Foams that feel good & you can feel good about

The flexible polyurethane foam in our foam products has been independently laboratory tested and certified to meet voluntary standards for content, emission and durability.

CertiPUR-US® approved foams are:

  • Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million)
  • Made without ozone depleters
  • Made without PBDEs
  • Made without mercury, lead and heavy metals
  • Made without formaldehyde
  • Made without phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission

Plant-Based Enhanced Foam

Geneva Enterprises is committed to environmentally sound practices throughout our organization. We work closely with our manufacturers and our customers to continue to seek eco-friendly solutions for our products and business practices. All of our foam products are produced with a soy-based additive, reducing the amount of petroleum products needed in manufacturing.

Our foam products utilize a blend of natural oil-based and conventional polyols. This process reduces our country’s dependence on foreign oil while benefiting U.S. farmers seeking more options for their current farm products.

Polyol made partially from plant-based renewable oils such as soy and castor beans helps the environment in the following ways:

  • Production of plant-based polyol uses up to 60% less fossil fuel resources than petroleum-based polyol.
  • One gallon of crude oil is saved for every 11 pounds of plant-based polyol consumed.
  • The use of plant-based polyol results in a 36% less global warming emissions than petroleum-based polyols.
  • Growing plants consume carbon dioxide while producing oxygen.
  • Two pounds of carbon dioxide is consumed by the growing plant for every pound of plant-based polyol produced.
