PU foam seems to be everywhere!!! In all costco mattresses like ARA, emma etc.!!! Please, please manufacturers get rid of PU foam from your mattresses and if you must charge the customer more!!! Many of us are willing to pay more for a good product!!!! Thanks so much.

There is such a thing as high quality Polyurethane foam, the mattress makers just opt to use the cheap stuff. a few years ago, I was reading the specs on a no'name brand mattress. the PU foam in it had a density of only 0.8lb/3ft!!! Of course, crap like that won't last.

Pete, I used to think that too, but after having my HR foam break down in less than 3 years, I now think that all PU foam is junk and deserves the designation: PEEE-EWWW! Granted, high quality PU would be better than the stuff they use. But really if they want to make a QUALITY bed they need to go back to the old ways of mattress making... use less foam overall and what foam they do use should be latex imho.
