Leading companies in the furniture foam market are concentrating on creating advanced materials, such as recycled polyurethane (PU) foam, to establish a competitive edge. Flexible polyurethane (PU) foam is a lightweight and versatile material that finds extensive use across several industries, particularly in furniture, bedding, automotive, and packaging. It is produced by combining polyols and diisocyanates in a chemical reaction, resulting in a foam that is both flexible and resilient. For instance, in January 2024, The Vita Group, a UK-based manufacturer of flexible PU foam solutions, introduced Orbis, a flexible polyurethane foam that incorporates post-consumer foam mattresses. This eco-friendly option helps minimize landfill waste and incineration while maintaining the quality, durability, and comfort typical of traditional PU foam. The Vita Group emphasizes that Orbis aids in reducing carbon footprints and supports a circular economy, aligning with global sustainability objectives. The foam is suitable for both bedding and furniture applications and is available commercially in standard ether and high-resilience variants.

In July 2024, Domfoam Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of polyurethane foam, acquired Foamco for an undisclosed sum.
