foam cutting near me

If you have been searching for foam cutting near me, you are probably staring at a flat sofa cushion, a worn bench seat, or a new window seat that needs filling. Before you head to a local shop, it helps to know what to ask for. A few minutes of planning can save you from buying the wrong foam.

What to Know Before You Get Foam Cut to Size

Measure Carefully

Record the length, width, and thickness of each cushion. Many upholsterers add a little extra to each dimension so the cover fits snugly. Note any curves or angled corners, too.

Choose the Right Foam

• High density foam holds up to daily sitting on sofas and dining chairs.
• Softer foam suits back cushions and decorative pillows.
• Quick-drying foam is made for patio and boat cushions.
