What does comfort mean to you?
Everyone needs comfort – it’s fundamental for quality of life and a sense of wellbeing. At Dow, we know that comfort means different things to different people in different contexts – whether they’re enjoying deep, restorative sleep, or simply resting and relaxing.
That’s why we work to understand how people experience comfort. Combining that with our scientific experience and technical know-how, we’ve produced a range of high-quality technologies that address different needs and expectations – so your customers can experience more restful nights and more productive days.
Curious about how we can enhance the comfort experience together? You can join us in our ComfortScience™ Studios – equipped with measuring technologies to evaluate and improve sleep solutions – to collaborate on the comfort that matters to your customers.

Comfort means different things to different people in different contexts.
Rest easy with our innovative bedding solutions
Sleep has a huge impact on health, well-being and happiness – which makes bedding especially important.
That’s where ComfortScience™ comes in. By combining our chemistry expertise with advanced data analysis, tests and technology, we’ve developed a varied range of bedding technologies to improve comfort and promote deeper, healthier sleep.
Wash in the morning, use in the evening
For allergy sufferers, busy parents, and carers, comfort is about trusting that the products we use every day will keep our families and ourselves healthy. It’s crucial to know that the materials used are clean, odorless, germ-free and allergen-free.
ComfortScience™ CLEAN enables peace of mind with quick-drying foam technology that maintains its shape – even after being washed and dried.

Keep cool, calm and comfortable
Feeling cool and fresh is key to being comfortable. When the materials around us capture heat and humidity, it’s difficult to feel well-rested – which is why we seek comfort and relief in products that remain cool over time.
This unique foam technology offers all the comfort of a memory-effect product but with a breathable skin that allows air to flow freely and heat to escape easily.

Feel supported with the lightest touch
Sometimes, simplicity is what’s needed when it comes to comfort – bringing it back to the core principle of cushioned products that support the body and provide comfort to even the lightest touch.
This innovative foam solution offers long-lasting performance to relieve pressure and support different body types at the same time.

Protect people and the planet, now and in the future
People find comfort in knowing they are making safe consumer choices. To respond to this growing desire for ecologically friendly materials and processes, we’ve developed an innovative circular material – made from polyurethane foam in end-of-life mattresses – which can be used in new bedding applications.
ComfortScience™ gives your customers the peace of mind that they have chosen a more responsible comfort solution.
Find comfort in being cared for, unconditionally
Products increasingly have the intelligence to listen, understand and respond to the changing needs of our bodies and minds.
Thanks to adaptive qualities that integrate with smart devices, ComfortScience™ SMART technology changes as and when you need it, letting you enjoy truly restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Wake up to a better tomorrow
We are committed to accelerating our sustainability journey towards a low carbon and circular future.
As part of this, we’re making the most of advanced or chemical recycling to transform hard-to-recycle post-consumer and post-industrial waste into sustainable feedstocks.
Our innovative mattress recycling program recycles polyurethane foam from end-of-life mattresses by bringing together every touchpoint in the value chain – including recycling experts, chemical innovators and leading foam manufacturers – to advance a circular future for mattresses.
Where comfort is engineered
At ComfortScience™ Studios, we join forces with scientists, manufacturers and brand owners to take comfort to the next level.
At our sites in Houston, USA, and Terneuzen, the Netherlands, 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 there, to co-create innovative new products that offer customizable comfort adapted to everybody, no matter their needs or preferences.
