Foam Cushions
Cushion foam is any foam used for cushioning. Uses for foam cushions not only include furniture applications but padding for carpet or athletic purposes as well. Foam, a lightweight, versatile, polymer-based material that is filled with countless little bubbles, has an appearance similar to a sponge.
Foam cushions can be made from several different types of foam, with the most popular form being polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam, a low compression set foam, is designed to perform a variety of specially engineered cushioning functions as well as other functions including gasketing, sealing, and positioning. Polyether foam is a type of polyurethane foam that is low-cost and provides good cushioning, acoustics and packaging properties. Bonded foam, on the other hand, is a functional product created by gluing flexible polyurethane particles or shredded flexible polyurethane foam together. The foam block that results is typically peeled into a desired thickness and is most commonly used as carpet cushioning.
