The ability of a foam or polyurethane material to bounce back to its original shape after being squeezed or distorted is measured by foam and polyurethane resilience testing. This is a test for materials that will be subjected to repetitive compressive forces over time in applications such as furniture, bedding, and automobile components.

The ball rebound test is one of the most used procedures for measuring the durability of foam and polyurethane. This test is dropping a certain weight ball onto the material and measuring the height of the rebound. The height of the rebound is used to calculate the material’s resilience.

In addition to the ball rebound test, other foam and polyurethane resilience testing methods include the constant-force indentation test and the compression set test. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of testing method will depend on the application’s specific needs.
