Who this is for
If you build sofas, sectionals, recliners, ottomans, banquette seating, executive chairs, modular furniture or any seated upholstery, your foam choice decides three things at once: how the seat feels on day one, how it holds up at year three, and the warranty claim rate at year five. Most foam complaints in the Indian furniture market — "sagging seat", "lost shape", "too soft now" — trace back to under-spec density. We supply seating-grade foam tuned for Indian build, climate and use cycle.
Grades we typically supply to furniture buyers
| Component | Grade | IFD (typical) | Why this works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seat cushion (regular) | 32 kg/m³ HR | Medium 30–38 | Six to eight year cushion life under daily home use. Best value pick. |
| Seat cushion (heavy use / hospitality) | 36–40 kg/m³ HR | Firm 40–50 | Eight to ten years of seated cycle life with minimal IFD drift. |
| Backrest fill | 20–24 kg/m³ PU (low density) | Soft 16–22 | Backrests carry far less repeated compression. Lower density is correct here — saves cost without compromising feel. |
| Armrest core | 28 kg/m³ PU or 32 kg/m³ HR | Medium-firm 32–42 | Shape retention under occasional leaning load. |
| Modular base / firm seat lift | 80–100 kg/m³ bonded | Firm | Used as a 1–2 inch lift under softer comfort foam to prevent bottoming-out. |

How we engineer this for you
Three things make foam supply work well for furniture OEMs:
Why India proximity helps furniture OEMs
our factory sits inside or within a short truck haul of every major Indian sofa cluster:
- Jalandhar sofa cluster: 90 km, under 3 hours by truck.
- Ludhiana furniture makers: 40 km — same-day dispatch possible.
- Sahibabad & Kirti Nagar (Delhi): under 8 hours.
- Faridabad / Gurgaon furniture B2B: 6–8 hours.
- Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula: under 2 hours.
Short transit means smaller buffer stock for you, less working capital tied in inventory and faster reaction when an order pattern shifts.
Furniture-OEM FAQ
What MOQ should I plan for?
First-time orders typically begin at one full block / one truck load. Recurring customers move to smaller per-order quantities with a monthly or quarterly schedule. Share monthly volume in the RFQ and we will quote against your specific run.
Can you cut to our seat profiles?
Yes. Send drawings or templates. CNC profile cutting is available for complex curvature. We will quote with and without profiling so you can decide if in-shop cutting still makes sense for your run size.
How quickly can I get samples?
Standard density grades dispatch as samples within 48–72 hours of an RFQ. Custom densities take 5–7 working days from order confirmation.
Do you supply with fire retardancy?
Yes, FR-treated grades are available — relevant for hospitality and certain export markets. Specify the standard you need (BS 5852, CAL 117 etc.) in the RFQ.
