High Density Upholstery Foam for Chair Cushion and Wheelchair Seat

Foam with a high density has a compression rate of 44lbs, offering just the right balance of cushioning and firmness. It is soft yet maintains its support without compressing too easily when someone sits on it. The firmness of the foam is determined by its compression, not its density. To avoid cushions that are rock hard or mattresses that sink when sat on, it's important to check the compression or ILD number. Compression refers to the amount of pounds needed to compress a piece of foam by 25% and still have it bounce back to its original thickness.

For instance, a 4" thick piece of foam that requires 33 lbs to compress it by 1" and then return to 4" has a compression rating of 33 lbs or ILD (Indentation Load Deflection). All foam sheets are sold per sheet, not per yard. It is advisable to open the foam sheet with a ballpoint pen or pencil rather than a box cutter. This ensures it remains intact.

The durability of the foam is impressive, lasting anywhere from 7 to 10 years. Medium density foam is primarily used for firm yet comfortable cushions, offering high-quality compression and materials to withstand significant weight over time.

This foam is made in the USA and is ideal for oval and round poker tables, furniture cushions, boat cushions, car cushions, foam mattresses, and bedding support. With a density of 1.8 and a 44lb compression rate, it boasts a 100% recovery rate and can last between 3 to 7 years. Contact us for any custom cut requirements you may have.
