Comfort index

The foam must be able to support the weight of a person and adapt to the body movements. In other words: when the pressure on the foam increases, it can be expected that the pressure exercised is cushioned as evenly as possible.

In the labs, we determine this value by measuring the force required to compress the foam to 65 and 25% of its original height respectively. The ratio between these two measured forces yields the comfort index.

The comfort index of our Eucabase^® qualities is +/-2 and for our Eucaselect^® qualities it is +/- 3. The higher the comfort index, the better the foam supports the body.
