Custom Foam Shopping Guide
The first thing every consumer needs to know about foam is that its quality is determined by its density. These densities range everywhere between 1.25-4.0. In addition to density, firmness is another factor to consider when shopping for custom foam. The firmness of foam is measured by Indentation Load Deflection (ILD). To simplify things, use the following ranges as guidelines of mattress firmness.
-
Med-firm – ILD 36
-
Firm – ILD 44
-
Extra firm – ILD 50
**Standard sofa or couch cushions often use foam densities that fall between 1.0-1.2, whereas middle-grade furniture uses 1.8-2.2. Higher-end furniture often uses a 2.5 density or above — foam grades that are called High Resilience (HR).
Additional Considerations:
– Firmness and density are not related. Furthermore, you can purchase a really firm piece of foam that has a low density.
– Seat cushions should be firm, and body weight should be a main consideration when making a selection. For example, if you weigh between 150-180 pounds, custom foam with a 30-36 ILD is ideal.
