What is an open cell foam?

If you look at any type of foam, they appear to be made of little bubbles. In open-cell foam, at least half of these are connected to each other, which allows air to pass between adjacent bubbles. The nature of open-cell foam makes it feel softer and more elastic than its closed-cell counterpart, which is why it is often used in cushions.

How can you tell the difference between open and closed cell foam?

Although the manufacturer will typically give this information, there is one easy way to tell the difference between the two. Closed cell foam has a closed off cell structure, which makes it more water resistant. Open cell foam, on the other hand, has an open cell structure, which means liquid can soak into the material.

How is open cell foam made?

Open cell foam is made by combining chemicals together with water, which creates a reaction. As they chemicals are strongly mixed in industrial mixers, bubbles begin to form, and the mixture expands and solidifies into what is called a foam "bun." Once the manufacturing process is complete, these buns can be cut and shaped to use for countless applications.

Does open cell foam absorb water?

Due to the nature of open-cell foam, it can absorb water. Although it can dry to an extent, it is not recommended in uses where liquids are present. There are specialty foams, like Dryfast, that allow water to drain. These foams are usually made specifically for use in wet conditions, and tend to be designed with anti-microbial properties.

Should I use open cell or closed cell foam?

Knowing what foam to use will depend on your application. There are certain situations where one or the other makes more sense; for example, you would not want to use a rigid, closed-cell foam for a couch cushion, where comfort is desired. Likewise, you would not want to use an absorbent open-cell foam where water resistance is a necessity. The foam that is best will change on a case-by-case basis.
