FOAMEX LAUNCHES THREE NEW PRODUCTS AT ISPA 2004

Specialty Foams Leader Introduces Reflex Bounce™, Reflex Memory™ and PillowFlex®


INDIANAPOLIS – Foamex International Inc. (NASDAQ: FMXI), the leader in specialty foams, will launch three new products at ISPA 2004 - Reflex Bounce, Reflex Memory and PillowFlex. These advanced cushioning materials are specially designed to meet customer demand for bedding products that are more comfortable, durable and attractive to consumers.

Reflex Bounce, Reflex Memory and PillowFlex, were developed using the company's patented Variable Pressure Foaming (VPFSM) technology. VPF enables Foamex to produce ultra-soft, super-supportive foams that make bedding products more luxurious, consistent, and longer-lasting than standard foams, fiberfills and other specialty foam products.

Foamex's Director of Marketing and Strategy, Vishal Malhotra says, "Today's sophisticated, health-conscious consumers are demanding greater comfort than ever before. These new comfort foams were designed to provide manufacturers and retailers an edge in a highly competitive marketplace, allowing them to differentiate their products and better meet customer needs."

Reflex Bounce
An extension of Foamex's flagship furniture brand Reflex®, Reflex Bounce is a highly supportive, resilient foam designed to mimic the "bounce" of a conventional spring mattress. It eliminates the need for innersprings and provides a cost-effective solution to reduce pressure points and motion-transfer problems that can plague restful and restorative sleep. Through a variety of surface modification processes, Foamex can customize Bounce to achieve varying degrees of support for customers to provide comfortable, rejuvenating rest. Using Reflex Bounce in their mattress designs gives the mattress manufacturing facilities the potential to enhance their production units by up to 25 percent.

Reflex Memory
Also a Reflex extension, Reflex Memory is a premium viscoelastic foam that offers exceptional personal comfort. Providing a softer initial feel and responding more fluidly to body temperature than other competitive visco-foams, it offers a highly personalized sleep-surface that supports healthful rest. Targeted to customers who demand high value at a reasonable cost, Reflex Memory retains its viscoelasticity longer than other competitive visco-foams, delivering exceptional quality for the life of the mattress.

PillowFlex
PillowFlex is designed for the most demanding consumers who want opulent, luxurious sleep surfaces. Used as the mattress topping, PillowFlex is softer than conventional foams, imparting an exceptional invigorating feel and comfort. PillowFlex is highly durable in resisting body impressions that can reduce comfort in a mattress over time. An added benefit to manufacturers is that PillowFlex does not clog machinery in flanging, surging and quilting operations, like most fibers, thereby reducing equipment damage, downtime and maintenance costs.

Reflex Bounce, Reflex Memory and PillowFlex, as well as Foamex's leading industry brands, Sensus™, Quiltflex™ and Resilitex™, all of which are produced using VPF, will be on view at ISPA in Indianapolis, Indiana, from March 24 to 27 at booth #1514.
