Why a High Density Foam Pad Makes the Difference

A high density foam pad is the foundation of any cushion that needs to hold its shape year after year. Whether you're reupholstering a dining chair, building a window seat, or replacing worn-out patio cushions, denser foam resists sagging and keeps seating supportive long after softer fills have flattened.

What to Look For

• Density: Usually measured in pounds per cubic foot. Higher density generally means better durability, not necessarily a harder feel.
• Firmness: A firm foam pad suits seats and benches, while softer foam is more comfortable for backrests and pillows.
• Thickness: Thicker seat cushion foam adds comfort for daily sitting, and a thinner dense foam sheet works well for headboards and padded panels.

Popular Uses

Upholstery foam is a go-to for sofa seat replacements, RV and boat cushions, banquettes, a homemade foam mattress topper, and pet beds. Wrap your cushion foam in batting or dacron for a smoother, fuller look under fabric.
