Abstract: A foam article comprising: a foam element; and a trim cover comprising a finished outer layer and an inner layer in contact with the foam element, the inner layer comprising a material having a kinetic coefficient of friction with respect to the foam element of less than about 0.75 when measured pursuant to ASTM D1894-00 using the conditions set out in GM9206P. The foam article is advantageously suited for use in a vehicular application such as a car seat (seat bottom, seat back and the like). The invention allows for the production of improved quality products while mitigating and obviating the need for additional material and/or labor costs.
