One of the largest
mattress manufacturers in the United States i.e. Denver Mattress has announced
that it uses between 2.54cm (one inch) and 7.62cm (three inches) of soybean oil-
based foam for the quilted top layer of nearly all of its mattresses. This
soybean oil based foam namely BioFlex™
Hybrid foam is produced by Flexible foam Products, Inc. by
using a patented process called EnviroFlex technology and Cargill BiOH®
soy-based polyol that replace a portion of the petroleum products used in
BioFlex™ Hybrid Foam.According to
Flexible Foam products, Inc., BioFlex boasts equal, if not
better, performance in several standard measurements for furniture-grade foams,
including support factor ratio; tensile, tear and elongation strength; height
loss; and indentation force deflection, compared with petrochemical-based foams.
