The Nugget is crafted using a combination of open-cell polyurethane foams, carefully selected to create the perfect balance of comfort and durability. These foams are encased in a soft and long-lasting microsuede fabric, ensuring a delightful tactile experience.
To achieve the desired level of flexibility and comfort, the Nugget utilizes foam with a density of 1.8 pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft3). This density is chosen to provide a supportive yet pliable foundation, allowing for a range of seating and lounging positions without sacrificing comfort.
In terms of firmness, the foam used in the Nugget is rated at 34 Indentation Load Deflection (ILD) units. ILD measures the amount of force required to compress a foam material by a certain percentage. With an ILD of 34, the foam strikes a balance between being too soft and too firm, providing a comfortable surface that adapts to the body’s contours without bottoming out.
The choice of polyurethane foam for the Nugget is deliberate, as it offers several advantages. Polyurethane foam is known for its excellent cushioning properties, providing a supportive yet forgiving surface for sitting or lying down. Additionally, it exhibits good resilience, meaning it can quickly regain its original shape after being compressed.
The foam’s open-cell structure is another noteworthy feature. Open-cell foams allow for better airflow and breathability, preventing the accumulation of heat and moisture. This promotes a cooler and more comfortable sitting or lounging experience, even during extended periods of use.
The foam is further enhanced by the microsuede fabric covering, which adds a layer of softness and durability. Microsuede is known for its plush feel, resembling natural suede but with added durability and stain resistance. This fabric choice ensures that the Nugget remains cozy and inviting, while also standing up to the rigors of everyday use.
The Nugget is made using a combination of open-cell polyurethane foams, specifically chosen for their flexibility, comfort, and support. The 1.8 lb/ft3 foam with a 34 ILD rating strikes a harmonious balance, while the microsuede fabric provides a soft and durable outer layer. Together, these materials create a product that offers just the right amount of comfort and longevity for everyday enjoyment.
