Mattress Toppers
Polyurethane (PU) foam is widely used in mattress toppers due to its ability to enhance comfort, adjust firmness, and extend mattress life. It offers excellent pressure relief and is available in various densities and formulations, including memory foam and high-resilience foam.

Comfort Layer Enhancement: PU foam toppers add softness or firmness to an existing mattress, making them ideal for enhancing comfort on too-firm or aging mattresses.
Pressure Relief: PU foam contours to the body, reducing pressure on hips, shoulders, and joints, making it especially beneficial for side sleepers or those with joint pain.
Motion Isolation: Reduces motion transfer in shared beds, improving sleep quality.
Temperature Regulation: Open-cell polyurethane and gel-infused memory foam offer improved airflow and cooling.
