Description:
Conventional Foam at 1.50 lb. density is a medium-quality foam, in between Commercial Grade Polyurethane Foam (1.20 lb density) and Industrial Grade High Density (1.80 lb density). It will be more suitable for upholstery applications than 1.20 lb density foam at a more economical price than 1.80 lb density foam.
