ILD also known as IFD (Indention force deflection) is a measure of fitmness. To test it you use a 12" x 12" x 4" thick piece of foam and the amount of weight it takes to compress is 1/4 of it's thickness or 1" is the ILD number so a 32 ild would means it took 32 pounds on an 8" circle (I think) to compress the foam 1". Hope that helps. Foam density is the foam weight per cubic foot.
