What is the Comfort Firmness Rating Support?
Our manufacturer rates our products by a comfort rating which factors in the density. We do not have the ILD rating, or the weight in lbs per sq foot. High density foams can be produced very soft and low density foams can be made very firm. Therefore, there is no such thing as a “hard” or “soft” density. High density foam products generally offer a great deal of support, but they may actually be fairly soft foams. Our products are comparable to nationally advertised products. There is a difference between firmness and support. Firmness (25% IFD) is a measurement of surface feel of the foam. Support is the foam’s ability to “push back” against weight and prevent the foam from “bottoming out.” Higher density foam helps prevent the feeling of having the foam collapse beneath the weight of your body. Therefore individuals that weigh more should consider the higher density (5.3 Accu-Gold) products, those that weigh less than 200lbs should consider the lower density (4.3 Accu-Ease) products
