs and polymer grids?
| Feature | Airboost | Grid | Coir | Rebonded Foam |
| Postural Alignment | 1 Lakh+ support points | NA | NA | NA |
| Airflow and heat dissipation | 3X more breathable | Moderate | Less | NA |
| Never sink-in | Max rebound | Medium | Low | NA |
| Ease of movement | Very high | Moderate | Restricted | Moderate |
| Moisture repellent | Yes | No | Absorbs | Absorbs |
