Abstract: A method for making an article (1) including at least a sheet melamine (2, 2?) foam piece with thickness sufficiently thin to exhibit flexibility and no flexural elasticity, which consists in: cutting by peeling a melamine foam block (40) into a strip with thickness sufficiently thin to exhibit flexibility and no flexural elasticity, and in making the article (1) using at least one sheet melamine foam piece derived from the strip. An article obtained by the inventive method can be used for many applications, in particular, in for surface cleaning, where it can advantageously be substituted for a standard double-faced sponge substantially identically. Such an article exhibits, when used as a towelette, flexibility and no flexural elasticity which makes it easy to use. Moreover, it is more hygienic than a double-faced sponge since it is disposable.

Abstract: The invention concerns the application of a flexible melamine foam (7) having an indentation hardness stabilised to less than 300 N for 40% compression ratio, in the production of cushioning (2c, 3c, 4c). It also concerns items of upholstery (2a, 3a, 4a) for the seat base, back, headrest and legrest of a seat (1), and any other part of a seat, bed or any other element designed for comfort.
