Armrests

In armrests, polyurethane foam provides a soft yet supportive surface that enhances passenger comfort. It is often used in the form of integral skin foam, which combines a soft inner core with a tough outer layer. This construction delivers a smooth finish that resists wear, scratches, and environmental exposure.

Headrests

In headrests, polyurethane foam serves both comfort and safety functions. Typically made from high-resilience (HR) foam, it helps absorb impact forces in the event of a collision while offering comfortable head support during normal use. The foam’s ability to recover its shape after compression ensures it remains effective and comfortable over time.
