Term	Definition
Density	Lbs. per cubic foot. (Example: 1.7 lb. density foam means 1 cubic foot weights 1.7 lbs.
IFD	Indention Force Deflection, is a measurement of foam firmness and is independent of foam density. IFD is measured by indenting (compressing) a foam sample to 25% of its original height. The amount of force in lbs. required is its IFD measurement. The more force required, the firmer the foam. IFDs usually range from 10 IFD (super soft) to 100 IFD (very firm).
Phthalate-free	EnviroSafe products do not contain phthalates – chemical plasticizers that are often used to soften plastics. Phthalates are not environmentally friendly.
