There is some foam available currently in Victoria and they are the Viscoe elastic range these have been developed to be inline with the Tempur foams and Confor
Remember that foam needs to have a good quality density example LR60/80 60 = Density this refers to weight of the foam per cubic metre, this is a most important measure when grading the quality of the foam. The higher the density the higher the foam quality. Viscoelastic foams are very high density ranging from 60kg per cubic metre to 85kg per cubic metre. 85kg/m3 80 = hardness this is a measure of how the foam feels not of the quality Higher quality foams such Viscoeform maintain there hardness levels for longer periods. 80cm2 Has a nominal hardness of 80 newtons when tested to Australian standards. Some foams I have seen used in gliding for cushioning is A15-100 which offers no support or any real comfort. I am currently in the process of manufacturing cushions for our fleet These will be fully upholstered in the viscoe elastic range _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
