India’s first sleep solutions expo to debut in Mumbai

MUMBAI: India’s sleep economy is about to get a jolt. World of Sleep, billed as the country’s first consumer-led platform dedicated to personalised sleep solutions, will make its debut in Mumbai next year. The event, which aims to put the spotlight on sleep as a pillar of overall health, will run from 27 to 29 March 2026 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre. The World Health Organisation has called poor sleep a global health pandemic, underscoring its central role in human well-being. With sleep deficits rising across India, World of Sleep seeks to help consumers understand and improve every aspect of their nightly rest, from medical conditions and lifestyle habits to mattresses, pillows and bedroom environments. The exhibition will pull together sleep essentials, sleep science, sleep technology, wellness, design and brands under one roof. Visitors will be able to try live demonstrations of mattresses, pillows, bedding, smart lighting and cooling solutions; attend workshops on the link between sleep and heart and brain health; and explore innovations including sleeping pods, circadian lighting systems, sound therapy and tech-driven diagnostic tools. Wellness zones will offer digital detox, meditation, yoga and breathwork sessions, while curated spaces will present holistic solutions spanning sleep furniture, environment optimisation and specialist health services. Managing director of World of Sleep Arun Roongta said sleep remains deeply personal and often neglected, which is why the platform aims to help people explore and understand it more fully for healthier living. World of Sleep is conceptualised by Texzone, organisers of HGH India, which brings decades of industry experience in textiles, fashion, home and lifestyle to this new foray into the wellness sector. The initiative marks a strategic push into India’s fast-growing sleep market. As hyperconnected lifestyles blur the line between day and night, World of Sleep hopes to spark a national rethink. With science, design and cutting-edge technology converging in one space, the platform looks set to shake India awake to the benefits of better, deeper, smarter sleep.
