After donating 221 high-end Pocketed Spring mattresses to help frontline health workers taking care of Covid-19 patients to de-stress with naps amid their hectic schedules at the government hospitals in Telangana, Centuary Mattresses and its sister company Shree Malani Foams are continuing their community development initiatives in and around Hyderabad.

Their parent Shree Malani Group, a 30-year-old leader in the comfort and bedding industry, has undertaken several development programmes to support the communities in which it operates, working towards benefitting society and ensuring better facilities for them.

“We have a strong corporate philosophy and are privileged to help empower different communities,” says group chairman Purushottam Malani. “Our projects aim to support the core areas of education and community development. With set goals to give back to society, we have undertaken different initiatives, whether it is providing digital facilities for children or empowering women, or supporting the medical fraternity during these trying times.”

The mattresses, supplied to hospitals according to the requirements shared by the state government, are in acknowledgment of their sacrifice and efforts in making this country a safer place to live in, and hoping to reduce their stress and give them comfortable rest. The medical community has been under immense and constant stress since the onset of the pandemic in India and these professionals are hit with extended work hours and long, tiring schedules, Malani points out.
