Our customers test foam to evaluate conformance to a specification, to compare multiple materials, or to determine the properties of foam. Element experts can evaluate foam alone, or as part of a complete product evaluation. Foam testing is often conducted in association with product flammability testing or product durability testing. Element provides independent testing services to the mattress and furniture industries.
ASTM D3574, "Standard Test Methods for Flexible Cellular Materials – Slab, Bonded, and Molded Urethane Foams," is the most commonly referenced test method for urethane foam, and the standard contains several individual test methods for determining various properties of flexible cellular materials. However, there are many test standards for foam and foam mattresses or other bedding items.
