upholstery foam 2x24x72

A sheet of upholstery foam 2x24x72 is one of the most versatile cuts you can keep on hand for DIY projects. At 2 inches thick, 24 inches wide and 72 inches long, it is sized to cover a full bench, a window seat or a daybed pad in one piece, or to be trimmed into several smaller cushions with fewer seams and less waste.

Where a 2-Inch Foam Sheet Works Best

Two-inch foam gives a comfortable layer of padding without adding bulk, which makes it a popular choice for:

• Entryway, kitchen and banquette bench cushions
• Padded headboards and wall panels
• Chair seats, ottoman tops and pet beds
• Window seats and long storage benches

What to Look For

Density and Firmness

Higher-density foam generally holds its shape longer under daily use, while firmness determines how the seat feels. For seating, a firmer, high-density option is usually best; for headboards and backrests, a softer feel is fine.

Wrapping and Fabric

Consider adding a layer of batting before upholstering to soften edges and help your fabric lie smoothly over the foam.
