Secret Memory Foam Mattress Information Resource

There is a lot of information to be found online about memory foam mattresses, though the bulk of it has been written by people that actually sell the mattresses. When you type “memory foam mattress” into the top search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, the top results are all companies selling memory foam mattresses. Yes, we’re in there : )

Much of this information is helpful and good, but what if you wanted at least some of your research information to come from an unbiased source? Well as it turns out, there is such a resource, but the information is hard to find.

The Polyurethane Foam Association (PFA) is a group whose mission is to educate customers and other groups about flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) and to promote its use in manufactured and industrial products. It is supported by its membership of US flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) manufacturers and companies that supply the raw materials for FPF.

So it’s not a 100% unbiased resource. After all, its goal is still to promote the use of FPF in bedding and furniture. But the group has a high degree of authority and trust within the industry. It’s a group of the top experts with a mission to help you get the facts about foam products.

Be warned, much of the information is written for industry insiders. It may be difficult to wade through the tech jargon / lingo and ferret out useful information. Some of the most useful information (like density, odor, firmness, viscoelastic foam) is in the Intouch articles section.

Europur is the European counterpart of the PFA. It has less information, but what is available, is less technical and perhaps more useful for the consumer preparing to make a large home purchase.
