Abstract

A method of producing flexible polyether polyurethane foams, which have a substantially skeletal reticulated structure, is disclosed. When the flexible foam is produced by reacting a polyhydroxyl compound with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent by one-shot process, a catalyst and other additives, a mixture of (a) poly(oxyethylene-oxypropylene)polyether polyol containing 51 to 98% by weight of ethylene oxide component and (b) poly(oxyethylene-oxypropylene)polyether polyol containing not less than 51% by weight of propylene oxide component is used as the polyhydroxyl compound.
