Growing Deployment of Flexible Foam in the Furniture Industry Bolstering the Market Growth
The rising demand for flexible foam in furniture and bedding owing to its lightweight, durability, and versatility is propelling the market growth. Flexible foams can be expanded widely, ranging from 2 times expansions to 15 times expansion, which makes them ideal for cushiony applications.
