custom cut foam cylinder

A custom cut foam cylinder is the secret behind bolsters that hold their shape, neck rolls that actually support, and daybed pillows that look tailored instead of slumped. Ordering foam cut to your exact length and diameter means no trimming, no lumpy batting, and a crisp fit inside the cover you sew.

Where a Foam Cylinder Shines

Round foam rolls work anywhere you want a firm, sculpted edge:

• Bolster pillow forms for sofas, beds and window seats
• Neck roll foam for headrests, yoga props and reading pillows
• Arm rolls and back supports for daybeds and benches

How to Choose the Right Foam

Measure Carefully

Measure the finished cover's length and circumference, then divide the circumference by 3.14 to find the diameter. Many sewists size the insert slightly larger for a plump, wrinkle-free look.

Pick a Density and Firmness

A high density foam cylinder keeps its shape through daily leaning and lasts longer, while softer foam feels cozier for decorative pillows. Think about how the piece will be used before you choose.
