FoamTouch Upholstery Foam 2" x 24" x 72" High Density Cushion, white

(Maybe they're new since I bought, but I now see there are other sizes available.) I used this to reupholster 6 beat-up Ikea chairs that I got for free (roughly, top: 17", bottom: 13.5, depth: 15.25; 44/35/39 cm). If you measure carefully and layout efficiently, you can cut 4 chair covers in single pieces. The remaining two you can create by gluing together pieces of the leftovers. The 2" thickness of high density, 44 pound-rated, foam is great for firm but comfortable dining chairs. I can't speak to durability, though others have. My only gripe is that this is only available (on Amazon) in 2x24x72. It's possible to do 6 chairs with this size, but there was very little room for mistakes. It would be nice to have wider and/or longer options for a project like this, without having to buy 2 full pieces. To glue, spray each edge that you want to attach with 3M Super 77 adhesive. (Do it outside - it gets all over the place.) I made 3 or 4 sweeps, a few seconds each; you want the edge moistened, but not soaked. Wait 15 seconds. Line up the ends and push together. Alignment doesn't have to be perfect, but if you miss by a lot, you have a few seconds to pull apart and try again. Wait 30 seconds, until they stick together when suspended by one of the pieces. Give it a good smoosh so that there's contact along the whole length of the edge. Let the glue set for at least 30 minutes before using the glued piece on furniture. Works great. Even if you try not to spray yourself or touch any of the wet glue edges, you'll probably need some acetone to clean up your hands. To cut, the pros use specialty foam cutters. I tried their recommendation to substitute with reciprocating meat knives. It works but not well. I discovered it's much easier and more accurate to use a cheap utility knife with a sharp blade. Mark your lines with a Sharpie. Score the line with the knife using light/medium pressure - just a little into the surface, not all the way. Once scored, make 3 or 4 more slightly harder passes with the knife held vertically, separating along the score line with the fingers of your other hand. You'll get a line that's as true as your score line and reasonably clean - certainly good enough for spray gluing edges. I needed about 2 yards of fabric, which I got from a remainders pile for $20. A can of spray paint for the wood, and I have 6 decent dining chairs - much plusher, softer, and more attractive than the original Ikeas - for about $10 each.

I buy this foam for my dining table chairs it really good quality and comfortable

My couch is 25 years old but is in excellent cosmetic shape and I still like it. Unfortunately, the springs have lost much of their support. When sitting upon it, one would sink down a little too much, making it a little harder to get up, especially for older people. I inserted some thin plywood and that helped a bit was too hard by itself so I cut up a mattress topper and placed that on top of the plywood (then the couch cushions). That was better but not great. Since mattress toppers are usually made of some sort of memory foam, we were still sinking into the couch a little too much. Thus, thought I would try this polyurethane foam. Although not perfect, I have found this foam to be a marked improvement. I bought the 3" but may at some point try the 2" or even 1". Having used this foam every day since it was delivered, I can say there has definitely been an improvement in comfort and support, which is exactly what I wanted. It was very easy and quick to cut (I used a combination of scissors and electric knife). Only took a few moments. As for the product itself, I have no complaints. My only issue is how it works for me and my couch. Entering through the front door, the couch is one of the first things one sees and with this white foam elevating the cushions was quite noticeable. My couch has rather a busy floral pattern and fortunately I had a sheet I was not using with a similar pattern. Wrapping that sheet around the foam and tucking it in has improved the visual quite a bit, but it is still obvious that something is underneath the cushions. For now, I am getting more comfortable with the look and am quite pleased with the added comfort and support. Am considering trying some of the 1" or 2" foam at some point but expect that I would have to sacrifice some of the support with thinner foam. Not ready to try that yet. Just pleased to be getting more life out of a couch we like. It is much better than it was.

I purchased this foam to build a bed for camping. I was not sure what thickness to order so I went with the 6" because I thought it would be the most comfortable. This foam is a very firm foam so it was not as comfy as I hoped for. The 6" thick piece is too thick for comfort in my opinion. I ended up cutting it right in half for two 3" thick pieces and that is much more confortable for us. I think for a bed situation like for camping a 4" thick piece would have worked the best. Now I have an extra 6" piece that I am able to use in the studio to absorb sound. That was an expensive mistake to make and I think I learned my lesson. All in all at the end of the day, this foam is super easy to work with and is of good quality.

