How to Make Sure Your Foam is Certified

How can you ensure the foam within the mattress, pillow, topper, or upholstered furniture you intend to buy is truly accredited under the CertiPUR-US® program? It's a straightforward process. Just consult our online consumer directory, which comprises a list of participating brands and companies. By referring to our website, you can verify whether the company or brand you are contemplating purchasing from is included.

In the event that the company isn't listed, there exists no foolproof method to confirm whether they employ certified flexible polyurethane foam, including memory foam.

Certain companies employ our emblem and assert that their foam is certified. However, unless they are officially registered and featured on our roster, certainty eludes you. All the companies listed on our site have formally submitted documentation that attests to their utilization of certified foam. This involves separate confirmations submitted by one or more of our participating foam producers.

Therefore, regardless of the assertions made by salespeople, labels affixed to merchandise, or proclamations on product websites, the surefire way to validate the claims is to cross-reference with the CertiPUR-US online directory of participating entities. Should you come across a company that misrepresents their use of certified foam, please notify us through the provided contact form. Often, such instances arise due to a company's good intentions; they might simply be unaware of the program's guidelines and the procedure for registration and listing on our site.

As a nonprofit organization, we do not impose any fees for these listings, as we aspire for the directory to be comprehensive and immensely valuable to consumers. Our inbox is consistently filled with inquiries from individuals who wish to introduce products into their homes that are devoid of ozone depleters, formaldehyde, heavy metals like lead and mercury, and other concerning chemicals. Furthermore, they seek the advantages associated with certified foam, such as low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to maintain indoor air quality.

At present, there are over 1,000 manufacturers and retailers of mattresses, pillows, and upholstered furniture offering products containing CertiPUR-US certified foam. Thus, locating exactly what you desire for your home, crafted with certified foams or, as we phrase it, "foams that feel good and you can feel good about®," is a straightforward endeavor.
