High Density Firm Upholstery Foam for Chair Cushion or Wheelchair Seat

High-density foam has a compression rate of 44lbs, providing the perfect balance of cushioning and stiffness. Despite its softness, it maintains firmness and support, allowing individuals to sit on it without causing excessive compression. Firmness is determined by compression, not density. If you want a cushion that is neither too hard nor too soft, you need to pay attention to the compression or ild number. Compression refers to the amount of pressure needed to compress a piece of foam by 25% and have it return to its original thickness.

For instance, a 4" thick foam piece that requires 33 lbs to compress it by 1" and return to 4" thickness has a 33 lb compression rating or indention load deflection (ild). All foam sheets are sold per sheet, not per yard. It is recommended to avoid using a box cutter and instead use a ballpoint pen or pencil to make an incision and tear it open. The durability of the foam is impressive, lasting 7 to 10 years.

Medium-density foam is perfect for firm yet comfortable cushions, with high-quality compression and materials that ensure longevity even under heavy weight. Made in the USA, it is ideal for oval and round poker tables, furniture cushions, boat cushions, car cushions, foam mattresses, and bedding support. The density is 1.8 with 44lb compression, boasting a 100% recovery rate and lasting from 3 to 7 years. Contact us for your custom cut foam needs.
