Kurlon is into the business of pure comfort.A head start in the business in 1962 by Late.Shri.T.Ramesh U.Pai, it is now looking into an extensive brand extension and a complete makeover from sleep comfort, to home comfort. Kurlon Limited, a manipal Group Company came into existence in 1962.The Company was then called ‘Karnataka Consumer Products Ltd’ and on the 8th of December, 1995 the company wa
s renamed as Kurlon Limited.

Mr.Pai is on the boards of several well-known industrial, commercial and educational enterprises. Kurlon was conceived when Mr.Pai was in Germany in 1999. He found that car seat cushions were manufactured of rubberized coir. The manufacturer was improving curled coir from Sri Lanka. In India, the coir industry has developed very well, mostly in Kerala where they produce ‘Retted Fiber’. Green husks of coconut are immersed in the salty backwards for 10 to 12 months and the retted husk is supplied to various homes to make Mats and Matting rolls after producing the yam from this fibre.This has created employment to many women in the state. Austrian technology was available to extract fiber from the dried coconut husk and curl it into ropes and keep it in that state for minimum 3 months. When uncurled, curled coir becomes tiny springs. The cars manufactured in India in 60s were very few in numbers. It was uneconomical to start the molded product out of the rubberized coir to manufacture car seat cushions.Afer a lot of experiments and quality control steps, Mr.Ramesh Pai thought of entering into Rubberized coir mattress manufacturing. Thus Kurlon was born, become one of the popular mattresses providing restful sleep to Indian consumers.
