Sofa padding

There are three main types of padding for sofas.

  1. Foam

High resilience foam is a kind of sponge produced by active poly phosphorus and TDI as the main body. It has excellent mechanical properties, good elasticity, large compressive load, flame resistance and good air permeability.

 

  1. Down filling

Feather is used as sofa filling, it is comfortable to sit, and has little deformation after long-term use. The disadvantage is slow rebound and high cost. It is generally used in conjunction with sponge in high-end sofas, or suitable for use as cushions.

 

  1. Artificial cotton filling

Artificial cotton is used as a sofa padding, which has excellent softness and comfortable sitting feeling, but it has poor mechanical properties and small compression load, so it is only suitable for cushions.
