Super Soft Foam*IMPORTANT NOTE: The most accurate way to measure a foam's firmness is to look at its ILD: Indentation Load Deflection - A measure of the load-bearing capacity of foam. ILD is generally measured as the force (in pounds) required to compress a 50 square-inch circular indentor foot into a 4-inch thick foam sample no smaller than 24-inches square to a stated percentage of the foam's initial height. Common ILD values are generated at 75% of initial height.