I recently acquired some chairs for my dining table and boy did they need some help. They were sad, uncomfortable chairs! I did a lot of research on different foams and what type is the best type for dining room chairs that will receive moderate to heavy use, and settled on this one. I knew I wanted a high density foam because it lasts longer, and I wanted firm so that over time when it softens up, it wouldn't become too soft. The price compared to similar foam was much better, and cheaper than even lesser quality foam from local craft stores. The foam arrived in a roll, wrapped in Saran Wrap type wrapping, and I unrolled it immediately so it would have time to "breathe" and become more flat so I could more easily work with it, which took about 2 days but I'm sure you could work with t sooner. I used a serrated bread knife and it cut the shapes out easily. I was a little worried because one of the previous reviews said this was soft, but mine is quite firm. We eat dinner at the table nightly, and the chairs are much more comfortable now. It does sink a little when you sit in it, but it's kind of in the way a memory foam mattress does. Nothing extreme. I am a big fan so far and hopefully it holds up as well as claimed. I will update this post a year from now with how they are holding up. I enclosed a picture of the before and after so you can have an idea of how thick or thin you are wanting your foam. 2 inches is perfect for our needs. *Update* feb 2017 The foam is still holding up really well and we eat dinner at the table 5-7 nights a week and do crafts with my tots during the day. It's still firm, not sagging or lumpy and the chairs look the same as the day I refinished them. Very happy with my purchase still and definitely keeping the rating 5 stars!

Perfect! Nice and firm.

I was looking for just the right foam to replace my dining room seat cushions and fabric. . I have 6 large oak chairs in my dining room. The chairs needed to have the seat cushions and fabric replaced. Over the years the old cushions had flattened considerably and the boards that hold the seats to the chair had deteriorated. I looked at having a "professional" do the job but it was so costly I decided I would do it myself. I measured the seats and purchased wood at the local home improvement center. Used the old wood to make a stencil and cut each to size. Was debating whether to use 2" or 3" foam. I wanted the seat firm. The cost of purchasing pre-made foam pieces was also crazy. I purchased the 2" foam here at Amazon. Used the cut wood pieces as a stencil and cut the foam using an electric knife (very important to have one to cut foam). The rest was easy. Cut material from a pattern I had made using an old piece of sheet. Laid down the material, good side down, and added some batting material to cover the seat as well as the sides of foam and wood. Stapled tightly in place. The results were amazing. Better than a professional and minus the cost. Great products here on Amazon. I even purchased the staple gun here as well as the batting. The material was purchased at craft store.

I had needed to reupholster my vintage bent bamboo loveseat and had researched numerous different manufacturers that offered 6in foam pads within a reasonable price range. In the past I have bought 6in foam pads that were barely 4.5-5in thick, no matter where I purchased it from. I recently came across this one on Amazon and I was intrigued but certainly skeptical. It didn't come in the size I needed so I had to purchase a longer size, which wasn't a big deal for me. After measuring out what I needed, I simply used my electric knife from 1982- and it cut as smoothly as butter! I have to admit, I couldn't be more impressed by this product in more ways tan one! Usually, these products have to "sit" for 24-48hrs to obtain their "full potential thickness" (which is basically a joke so in 48hrs you're too frustrated to deal with the hassle to return it) BUT not with this product! The moment I broke the seal of plastic it swelled up 300x than what I pulled out of the delivery box and I knew that I finally found the perfect product! By the 2nd hour, it was already 6in thick! It is very comfortable, not too firm but firm enough! My daughter has already declared it as "her reading couch " and as been sitting in it for 6-8hrs-throughout entire night reading and it shape returns to looking brand new, the moment she gets up and walks away! I am so impressed with this product that I am planning to replace the sagging cushions on my sofa (that is barely 2yrs old by the way) and I can not wait! No regrets!
