What does “hardness” mean in polyurethane foam?

Firmness is the foam’s ability to resist pressure. It is calculated by determining how much force is needed to compress the foam to 25% of its original thickness.

• High firmness: Offers greater firmness and “bounce.”
• Low firmness: Provides a soft, “cushioned” feel.

Why is it important to choose the right one?

Specific comfort: A mattress needs a high-firmness base for support, but a low-firmness top layer for comfort.

Durability: Foam with the wrong firmness for its application will wear out faster, losing its shape within a few months.

Industrial applications: The firmness required for the backrest of an office chair is not the same as that required for a bus seat.
