Open Cell vs. Closed Cell Foam Saddle Pads: The Hidden Physics of Equine Comfort

The primary difference between open-cell and closed-cell foam saddle pads lies in their structural density and performance mechanics. Closed-cell foam is dense and firm, providing excellent stability and moisture resistance but often trapping heat. Open cell foam (like memory foam) is softer and more breathable, allowing for better contouring, though generic versions can ‘bottom out’ […]
