Abstract The present invention is directed to a process for the production of a flexible polyurethane foam comprising reacting (a) an organic polyisocyanate, and (b) a coupled polyol which consists essentially of the reaction product of an organic polyisocyanate and an organic compound having a hydroxy functionality of at least 2 and a primary hydroxy group content of at least 30%, the ratio of hydroxyl groups in said organic compound to isocyanate groups being greater than 1, (c) in the presence of (i) a blowing agent, (ii) a catalyst, and (iii) a foam stabilizer, said foam stabilizer being capable of producing a flexible polyurethane foam meeting the standard specifications for high resilience polyurethane foam as set forth in ASTM D-3770-79, when used in a foam formulation based on toluene diisocyanate and either (A) a polymer polyol prepared by polymerizing one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in a polyether polyol, or (B) a dispersion of polyurea and/or polyhydrazodicarbonamide in a hydroxyl group containing material.
