Description
Seat foam is incredibly versatile and is known for its resistance to wear and tear, making it a popular choice for sofas and armchairs in busy households. What type of foam is used for seats? Foam grades are a critical aspect of understanding and choosing the right foam material for various applications. These grades are used to classify foam based on its density, firmness, and overall quality. Foam density is measured in pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). The higher the density, the more durable and supportive the foam is likely to be. Seat foam is also known as upholstery foam, and is an open cell polyurethane foam. Most seat foams are of a medium to high density to ensure adequate support, although softer foams are also available. Softer foams are usually used in children’s seats, like mini arm chairs.
The density is determined by weighing one cubic foot (12” x 12” x 12”) of the foam grade and performing the previously mentioned calculation. Think of your mattress like a sports car. If it has an amazing engine but sub-standard tyres and an unprofessional driver … it’s not going to win the race. Well, mattress density is the same thing. It’s just one factor. When selecting foam, aspects such as outdoor or indoor foam, the proper use, and fire retardancy regulations are important. But to choose the right foam for the right task you need to understand more about the numbers. And often these numbers are what you rarely see or get told. You can usually see firmness in action yourself simply by lying on a few different beds in the bed store. And you don’t need a machine to test it for yourself – just to get a rough idea.To calculate the density of a piece of foam you must divide the weight of a piece by what the length, width, and height multiplies to. The calculation would look like this – Weight ÷ Width x Height x Length = Density. There are quite a few other reasons besides being new to foam rolling where you might opt for a lower density. You might have body parts that you’ve never rolled before or muscles that are sensitive because they are already sore from your last training session.
Our upholstery foam has also been used in the TV and Film industry on occasion! Fun fact – the upholstery foam used in Captain Kirk’s chair for the 2009 Star Trek movie was supplied by us. Another famous chairs which we’ve supplied upholstery foam for is the Big Brother diary room chair. Let’s begin by breaking down the different types of foam rollers into categories. Then we’ll go over each in detail in its own section. The Different Kinds of Foam Rollers Because of this, we at Foam Factory wanted to present a guide to help you better understand the range of density values as they apply to conventional open-cell foam, making it much easier for you to make decisions based off your own understanding.High-density foam typically has a density of 2.5 lb/ft³ (40 kg/m³) or higher. This density level allows it to withstand regular use without losing its shape or becoming excessively compressed.
