Arpico, the longstanding frontrunner in Sri Lanka’s mattress industry, recently revealed Arpico NextGen, its pioneering new mattress design with air cooling pocket technology. Marking a first-of-its-kind innovation in the local market, this milestone was celebrated on 13 June 2025 at the Ramada by Wyndham, Colombo.

Unveiled by Mr. Lalith Wijeyesinghe, the Managing Director of the Local Manufacturing and Distribution Sector of Richard Pieris & Company PLC, Arpico NextGen represents Arpico’s continued commitment to crafting trailblazing sleep solutions for the community. With the debut of their new mattress, Arpico not only demonstrates its ongoing mission to provide the conditions for exemplary sleep but reaffirms it with a promise of progressive innovation.

The new mattress’s inclusion of profile-cut air-cooling pocket technology, built using state-of-the-art German Computer Numerical Control (CNC) foam cutting technology, works to elevate and amplify the inherent cooling and refreshing structures of the mattress, effectively enhancing sleep quality. Recognizing the importance of proper sleep, the reliable cutting-edge technology of Arpico NextGen aims to optimize rest; allowing sleepers to wake rejuvenated and energetically seize the day upon waking.
