Upolstry Foam

Upolstry Foam

Here is what you need to know.

Sofa cushions are often made of both FOAM and BATTING. Or Foam and feather padding. We dont currently offer the feather padding option but we have everything else you need to restore your favorite sofa or couch.

A LITTLE MORE PLUMP: Do you just need to give an old foam cushion a new life? Consider saving money and adding dacron badding to it. Search our site for Dacron or Batting. We have this product in 0.5 inch to 2.5 inches thick. But you can also layer it to get whatever thickness you need.

CUSTOM CUT: For pricing on poly foam that is custom cut, go here. Our Custom cut foam tool is not smart enough to help with the corner T shaped foam. If you send up a template we can easily cut any shape you need.

HOW TO PICK THE CORRECT FOAM

We sell a variety of foam. When you look on our website you will see a four digit number used as a descriptor, below is a break down of what those numbers mean in terms of quality and firmness. As always, we are here to assist. If you have any questions please call us and we will be happy to guide you in making the best choice for your project.

QUALITY

The first number you see on a piece of foam is often referred to as Density. This is misleading. It actually indicates "Quality."

1.1 Is a lower quality value product used for crafting and some light use furniture projects.
1.8 is a medium quality foam. It is often used for upholstery projects often used in DIY projects. It is not the highest quality but professionals will sometimes use 1.8 for customers concerned about price or when the task does not require a higher end foam.
2.6 is referred to as "Forever foam." This is the foam most people select when investing in a project that they expect to last for many many years. This is the "blue foam" professionals use when hired to fix your favorite chair or couch.

FIRMNESS

Foam firmness is valuated through a test called Indentation Load Deflection (ILD), also known as Indentation Force Deflection. The numbers below indicate how much force or weight it would take to compress the foam by on inch.

10lb = ultra soft. Used for cushion backs, crafting and foam toppers. The firmer foams are used more when comfort and structural integrity are required
34lb = Medium firmness. This is often used for couch cushions, dining room chairs, lounge chairs and loveseats. This foam is also utilized in boat cushions and Often used interior boat seating such as v-berth cushions. 34# can be used for seat backs as well. For sleeping, 34# is the most firm I personally will enjoy.
45lb = Firm. This is a firm foam and predominantly used by the professionals . It promotes structural integrity so cushions do not sag or dip. This is often topped with a softer foam or batting to give a cushion a softer feel while offering support.
65lb = Extra firm. The name says it all. This is the foam you want when you need substantial structural integrity and a very firm foam. Your tush will know you are sitting on firm foam for sure.
