Under normal, everyday usage, polyurethane foam does not pose a health risk for adults. However, some fire retardants used to tread the foam in baby mattresses (namely pentaBDE) can separate from the mattress and spread into the air.
Polyurethane foam is potentially dangerous to one's health. Polyurethane is dangerous to the respiratory system, and is deemed as toxic. It's better to go for another material that's safe, especially if the mattress is for kids.
Polyurethane foam pillows can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which may be harmful to health, especially for those with respiratory issues or sensitivities. It is recommended to choose pillows made with natural materials or certified low-VOC foam to reduce potential health risks.
CPI spray is made of Polyurethane Foam. Polyurethane Foam is made by adding water to polyurethane plastics.
There are do-it-yourself polyurethane foam installation kits for sale at Fomo Foam. The kits come with foam and dispensing guns. There is a guide to polyurethane foam application at How To's and More. There are seven steps and pictures for each step.
The peak heat release for a sofa made of polyurethane foam typically ranges from 500 to 1,000 kW/m², depending on the specific formulation and construction of the foam. This high heat release rate can pose significant fire hazards, as polyurethane foam can ignite quickly and contribute to rapid fire spread. Fire safety standards and treatments are crucial in mitigating these risks in upholstered furniture.

Absolutely. You can buy polyurethane foam at a place like this: http://www.uscomposites.com/foam.html
The medical uses of Polyurethane Foam include wound dressings for exudating wounds. You can see a list of them at http://www.thomasnet.com/products/polyurethane-foam-30683502-1.html
Polyurethane foam can be cleaned with a mixture of vinegar and water. Pour the solution on a soft cloth and rub the foam, rinse, and let dry.
HANDLING POLYURETHANE FOAM SAFELY1. Polyurethane foam is a by- product of the same process that is used to makepetroleum. It is highly flammable.2. Polyurethane foam ignites easily and burns rapidly. It should be kept awayopen flames and sparks.3.When it burns, polyurethane releases a great amount of heat and toxicfumes.4. Burning polyurethane can cause suffocation in a poorly ventilated area.5. Polyfunctional isocyanate and polyester polyol should be handled withgloves.6. DO NOT INGEST THE POLYURETHANE FOAM - some foams haveflame retardant additives that can be toxic if ingested. Whether or notthe foam you are working with contains them, it should not be ingestedor even placed in the mouth. (JUST LIKE ANY OTHERCHEMICAL!)

Polyurethane will kill you if you eat it.
