for polyurethan foam...

I want to use it at the environment of 60 and 50~70% humidity.

At this environment, polyurethan foam can be durable for long time?

Polyurethane foam comes in polyester and polyether varieties.  One is much
more durable, believe it is the polyether.  If fire safety is a concern in
the application, consider melamine foam instead.

The chemical stability is excellent. 60 degrees fahrenheit is very tame.
One estimate I heard was easily 15 to 20 years. It will not yellow
immediately, but can pick up fumes and stain like that over the years as
will any white open cell foam.

Whoops.. sorry,  the above applies to melamine foam.

I defer to  Noral Stewart's comment.
