The Origin Of CertiPUR-US®
This voluntary testing, analysis and certification program was initially developed by members of the global foam industry in response to an increase in substandard imported foams. CertiPUR-US® tests for durability, content and indoor emissions. CertiPUR-US® is an extension of the European CertiPUR-US® program developed in 2002 by EUROPUR, the association of European flexible polyurethane foam block manufacturers.
Products such as upholstered furniture and mattresses, that carry the CertiPUR-US® seal contain flexible polyurethane foams that have been tested and certified by an independent laboratory to meet specific criteria for physical performance, indoor emissions and environmental stewardship.
