Introduction
In the furniture industry, comfort and durability play a significant role in consumer preferences. Molded HR (High Resilience) and viscoelastic (Memory Foam) foams are leading materials in the sector due to their high performance and comfort features. Pluskim offers specialized solutions for furniture manufacturers, ensuring that products are both aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically designed.
What is HR (High Resilience) Foam?
HR foam is a type of polyurethane foam known for its high bounce-back (resilience) feature, durability, and flexibility.
Features of HR Foam:
- High Flexibility: Provides comfort in seating and back supports.
- Quick Recovery: Returns to its original shape without deformation.
- Long-lasting Use: Offers high density and durability.
- Breathability: Its air-permeable structure helps reduce sweating.
Application Areas:
- Seating groups and sofa cushions
- Mattresses and headboards
- Car seats and office furniture
- Cinema and theater seats
What is Viscoelastic (Memory) Foam?
Memory foam is a foam that adapts to the shape of the user’s body due to its sensitivity to body heat and pressure.
Key Features of Memory Foam:
- Body Shape Adaptation: Provides orthopedic support by reducing pressure.
- Slow Rebound: The foam slowly returns to its original form when the user gets up.
- Vibration Absorption: Minimizes motion transfer (e.g., in double beds).
- Hypoallergenic Structure: Does not harbor dust mites and allergens.
Application Areas:
- Mattresses and pillows
- Medical products (wheelchair cushions, hospital beds)
- Office chairs and ergonomic seating solutions
- Automotive comfort products
