We are pleased to announce the launch of the CertiPUR-US® Shredded Foam Program. Shredded foam is commonly used in products like pillows, cushions, bean bag chairs, foam sacks, pet beds, or play furniture.
This program will authorize approved participants to use the CertiPUR-US® name and logo in connection with products that contain certified shredded flexible polyurethane foam. To be qualified, all the shredded flexible polyurethane foam in the product must be CertiPUR-US® certified.
- Read the CertiPUR-US® Shredded Foam Policy
- Complete the Application (Form D) (not live until October 15, 2026)
The CertiPUR-US® Shredded Foam Program will begin accepting applications when the 2027 CertiPUR-US® Annual Registration Renewal and Directory Listing Update period opens on November 1, 2026.
Please submit forms for both programs at the same time if relevant to your company.
The following parties are eligible to apply to the program:
Participating Foam Producers
The Applicant pours or produces flexible polyurethane foam, is already approved as a participating foam producer in the CertiPUR-US® Program and seeks approval to use the CertiPUR-US® mark or name on its own finished products containing shredded foam. Participating Foam Producers will not pay an additional fee annually to be part of the CertiPUR-US® Shredded Foam program.
Registered Manufacturers
The Applicant is registered with CertiPUR-US® to use the CertiPUR-US® name, logo, or related terms, does not itself produce the foam at issue, and purchases pre-shredded foam or foam it shreds in-house from one or more Participating Foam Producer(s) or Participating Foam Supplier(s) for use in finished products. Registered Manufacturers will be invoiced after review of their applications and each Registered Manufacturer must pay a recurring annual fee of $1,000 to obtain and maintain approval under the CertiPUR-US® Shredded Foam program. This fee is due each year, for so long as the Registered Manufacturer uses the CertiPUR-US® mark or name in connection with products containing shredded foam.
Registered Retailers
The Applicant is registered with CertiPUR-US® to use the CertiPUR-US® name, logo, or related terms; and re-sells products made with shredded foam that are produced by a Registered Manufacturer or Participating Foam Producer (who has registered with the CertiPUR-US® shredded foam policy) and labeled under the retailer’s own name, brand or private label. Registered retailers will not pay an additional fee to be part of the CertiPUR-US® Shredded Foam program.
