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.

Closing the loop for comfort

Through advanced or chemical recycling, hard-to-recycle post-consumer and post-industrial waste is transformed into sustainable feedstocks. End-of-life polyurethane products such as mattresses are broken down into their base compounds which can be used to manufacture new products.

This keeps end-of-life material out of the waste stream and reduces the need for non-renewable feedstocks.
