Product Information

Overworking your muscles can cause the fascia tissue around them to tighten up and knot which can make your muscles feel tight and painful. By rolling your muscles, you can increase circulation to the area which helps to loosen knots and soothe aches, pain, and tension. Healthcare Mattresses: Hospitals and care facilities often use ultra high-density foam in medical mattresses to provide exceptional support and comfort to patients. GB Foam Direct only ever uses the best materials to create your products. We’ve been converting foam since 1976 and have supplied it to some of the world’s most famous furniture manufacturers. High density foam rollers are best for someone who has some experience foam rolling and is looking for an inexpensive way to add their own roller to their home gym or workout bag.

You don’t necessarily need machinery to tell you. In fact, you probably won’t have access to a machine to get any accurate readings. But to get an idea of density when comparing different foams, simply hold a section of the foam in your hand (or hands) and feel the weight. Do this for another foam and you may get a sense of which is heavier. After that, you’ll be asked to input your measurements. We accept measurements in mm, cm or inches. Whichever you prefer to use. Density is not a measure of how firm the foam will be. Foam can, in fact, be soft to press down, but dense in weight (or quality). Density is mainly an indicator of the quality and lifespan of the foam. There are quite a few other reasons besides being new to foam rolling where you might opt for a lower density. You might have body parts that you’ve never rolled before or muscles that are sensitive because they are already sore from your last training session. Our upholstery foam is ideal for those looking to upholster or revitalise furniture of all varieties. That includes sofas, bar stools, armchairs, garden seats, benches and much more! You can choose from a variety of foam grades, available in various shapes and sizes to help you get the job done. If you’re looking for comfortable and supportive upholstery foam, you’re in the right place! Upholstery Foam Cut to Shape & SizeTrigger point and deep tissue foam rollers are best for those looking for the high-intensity release of specific trigger points in their muscle tissue. A medium-density roller is perfect if you’re new to foam rolling or you only do occasional and moderate exercise. This is because your muscles need to acclimatise to the pressure applied by a roller. If it’s too firm, the pressure applied could be too intense for your muscles to handle. The technical expression of firmness is Indentation Load Deflection ( ILD). Also known as Indentation Force Deflection (IFD) How do you calculate ILD? Because of the higher density of the foam, you get a firmer roller that is less likely to deform over time. That also means it will provide a lot of even pressure on the targeted tissues while rolling. Price - If you’re on a budget, very high density mattresses may be out of your price range. However, it’s perfectly possible to find a comfortable and supportive memory foam mattress for less.

This can be any grade of foam. It may be fabricated (glued) together. We do not recommend this foam for any specific application. When shopping for a foam roller, it's worth understanding the differences between each density level, the types of textures available and how each determine the feel and intensity of the massage. Here, Penny breaks down each type:

of a fire. If the product achieves a Class 0 classification then its fire propagation rating is seen to be acceptable according to

In scenarios where foam has a dual purpose, perhaps a fold-out sofa bed, for example, becomes more difficult to cater for. If you’re not sure if you’re ready for a high density foam roller, but also not sure if a lower-density will be enough pressure to give you the benefits you want. Then a medium density foam roller could be the best choice for you.What matters though, is the ability to know where that 2.8 value falls on the scale, and how it compares to other values. For example, what if you encounter a 1.2LB density open-cell polyurethane foam? In a numerical sense, 1.2 is pretty close to 2.8, but does that closeness correlate to foam density? Without an understanding of the overall scale where most of these values fall, they’re hard to compare. High density foam is used for a variety of different applications. It helps to provide support in seating and is often found used as a base layer in memory foam mattresses. Compared to foam types with a lower density, high density foam is known for its sturdiness and longevity. To make the consumer world of foam easier to understand, we simplify the numeric values into generic terms that we apply to foam firmness, based on the results of the technical test. Here’s an idea of how the numbers relate to different foam firmness descriptions… Firmness (ILD)

We offer 3 different foam types. Medium Foam, Firm Foam and Luxury Foam are all great to use depending on the project or the requirements of what you need that particular foam type to do. All of our foam products are fire retardant and conform to all industry standards. Foam density can be important and the higher the foam grade, the higher density foam it will be. Need foam cut to size for your next upholstery project? We can help you with that as well. Whether you need regular box cushion foam or something more complex, Foam Direct can provide high-quality foam, cut to the size and shape you need.Again, how you use the foam comes into play. A higher density foam should be used in higher traffic areas. Because of these manufacturing variables, it also makes it difficult to measure exact data on different types of foam.
