Via Seating’s proprietary comfort foam is expertly sculpted to integrate body balance technology directly into the seat & back cushioning. It is injected into a precision-engineered mold at controlled, varying rates, creating strategic multi-density levels within each cushion. This process forms a subtle contour that delivers optimal support exactly where body weight is most concentrated. Meanwhile, the outer edges are designed with a softer feel & a waterfall slope to promote circulation & eliminate pressure where the legs extend over the seat’s edge.
Closed-Cell Cold-Cured Foam Technology
Closed-Cell refers to the fact that the foam has a smooth outer skin that is kind to fabric. It does not rasp on the upholstery from the inside. The foam does not absorb moisture. It protects the foam over-time and does not break down. The comfort of Via Seating foam has the same comfort 12 years later. Cold-Cured refers to the consistency in size of the air cells within the foam. The foam is one single, contoured and resilient piece of foam. It is not layered foam.
Expertly Tested and Durable Foam
Via Seating uses a resistance factor test and measurement of density to assess the durability and quality of its foam. Density/volume weight gives an indication of the foam’s ability to resist weight and not “bottom out”. Good foam must provide resistance in direct proportion to the amount of pressure applied. This unit of measurement does not necessarily translate into hardness but rather the feeling of support you receive when you sit on the foam. Via Seating foam has an average density or volume of 3 pounds per cubic foot (48 kg/m3). Standard flat foam, by comparison, has a single volume weight between 1.9-2.25 pounds per cubic foot (30 to 40 kg/m3). The greater density of Via Seating foam makes it best-suited for office ergonomic seating.
