Replacing the foam in a seat, bench or mattress is mostly about two things: measuring accurately and choosing a foam that suits how the piece is used. We are a foam converter in Manchester and cut every piece ourselves.
Which foam?
| Foam | Density | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| White | 28 kg/m³ | Softer. Back cushions, toppers and lighter mattresses. |
| Blue high density | 33 kg/m³ | Firm. Seat cushions, sofas, benches, window seats and van seating. |
| Memory foam | 60 kg/m³ | Moulds to the body. Toppers and pressure relief. |
For anything you sit on every day, blue is usually the right choice. Our blue firm upholstery foam sheet comes in over 100 ready sizes from 1 to 6 inches thick.
How to measure
- Measure the space, not the old foam. Old foam shrinks and flattens with use, so measure the seat base, frame or cover instead.
- Length and width. Measure at the widest points. For a cushion going into a cover, many upholsterers cut the foam about 1 cm larger than the cover each way so the cover looks full.
- Thickness. Measure the depth of the cover or the space. A thicker seat feels softer and sits higher.
- Shapes. For curved or angled pieces, make a paper template and send us the measurements.
What we can cut
- One piece up to 80 x 46 inches (203 x 116 cm).
- Circles, rounded corners and bevelled edges on request.
- Larger areas are usually made from two pieces butted together.
For a size that isn't listed, send us your measurements and we'll quote.
