INDULGE Coway Berex

The INDULGE Coway Berex is a collaborative initiative between TGV Cinemas and Coway, launched on 14 November 2024 at the TGV Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is the first cinema in the country to feature smart mattresses, integrating wellness technology into the movie-going experience.

The cinema is equipped with Coway Berex smart mattresses that allow guests to adjust firmness and posture settings according to their personal preferences. The mattresses also feature muscle relief and stretching functions, introducing a therapeutic element to the experience. This approach combines customizable comfort with health-oriented technology, marking a significant innovation in Malaysia's cinema industry.

The bedpods were specially designed to provide optimal viewing angles and dining comfort while maintaining a sense of privacy for each guest. The cinema also features Dolby Atmos sound and laser projection systems.

At the launch event, TGV Cinemas CEO Tan Lay Han noted the significance of the partnership, describing it as a milestone in the company's efforts to deliver enhanced cinema experiences.

Tickets for the INDULGE Coway Berex experience are included with a meal, drink, and dessert. Following its debut at Suria KLCC, TGV Cinemas plans to expand the offering to other INDULGE Coway Berex locations, including Pavilion Bukit Jalil, Sunway Velocity, and 1 Utama.
