Furniture Program
AFPF used two ads to continue our successful furniture campaign.
These bold black and white ads encouraged furniture industry professionals
to request or download AFPF's The Furniture Industry's Guide
to Today's' Flexible Polyurethane Foam and Millennium Report on
Engineered Comfort. Click
here to view the two new ads appearing in UDM and Furniture/Today.
Our AFPF website was listed weekly in Furniture/Today's
e-commerce yellow pages as an "excellent resource for
educational material on FPF: The #1 cushioning material for upholstered
furniture. Read/download articles, publications..."
Click
here for a copy of the 5-page article, "The Right
Foam Moves Motion Furniture -- Off the Sales Floor!" which appeared

share with your upholstered furniture industry customers.
