Re: IDL rating of H&M foam
HA! Well, you are past my expertise on that one. I put a call into H&M and there is one person there that can probably give some guidance, but it will be next week before they can respond. I'll let you know if I come up with a finding.
Re: IDL rating of H&M foam
Thanks Duane! I will check back here. I wish I could find foam just like that used by H&M, who is sending me new foam in a week or two because the firm foam that came in our H&M sofa is finally beginning to break down....and like you have stated here on the forum they are replacing it for free. The leather is still very good but the cushion is going a bit flat on the front... But in all fairness I am in the 400lb range, use this sofa several hours a day, and these six year old cushions and sofa have outlasted every other sofa we have purchased by three or four years....and the frame is still tight!! I am very well pleased with H&M!! Now if I can get a similar foam in our RV it will last for years.
Re: IDL rating of H&M foam
Hi Duane!
I am not sure if this is the info you need but maybe it will help!
BTW...Thanks for the order you just faxed!
The foam specs for Hancock & Moore cushions are as follows:
Standard: 2.3 density with a target 17 lb. ILD.
Ultra-down : 2.5 density with a target 17 lb. ILD
Extra Firm Standard: 2.5 density with a target 27 lb. ILD. ( we can order cushions as firm as 31 , 41, and 55 lb. ILD’s but the 41 and 55 lb. ILD will be very firm)
Extra-Firm Ultra-down: 1.8 density with target ILD of 21lbs. and up ( depending on customer preference)
Backs: Don’t have an ILD or density for fiber plush or ultra- down backs. Usually ordered as standard, extra-firm, and extra-extra firm… With a firmer seat, we definitely would recommend a firmer back to compliment the firm seat.
Hope this helps...
I have more very detailed info on ILD rating and density I can send if you or anyone would be interested.
Have a great evening!

FYI, Roberta is in the customer service dept. at Hancock & Moore - THANK YOU! Glad you are here on the forum (be nice to Roberta, ya'll)
Re: IDL rating of H&M foam
THANKS! To both Duane and Roberta! That will help me out! As we ordered X Firm Standard foam for our H&M sofa I assume that our foam has an ILD of about 27...which is lower than I expected but also shows how very good foam has an effect on the comfort and firm feel....as compared to other foams with similar density but higher ILD ratings. Thanks again Roberta! Information is like gold so any information about the foam that you guys use is appreciated.
