Why You Should Consider Home-based Production of Flexible Foam Business

Flexible Foam Business – products like mattresses, pillows, rug underlay, cushions, shoulder pads, furniture, and fittings are all end-products of flexible foam.

Incidentally, the production process of flexible foam is as simple as ABC. And it doesn’t require more than a few thousand naira to start. The simplest formulation of flexible foam can be done right in your backyard, and most, if not all the chemicals required can be sourced locally.

With all the end products that can be gotten from flexible foam, you don’t need a crystal ball to know that the production of flexible foam will be a profitable business. Take for instance mattress. Yes, mattresses last for years, but isn’t it true that every person who leaves his or her parents/’oga’/relatives/guardian’s house to live on their own, buy one or more foams?

Machinery and Equipment

With just a mixer, mixing drum, and an accurate weighing scale, you are already a bonafide foam manufacturer. No expensive or sophisticated equipment is required at the small-scale level.

The foam you will end up making is called Blocks. You can specialize in making the blocks and selling them off like that.

Alternatively, you may choose to do the following:

Cut the block to mattress sizes
Make them to sheeting sizes

Most of the big mattress manufacturers in Nigeria do not produce foam. They buy the foam blocks and add finishing touches to make them into the mattress.

Space Required

As stated earlier, you do not need to own a factory space or pay through your nose to acquire a shop before you can make foam blocks. A little open space in your backyard or any small space either open or covered is enough for your foam production.
