TEMPUR-PEDIC®
FOAM SOLD ELSEWHERE AND USED BY MATRESS AND PILLOW COMPANIES
 
ConforTM TEMPERFOAM has been recognized as the BEST seat
cushion available for comfort and impact safety since the Apollo Space Program. The real
value of TEMPERFOAM is that when sitting in one position TEMPERFOAM will form-fit without
the development of pressure points. It is open celled, elastomeric, urethane foam that
breathes and wicks away body moisture. For this reason it is often used and unexcelled for
use in wheelchairs, and because of it's unique ability to absorb shock, it provides an
impact safety factor that has no equal! . Temperfoam can be easily cut by a sharp knife or
razor (electric kitchen knife works great!) and can be glued to itself with many adhesives
for custom shapes but It should always be used with an absorbent breathable cover such as
cotton, wool, or polyester.
This is the SAME material used in Parachute pads and in the detachable parachute back pad
and custom seat pads designed by Wings & Wheels and made for us by National Parachute
Industries.

Energy absorbing foams are ideal for construction of seat pads since these
form to shape with body temperature and weights and become form fitting
reducing pressure points. Depending on the seat thickness (even 1" thick
will make an amazing difference in seating comfort over bare seats and
sailplane cockpit floors) an ideal seat cushion would be made of 3 densities
combined as an example, green bottom layer, blue middle and pink top layer
in any combination of thickness to provide a seat pad from 1 1/" to 3"
thick. These foams like most other types should also be covered in a fabric,
vinyl or leather covering material to preserve the foam and keep it dry and
clean.
