Single-unit seat foam developed
UniFoam is a form-fitting composite foam used for school bus seats. It has a dense urethane core and fits directly over a seat frame, while its surface is composed of a vinyl-type material that adheres to the energy-absorbent foam envelope, creating a one-piece seat and eliminating the need for a vinyl slipcover. UniFoam is flame-resistant and FMVSS 302 and 222 compliant.
