Foam Testing

FIRA Foam Testing

Foams are often an integral part of upholstered furniture, beds and mattresses.  It is important that these foams are able to withstand the rigours of day to day use and FIRA undertakes a series of furniture foam tests to assess performance criteria such as hardness and foam pounding.

In addition, the flammability of foams used in furniture is a crucial issue, governed by legislation and building specifications. Flammability testing of foams used in domestic environments is MANDATORY.

FIRA's services include:

  • Definition of suitability for use 
  • Quality checks/controls 
  • Hardness tests
  • Complaint analysis
  • Flammability tests 
  • Pounding tests 
  • Assistance with the development of new products
