Our blend of latex, processed the way we do, contains none of these proteins that cause allergic reactions. We are the largest maker of latex Cosmetic Sponges in the world and have never had an allergic reaction. With this track record, you can be assured you won't have a problem. Besides, with the cover, you never contact the product. No, our product is not the same as urethane or furniture foam.
Urethane is a plastic.
It doesn't have the longevity and resiliency of rubber. In short, when worked, they lose resiliency and shape. The just won't give you the same comfort a year from now that they do in the showroom. Urethane foams are also made from isocyanates, and can give off deadly hydrogen cyanide gas in a fire. Our product is rubber and has all the resiliency inherent in rubber.
