Furniture Foam |
Furniture foam is a flexible foam that's used as padding in
furniture. Furniture foam offers both aesthetic and functional benefits to
manufacture residential and commercial furniture products such as sofas,
chairs, recliners etc. Properties such as firmness, density, compression
module, resilience, and flex fatigue decides the type of foam used to
manufacture/develop upholstery that provides proper comfort. Moreover,
furniture foam, such as flexible polyurethane foam, makes furniture more
durable and comfortable.
One of the most common uses of foam is used to create
mattresses and mattress toppers. Since foam can be made to achieve nearly any
desired firmness, it is often used to make mattresses and toppers to meet the
diverse needs of consumers. Polyurethane foam is the most common type of furniture
foam used for sofas, and is also used as toppers for mattresses. Polyurethane
foam is divided into two basic types; open-cell and closed-cell. Open cell foam
has small cells that are not completely sealed and allow air to fill the space
or take on water if soaked.
This means the foam can be easily compressed and then
naturally recover back to its original shape. Flexible polyurethane foam is
used as cushioning for a variety of consumer/commercial products, including furniture.
Flexible foam can be created in almost any variety of shapes and firmness. It
is light, durable, comfortable, and supportive. It provides unparalleled ease
of use, comfort, affordability, and durability. It is characterized by a
cellular structure that allows for some degree of compression and resilience
that provides a cushioning effect.
Different types of furniture foams are used for indoor,
outdoor, and marine furniture. Multiple types of upholstery foam can be used in
a single piece of furniture. Thus, there is an increasing demand for furniture
foam. More than 1.5 billion pounds of flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) are produced
in North America each year. The Polyurethane Foam Association represents FPF
manufacturers and suppliers to the industry.
