upholstery foam cushion
A flat, saggy seat can make even beautiful fabric look tired. The right upholstery foam cushion restores shape, support and comfort, whether you're reviving a vintage armchair, refreshing a window seat or building custom bench pads. Before you cut into new fabric, start with what's underneath.
What to Look for in Upholstery Foam
Density and Firmness
Density relates to durability, while firmness describes how the cushion feels when you sit. High density foam generally holds its shape longer, making it a smart choice for everyday sofa and dining seats. Softer foam padding works well for backrests and decorative pillows.
Thickness and Size
Measure your frame carefully. Seat cushions usually need more depth than back cushions, and cutting slightly oversized helps fabric covers fit snugly.
Matching Foam to Your Project
- Indoor furniture: Choose supportive seat cushion foam for sofas, chairs and ottomans.
- Outdoor seating: Look for quick-drying outdoor cushion foam designed to handle moisture.
- Custom shapes: Foam sheets for upholstery can be trimmed for benches, headboards and window seats.
