Understanding the differences between High Resiliency Foam vs. Conventional Foam is a critical factor in determining the comfort and lifespan of your furniture. High-quality foam not only enhances daily use but also helps your furniture stay in excellent condition for years.
What Is High Resiliency (HR) Foam?
HR foam is a type of foam known for its exceptional elasticity and support. Its proprietary cell structure allows it to quickly regain shape after compression, providing a responsive and luxurious-feeling seating experience.
It is durable, comfortable, and provides support that promotes better posture. In cushions, you can notice the difference in an HR foam’s ability to ‘come back.’ This means more bounce when you sit on it, as well as a quick recovery to its original shape and thickness.
Why Conventional Foam Wears Out Faster?
Conventional foam is commonly used in furniture for its affordability. However, it generally has a lower density and resiliency compared to HR foam, which leads to quicker wear and loss of shape over time. When sat on, a less resilient cushion will stay compressed or take a long time to recover.
Over time, this lack of support can cause discomfort and poor posture, especially in high-use furniture like sofa cushions, foam mattresses, and seat cushions.
