How to choose the right sofa foam? ! Different types of foam uses at home furniture !
If you are reading this, there is a good chance you are sitting on a seat right now. If you aren’t sitting, there is likely a sofa or chair in close proximity. Sitting is something we often do, but don’t think much of it. That is unless the seat you are sitting on is uncomfortable. Then you will notice it. Old sofa cushions sag and lose their ability to return to form, making for an uncomfortable experience when sitting. Yet sitting is an integral part of our day, so it is important to ensure that along with good posture, the seat you are sitting on is comfortable. The good news is that if the foam in your cushion has deteriorated, it can be replaced. here you find the best foam for sofa cushions.
The foam used in a cushion is one of the most important factors in determining the comfort and lifespan of your sofa. The lifespan of a foam cushion is primarily dependent on the quality of the foam. This quality is often measured by the weight (density) of the foam. Each foam has a weight to it, and typically, the higher the weight the better.
We will talk about four types of foam that are used in sofa cushions: High Resilience foam, Memory Foam, High-Density Foam, and Polyurethane foam.
High Resilience foam is the best foam to use for cushions and is the leading foam type if you are looking for high responsiveness for extra bounce and quick return action.
Memory foam would be too squishy, floppy, and slow to return to its original form if used as a solid foam piece for a seat cushion. It would work best as a 1-2 inch thick topper layer.
Memory foam is an excellent quality foam when it comes to mattresses, so it would make sense to translate this into sofa cushions. If you were to lay on your sofa with Memory foam cushions, it would be very comfortable. However, there are some problems. When you get up after lying or sitting on it, your sofa will be covered in wrinkles for several minutes as the Memory foam slowly recovers to its original height. There is also the price. Memory foam is more expensive than many other foam types and is not used in the production of seat cushions by furniture manufacturers. As such, furniture cushions will only contain memory foam if they are custom build.
Latex foam is an excellent foam to use for sofa cushions. It will last over a decade and will provide extra bounce and air filtration.
Down and feather sofa cushions are a good option when combined with an inner foam core and do not contain polyester fiber.
Polyurethane foam is the most common type of foam fill for sofas, and is also often used as “toppers” for mattresses. It is usually yellow in color and high-resiliency (meaning it bounces back quickly). Memory foam is a type of foam that contains polyurethane foam, blended with additional compounds to create a low-resiliency, slow-to-bounce-back feel.
