ABSTRACT = {This article describes the effects of the modifi cation of polyurethane system with rapeseed oil-based polyol 
on the cell structure and physical-mechanical properties of conventional fl exible polyurethane foams. 
The foams were prepared by substituting a part of the petrochemical polyether-polyols mixture with the 
bio-polyol based on rapeseed oil. Selected physical-mechanical properties of these foams were examined and 
compared to the properties of reference foam. The properties such as apparent density, resilience, comfort 
factor and stress-strain characteristics were analyzed in compression tests. It was found that the modifi cation 
of polyurethane formulation with rapeseed oil-based polyol improves the selected properties of the fi nal 
products.},
