These new velvets may be ordered in any SIS Futon Covers product to create the most sumptuous futon covers, pillows, duvet covers and window treatments imaginable.

Also announced, effective for January 1999, SIS Futon Covers will no longer be maintaining a showroom at the San Francisco Market. According to SIS Futon Covers President Shari Hammer — “It was a difficult decision because we really enjoy traveling to San Francisco — especially in January. But to protect our current West Coast customers, we are no longer seeking new accounts in California and Oregon and opted to close the showroom.”

Comfort Research has recently introduced a breakthrough product called the Polymorphic Poof Chair. The chair is similar to a beanbag, however it is filled with shredded urethane foam, rather than polystyrene like the old beanbags. This new product comes in a rainbow of colors, and is covered in heavy poly-cotton twill, which, along with the seams being double stitched, will allow for years of enjoyment and comfort.

The creators of this chair had owned beanbags, but were tired of the chairs going flat after a short period of time and even having them sometimes blow out at the seams. That’s when they decided a high quality cloth beanbag makes so much sense. Now they needed to combat the problem of them going flat. The urethane foam filling was the answer. The urethane foam also made the chair much more comfortable.

The Polymorphic Poof Chair has already been touted “The most comfortable chair on earth, maybe even the universe.” This new revolution in comfort designed furnishings is selling very well in futon and specialty shops nationwide. It is a great accessory item for any futon shop.

Federal Foam Technologies, Inc., headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, announces development of a futon that will deliver an unprecedented combination of plushness, superior cradling, improved pressure distribution, exceptional durability and outstanding resilience.

This exciting new futon is constructed exclusively with “Reflex™ Polymer Cushioning”, a product superior to traditional foam.

Reflex™ Polymer Cushioning’s breakthrough technology offers the highest quality cushioning for upholstered furniture, featuring superior surface appeal, extended retention of height and shape and resistance to uneven wear. Federal Foam Technologies will guarantee the performance of Reflex™ Polymer Cushioning 100% in residential furniture seat and back cushioning. All Reflex™ Polymer Cushioning meets CA 117, UFAC and AFMA standards.

The combination of Reflex™ Polymer Cushioning and its highly engineered design creates a comfortable transition of an outer layer of softness to an inner layer of support.

The Reflex™ futon is now available from Federal Foam Technologies to interested distributors.
