ComfortScience™
How do you define comfort?
Comfort is a science and Dow helps make it measurable, dependable and scalable. Through ComfortScience™, we apply material science expertise, including advanced polyurethane technologies and polyols, to the design of foams and systems that deliver consistent comfort, durability and performance. By combining deep chemistry knowledge with real-world comfort testing, we help our customers create cushions, mattresses and seating solutions that provide the right balance of support, resilience and feel. Comfort you can count on, every time.
Improving comfort through science
Dow ComfortScience™ melds deep materials expertise with consumer-centered research and sustainability principles to deliver scientifically validated comfort solutions across various industries.
Advanced foams for sleep, furniture, footwear
Experience the perfect blend of comfort and convenience as Dow embraces changing consumer demands. Our innovative polyurethane materials and technologies redefine style, comfort, performance, and durability. Through industry collaborations, we're innovating everyday consumer products you can rely on.
Bedding & Pillows
Technologies to improve comfort and achieve deeper, healthier sleep.
Furniture & Seating
Flexible foam products for tailored performance, improved productivity and maximum comfort.
Footwear
Durable footwear solutions that advance material quality and performance.
We use various measuring technologies to analyze how our solutions perform and work together to improve comfort in the final application. We are able to measure factors like heat and moisture transport, pressure mapping, temperature and humidity tracking – and we do this with the help of tools such as 3D sensor grids, high-resolution pressure mapping systems, and infrared imaging. All of this helps us to visualize, quantify, and improve the comfort experience.
Join us to co-create innovative new products that offer customizable comfort adapted to everybody, no matter their needs or preferences.
What are the testing capabilities of ComfortScience™ Studios?
Advanced Climate & Bedding Testing
Dow’s ComfortScience™ Studios feature purpose‑built facilities designed to evaluate bedding systems under realistic sleep conditions. Climate‑controlled environments, bed‑building stations, and digital modeling enable consistent, repeatable testing across a broad range of materials and finished products.
Thermal & Moisture Performance Analysis
Specialized testing methods assess how heat and moisture move through individual components and layered bedding systems. By measuring thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and moisture diffusivity, these capabilities support the development of materials that enhance sleep comfort and performance.
Pressure & Support Evaluation
Pressure mapping and deformation testing provide insight into how mattresses and sleep systems distribute weight and respond to the body. These evaluations help inform designs that reduce pressure points, promote proper alignment, and improve overall comfort.
Surface & Temperature Imaging
Infrared imaging and surface temperature analysis measure thermal buildup, cooling behavior, and temperature duration over time. These insights help evaluate surface treatments and material choices, supporting informed decisions to optimize comfort and durability.
