Foam

Spec uses new foam technology in all our seating products which displaces up to 25% of the existing non-renewable petroleum with a sustainable plant based substitute. This technology does not change the physical properties or comfort of the foam. It does however reduce Spec’s footprint and focus on the use of renewable, sustainable materials. It is our mandate to increase the percentage of renewable content as advancement in the technology will allow.
