Together, We Have More Impact.

For over 40 years, the Polyurethane Foam Association (PFA) has represented flexible polyurethane foam manufacturers and suppliers to the industry, sharing research and best practices, providing regulatory compliance guidance and effectively advocating for the industry’s interests.

Responding to legislative and regulatory threats, changes in the legal landscape, misinformation in the media, false advertising claims, threats to market share from alternative products that claim to be substitutes for flexible polyurethane foam – these challenges are all better addressed as an industry.

Members receive confidential legal memoranda from our Washington, DC counsel, a former White House Cabinet official with years of experience advising the foam industry. Topics include regulatory decisions taken by U.S. EPA, OSHA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and action by state legislatures establishing labeling requirements and limits on the chemical content of products

PFA Members receive quarterly proprietary financial data and analysis on slabstock production, mattress sales and imports.

Members enjoy discounted registration at our twice yearly conferences, where they are updated on trends in key FPF markets by executives from the upholstered furniture, mattress and auto industries. Conference attendees (both in person and online) hear from experts on supply chain challenges, tariffs and trade disputes. And Technical papers are presented on new raw material formulations and processing equipment, EHS best practices, and sustainability initiatives.

PFA offers four different Membership classifications:

Manufacturing Membership – companies that manufacture FPF in U.S. facilities from chemical raw materials.

Associate/Supplier Membership – companies that supply raw materials, production and diagnostic equipment, testing and technology services to FPF manufacturers.

Federated Membership – FPF manufacturers with production facilities entirely outside the United States.

Molded Foam Division Members – PFA manufacturing and federated members focused on production of molded flexible polyurethane production, and the product stewardship demands of the automotive, business furniture and other specialty markets.
