Cushioning the future: Centuary unveils sofa line
MUMBAI: From snooze to sit-back, Centuary Mattresses is stretching its comfort credentials beyond the bedroom. India’s “Sleep Specialist” has now stepped into the living room with the launch of Centuary Sofas, unveiled in Hyderabad by brand ambassador and badminton ace PV Sindhu.
After three decades of perfecting mattresses and pillows, the company is re-engineering its foam science for seating. The new range spans loungers, singles, doubles, and three-seaters, promising what the brand calls “Smart inside, soft outside” durability and ergonomics wrapped in plush style.
“For over 30 years, we’ve been India’s trusted name in sleep comfort. Expanding into sofas is a natural progression,” said Centuary Sofas executive director Uttam Malani. “Sofas are central to family life, and we’re proud to bring the same trust and comfort into living rooms.”
Sindhu, who champions rest as much as performance, echoed the sentiment: “Just as Centuary mattresses have been about better sleep, these sofas will now be about better living.”
Crafted in India with certified foams, pine wood frames, and ergonomic designs, the sofas are available across Centuary’s retail network, exclusive stores, online platforms, and leading e-commerce sites.
Looks like Centuary isn’t just making India sleep better, it’s making the country sit prettier too.
