Abstract
Comfort, styling, and durability of automotive seating is largely due to the excellent performance of flexible urethane foam cushioning elements. This paper reviews the production and properties of current molded urethane foam cushioning, and the total assembly seating performance requirements. The newer developments of “full-depth” cushioning and “high-resilience” foams are examined in some detail.
