Below are the basic specifications of our foam. If you are looking for detailed specifications, click the "details" button under that type of foam.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: The most accurate way to measure a foam's firmness is to look at its ILD: Indentation Load Deflection - A measure of load bearing capacity of foam. ILD is generally measured as the force (in pounds) required to compress a 50 square inch circular indentor foot into a four inch thick foam sample no smaller than 24 inches square, to a stated percentage of the foam's initial height. Common ILD values are generated at 25% of initial height.
