At Karo we manufacture all our polyurethane injection molded seat foam in-house using state-of-the-art foam plant technology. This highly controlled process allows us to monitor the characteristics of every seat to ensure the best quality and comfort for your office chair. To further improve the overall comfort of our chairs, we have developed our own dual-density foam that we use for specific ranges and all our orthopedic chairs.
Before you purchase an office chair, you need to understand the consequences of sitting on the wrong chair. Rather, select a chair that is ergonomically correct for you.
For our casino seating, durability is critical as these chairs are typically used 24/7. For this reason, some of our high-end chair ranges include injection molded foam for both the seat and backrest.
