I keep considering this foam, but have no idea what it's like - who makes it, etc. I know haysdb did a big memory foam study a while back and wonder if anyone can speculate about what this stuff is. They say it is pink color, 5.5 lbs/c.f. and 15lbs ILD. That's a fist for me to see an ILD for memory foam. Has anyone bought it?

Make sure and give them a negative feedback for misrepresenting their product. I will, too.

The larger of my two samples is between 1.3 and 1.4 oz according to my analog postal scale. Figuring it would not be accurate at the lowest end of the scale, I first placed a weight on it then added the foam on top. I measured it at three different points on the scale and all were within the above range.

The sample is not precisely regular in shape. I measured the minimums and maximums with a stainess steel ruler marked to a 1/16".

Min: 3 13/16 x 3  7/8  x 1 7/8 = 27.7 in3

Max: 4       x 3 15/16 x 2 1/8 = 33.5 in3

Avg                              30.6 in3

The density of my sample is ~4.75 lbs/ft3


Notes:
  • I can make no claim for the accuracy of my postal scale. If it's off by 10% that could add or subtract almost .5 lb to or from the calculated density.
  • The volume in cubic feet is  (12 x 12 x 12) / the volume in cubic inches.
  • Oz are divided by 16 to get the weight in lbs.
