certipur us foam
When you are building a cushion, padding a headboard, or reviving a worn dining chair, CertiPUR-US foam gives you peace of mind about what goes inside your fabric. Foam carrying this certification has been independently tested for content, emissions, and durability, making it a smart choice for pieces you sit on, sleep on, or share with family every day.
What CertiPUR-US Certification Means
The CertiPUR-US program sets standards for flexible polyurethane foam. Certified foams are made without ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, and they are tested for low VOC emissions to support better indoor air quality.
Choosing the Right Foam for Your Project
Density and Firmness
High density foam holds its shape longer, which makes it ideal for seat cushions and benches. Softer, lower density foam works well for back cushions, pillows, and decorative padding.
Thickness and Fit
- 1–2 inches: headboards, padded walls, and chair pads
- 3–4 inches: dining and window seats
- 5 inches and up: sofa and outdoor-style cushions
Measure your frame carefully and consider wrapping the foam in batting for a smoother, fuller look under your upholstery fabric.
