According to the CertiPUR-US® website “the CertiPUR-US® program was developed to provide the comfort and confidence of knowing the flexible polyurethane foam meets standards for content, emissions and durability and are analyzed by independent, accredited laboratories. Today, foam producers from all countries may participate in the program, as long as they meet our rigorous certification guidelines.

CeriPUR-US approved foams are:

1.       Low emissions (VOCs) for indoor air quality

2.       Made without ozone depleters

3.       Made without PBDEs

4.       Made without mercury, lead, and heavy metals

5.       Made without formaldehyde

6.       Made without prohibited phthalates

CertiPUR-US is a voluntary testing, analysis and certification program developed by the global flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) industry.”
