As the smart home industry upgrades to high-end, comfort, and environmental protection, foam, as the core functional component of smart home products, has been widely used in smart sofas, mattresses, smart seats, air purifiers and other products.
It needs to take into account multiple needs such as comfort, environmental protection, durability, and silence to fit the personalized experience of the home scene.
Shenhua has been deeply involved in the field of foam for 22 years, has precise insight into the pain points of the smart home industry, and focuses on the special research and development and customization of smart home foam.
With the core of “comfortable fit, environmental protection and harmlessness, long-lasting durability, silent noise reduction”, we create high-end foam solutions covering all home scenarios, empower home quality upgrades, and become the core supplier of many leading smart home companies.
While deeply exploring the field of smart home foam, Shenhua found that the industry generally faces four core pain points.
Home foam needs to be both soft, comfortable and long-lasting. Traditional products are prone to collapse, deformation and aging, which affects the user experience and service life. Smart home products are mostly closed structures, and foam easily evaporates harmful substances, affecting the environmental protection and safety of the home. There is a strong demand for silence in home scenes, and traditional foam has poor sound insulation and shock absorption effects and cannot block product operating noise and collision noise. Different smart home products have various shapes, and the foam customization accuracy is insufficient, making it difficult to adapt to special-shaped and personalized design needs.
Relying on 22 years of technological accumulation, Shenhua has established a special research and development team for smart home foam, and collaborates with smart home companies to carry out joint research and development to overcome core problems such as formula optimization, silent structure design, and precision customization.
Over the past 22 years, smart home foam technology has continued to iterate.
In 2020, environmentally friendly and comfortable home foam was launched, using medical-grade environmentally friendly base materials, no formaldehyde and no VOC emissions, and passed the national environmental product certification, adapting to home health needs; in 2022, high-resilience anti-collapse foam technology was developed to optimize the cell structure, with a compression rebound rate of more than 98%. After 50,000 cycles of pressing, there is still no collapse or deformation, solving the pain point of insufficient durability of traditional foam; 2023
In 2024, the company launched silent and noise-reducing composite foam, which improves sound insulation and shock absorption performance by 50%, effectively blocks product operation and collision noise, and is suitable for smart home appliances and soft furnishing scenarios; in 2024, the entire range of smart home foam will pass green product certification and be applied in batches to smart sofas, mattresses, air purifiers, smart bathrooms and other products, serving more than 90 smart home companies, covering tens of millions of households.
Based on the needs of all smart home scenarios, Shenhua has created three major smart home foam series, taking into account comfort, environmental protection, durability and silence. Each product has undergone rigorous environmental testing, durability testing and silent testing to ensure that it meets the high-end needs of home scenarios.
The R&D director of a leading smart home company commented: “Shenhua’s smart home foam is not only soft and comfortable, environmentally friendly and harmless, but also extremely durable. It adapts to the special-shaped design of our smart sofas, and the mute effect is far beyond expectations, which greatly enhances the market competitiveness of our products.”
The soft furnishing comfort foam series is mainly soft, comfortable, long-lasting and durable, and is suitable for smart sofas, mattresses, pillows, seats and other soft furnishing products.
It uses a highly elastic and environmentally friendly base material, optimized cell structure, both softness and support, fits the human body curve, and relieves fatigue from sitting and lying down for a long time; it has excellent anti-collapse and anti-aging properties, no deformation and no odor after long-term use. It also passes environmental testing and has no formaldehyde and no VOC emissions, creating a healthy and comfortable home soft furnishing experience; it can be accurately customized according to the shape and size of soft furnishing products, and can adapt to personalized designs such as special shapes and arcs.
The smart home appliance foam series focuses on silent sealing and environmental protection adaptation, and is suitable for home appliances such as air purifiers, smart speakers, smart bathrooms, and sweeping robots.
It adopts environmentally friendly sealing base material and has excellent sealing, sound insulation and shock absorption properties, which can effectively block the operating noise of home appliances and reduce vibration damage to furniture. It also has good insulation and high temperature resistance properties, adapting to the complex environment inside home appliances to avoid aging failure. It has no volatile harmful substances, complies with home environmental protection standards, and is suitable for airtight home appliance structures to ensure home air safety.
The home protective foam series focuses on safety protection and convenient adaptation, and is suitable for home protection scenarios such as wardrobes, cabinets, doors and windows, and children’s furniture.
Made of soft and environmentally friendly base material, it has excellent cushioning, anti-scratch, and anti-collision properties, which can effectively protect the corners of furniture, avoid collision damage, and prevent children from accidental collision injuries. It has good stickiness and cutability, and can be flexibly cut and pasted according to the protection scene, and is easy to install. The color can be customized according to the furniture style, taking into account practicality and aesthetics, and adapting to different home decoration tones.
Relying on 22 years of service experience, Shenhua has built a full-chain customized service system of “demand research – solution design – sample proofing – mass production – after-sales follow-up” in response to the personalized and diversified needs of the smart home industry, combined with the characteristics of the home scene, to provide integrated foam solutions for smart home companies and end users.
Before sales, we set up a dedicated smart home service team to deeply understand the company’s product research and development needs and home scene adaptation needs, issue customized solutions, and provide professional consultation on material selection, size optimization, silent upgrades, etc.; during sales, we implement rapid prototyping services, and the sample delivery time is shortened to 48 days
hourly, we can quickly iterate and optimize based on customer feedback to ensure that the product meets expectations; after-sales, we have established a special service system for smart home foam, equipped with professional engineers to quickly respond to consultations and problem solving, conduct regular product use return visits, assist companies in optimizing product application plans, and provide installation and maintenance guidance for end users.
In the future, Shenhua will further deepen the research and development of smart home foam technology, focus on the trend of intelligent and healthy smart homes, and develop cutting-edge products such as smart temperature-controlled foam, antibacterial and anti-mite foam, and adapt to emerging scenarios such as smart soft furnishings and healthy home appliances; upgrade customization
production capacity, improve the precision and efficiency of special-shaped foam customization to meet the personalized needs of homes; collaborate with smart home companies to carry out joint innovation, intervene in product research and development in advance, create foam solutions simultaneously, and continue to use high-quality foam products to upgrade the quality of home life.
