What is Egg Crate Foam?

Egg Crate Foam is a petrochemical compound that is normally made in 2 configurations.

Egg Crate can be created in a wide variety of compositions, weights, and densities to adhere to various standards and uses in specialized industries.

This product is made of petrochemical-based flexible foams, typically polyurethane or visco-elastic compound comprised of petrochemicals and plant based materials.

The typical latex foam shown on the image above is made of petrochemicals and it exerts the same amount of pressure evenly across it so it “bounces back” to it’s original configuration.

Memory foam on the other hand retains a memory of the pressure and keeps it’s new volume for a varied amount of time

Egg Crate Foam for Mattresses, Pads, Sheets, and Toppers

As a whole new range of chemical processes have become available and economical to achieve, egg crate foam is now used widely in the mattress and linen industry for residential use. The visco-elastic version of this foam (memory foam) is typically used as mattress pads, mattress toppers, and even blankets. Due to it’s open cell properties and adhesion properties the product can be made into thin sheets for making blankets. Many people love the memory foam because unlike other spring mattresses it aids in sleep quality by reducing pressure points on the skin and joints that can lead to a bad night’s sleep and sore body parts. The medical industry often uses the polymer based to reduce the likelihood of open sores in the skin.
