Duroflex has donated up to 2000 mattresses till date and will continue to supply based on demand and requirements. In addition to helping our frontline workforce, under Duroflex Cares initiative, the brand’s social channels have also become a source of information on sleep, conversations on mental health, nutrition and wellness.
