Foam

Because we stock full sheets in a range of sizes and densities we can cut foam for any use you can think of – from upholstery to pet beds to camper vans to classic cars and more!

We’ll cut your foam accurately in our shop into any straight or curved shape, although for wedge shapes we will get this custom-cut from our supplier. if you need a weird and wonderful piece of foam, just bring us a template and we can help.

Foam ready to cut in store

We stock a huge range of foam in store, in sheets from 0.25 inches up to 5 inches deep and in a choice of different densities

Further options are also available to order if what we have isn’t quite what you need. This includes variable depths such as wedges.

if we have the foam you want in store we can cut to your measurements or to your template. We can also bond together foam of different densities if needed, to create a custom result. We can wrap your foam cushions with wadding, stockinette or both if required, to create a softer silhouette that’s also much easier to slip into a cover.  

Please note we cannot guarantee that we can cut the foam while you wait, especially if we are very busy. Foam that is a more complex shape or needs wrapping with stockinette will also take longer, so please phone ahead to check availability or be prepared to leave your order with us.

What do you need to bring in?

We will need either measurements (We can work in either cms or inches) a template, or an existing cushion and cover to cut from. Our foam is priced by volume so it is important to have accurate details.

Measurements

If the foam you need is a regular shape, like a square or a rectangle, your measurements will be fine. Please check carefully that the shape is as regular as it looks. It is a good idea to measure at least 3 points across the shape (each end and the centre) to ensure it is the same all the way along.

Template

For any special or irregular shape, for example a cushion to fit a window seat or a custom cushion, a template will be better. You can cut a template from an old cardboard box, from lining paper or from newspaper. Please measure as accurately as you can and check your template fits really well so that we can get the best result for you.

Your existing cushions

For new cushions to replace your existing ones, please bring in the complete cushion, with the cover if possible. Foam can be a tight fit, so we can help you by refilling your cushions with the new foam inner, if required. We can also replace feather or hollow fibre cushions with foam. This will give a firmer result but gives your seats a longer life. We are also able to obtain replacement feather or hollow fibre cushions if this is what you prefer, and will quote for this on request.
