Polyurethane Foam Mattresses: What Is It and How Is It Made?
The polyurethane foam is a material with a cellular structure and a high percentage of air, used in a lot of fields, including the production of mattresses.
Today the production of polyurethane is a consolidated process that provides us safe, high-quality, and fully eco-sustainable products.
Facts in a Nutshell…
In 1937 for the first time the polyurethane foam was realized in a laboratory by the Professor Otto Bayer. This innovative material achieved a great success and today it’s used in various sectors: Furnishing, footwear, buildings (thanks to its insulating properties) and also in automotive industry.
The polyurethane foam is characterized by an exceptional softness, elasticity, and by an extreme permeability to air and moisture; For this reason it’s used in the mattresses and pillows production.
How Has Been the Polyurethane Foam Produced?
The realization process takes place within a closed tunnel where the pressure and the vacuum are continuously adjusted to obtain a foam material.
Due to the widespread use of water during the production, the polyurethane foam is totally eco-friendly and recyclable.
Along the tunnel takes place the polymerization reaction that transforms the foam in the finished blocks, then processed and carved.
