Foam Selection Advisory
Choosing the right polyurethane foam isn't about picking from a catalogue — it's about matching density, hardness, certifications, and supplier capability to your specific product. PolymersIQ helps product brands, OEMs and procurement teams get this right the first time.
We advise across the full range of foam applications: bedding and mattress, furniture and upholstery, automotive seating, automotive trim and acoustic, medical and healthcare, protective packaging, sports and leisure, industrial and filtration, footwear, and acoustic sound absorption.
Each application has its own technical considerations — density and ILD for comfort products, biocompatibility and washability for medical, fire ratings and acoustic absorption for automotive, cushioning curves and ESD properties for packaging. We help you specify the right foam type, supplier short-list, and qualification protocol for your specific market and product lifecycle.
Most foam selection decisions involve trade-offs between comfort, durability, cost and regulatory compliance. We help you make the right call for your specific market, with independent advice that isn't tied to any single supplier.
