Spring Air, USA's leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows worldwide, announced its investment plan of INR 500 crore into the 3,000 crore Spring and Premium Mattress Indian market in the capital.

Also, all collections including Europedic, Comfort Rest & Orthomedical have been developed through extensive research and a deep understanding of what Indian consumers want most in a mattress - luxury and support, without the problems they experience with traditional coir or cotton mattresses, "he added".

Credited with the most unique products in the orthopedic mattress portfolio and backed with the most celebrated technology compositions like the NASA embedded technology in Europedic range of mattress; the multi-crore investment in India, is intended to reach out to the niche customers of the fast pacing Indian society. Also, the Company aims to be the market leader in Spring and Premium Mattress segment thereby achieving business of more than 300 crores in the next 3 years.
