A direct and simple method to control cell size in a polyurethane foam is disclosed. Polyurethane foam is made by mixing prepolymer with foam-forming ingredients comprising isocyanate and water which react to give carbon dioxide. The reaction is driven by a catalyst and results in a foam structure with cells of a particular size. Using the addition of a pre-determined amount of mineral oil, the coalescence of neighboring cells of the foam structure may be advantageously controlled to form a cell structure with a desired average cell size.
