What density do you recommend for rebonded foam?

@FoamWizard 7 күн бұрын

Great question! Our Super Rebond Foam carries a density of 8.0 and can be found here in a square or rectangular shape: foamonline.com/product-category/foam/rebond-foam/. Our Medium Firm Rebond Foam Light carries a density of 5.0 and can be found here in a square or rectangular shape: foamonline.com/product-category/foam/rebond-foam-light/. Of the two, Super Firm Rebond Foam is a denser and therefore better quality material.

Thanks for the info. We will be calling you soon. We bought a high end nicely constructed couch, but cannot stand the feathers and having to keep re-fluffing the cushions. We love the shape, material, construction and color of our couch, so this is the perfect way for us to upgrade what we have. All our cushions have zipper access. Very excited. Thanks for your awesome video.

Thanks so much for your comment! We're glad you found the video helpful. It sounds like you have a beautiful couch, and upgrading the cushions is a great idea to enhance your comfort. Zipper access makes it so much easier to customize! If you have any questions or need more tips as you go through the process, feel free to reach out. We're also excited for you!

What about light gray foam? It is dense, lite weight, water resistant. Harley-Davidson uses for shipping windshields with their motorcycles. I have been trying to figure out what type of foam it is. Thanks.

This was very informative and well presented. Looking to replace couch cushions . I'm thinking Qualex . Are you able to cut to specific sizes?

@FoamWizard 29 күн бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! Qualux foam is the most premium option for couch seat cushions. It runs on the firmer side. Yes, we can cut to almost any shape and size!

@stevenm2949 Ай бұрын

What would be the ideal for a sofa. I presume around 1.8 to 2 lb? Thanks for an excellent video

@FoamWizard Ай бұрын

Great question! For sofas, there are 4 foam types commonly used - High Density (1.8 lb, good quality), Lux (2.0 lb, very good quality), High Resilience (2.7 lb, excellent quality) and Qualux (3.0 lb, premium quality). Any of these would work just fine for a sofa! It would depend on your budget and how long you'd like the foam to last (the higher the quality, the longer the foam will last).

If i want to get a replacement cushion for my current sofa but i dont know the ILD firmness number, what do i do? How do i find out the firmness ILD number so i can get the exact same firmness for new cushions?

@FoamWizard 3 күн бұрын

That's a great question! Most manufacturers utilize High Density Foam at a firmness of Medium Firm. The actual foam piece within your cushion cover may have part numbers written in a felt pen that indicate the density and ILD numbers of the foam (usually 4 digits). This can help you indicate what foam type and firmness the manufacturer utilized! You also may be able to find the model of your sofa on the manufacturer's website. Under the product description, the contents of the foam may be explained. If you don't know the manufacturer of your sofa, you can typically find the name on a tag that's sewn into the seat underneath the cushions or at the very bottom of the couch itself.

I do have a question about the rebond. About a year ago I bought rebond from you guys and it was white. Was the rebond that I purchased the same thing as the “hard foam?”

@FoamWizard 9 күн бұрын

Yes, that's correct! That foam type is now referred to as "Hard Foam" and can be found here in a rectangle or square shape - foamonline.com/product-category/foam/hard-foam/. It's offered in all custom shapes and sizes!

@mdwv872 6 күн бұрын

@ thanks my man! By the way, I’m a powerlifter and I’ve used that foam on a couple of custom benches that I’ve made for bench pressing. Handled massive weights on them and it’s by far the best foam I’ve ever used on a bench.

@FoamWizard 5 күн бұрын

@@mdwv872 That's so great to hear! Hard Foam is definitely a specialty and we're glad it worked for your bench pressing! Hard Foam and Rebond Foam are the two foam types we typically recommend for that type of application. If you need any assistance with anything at all, please be sure to let us know!

Charcoal foam sounds ideal for both sound and odour absorption of flatulence in seating cushion applications!

@FoamWizard Ай бұрын

Charcoal foam is commonly used for sound absorption! Charcoal foam is not used for odor absorption, though, because it does not have activated Charcoal as an ingredient. It's referred to as Charcoal foam due to its color - not physical properties!

@ thank you great Wizard 😊 I shall continue my quest for finding a flatulence resistant foam.

If you were to pick a foam that would absorb the impact of a golf ball without bouncing back as far and staying around an 1” or 2” which would you choose?

@FoamWizard 2 ай бұрын

Great questions! Memory foam is most commonly used for golf simulators. We offer three different Memory foam qualities - Memory Foam Premium, Memory Foam Standard, and Memory Foam Light. 2" would be more common than 1"!

i am looking at your website and would like to buy something for my needs if i may explain, i am 6'3 and 290lbs back in october 11, 2023 i received a 3" thick piece of foam measuring 22" by 22" from a different retailer (Density 2.24 LB/CF ) - i sit on it every day for 8-12 hours while working from home 7 days a week it already has flat spots from my butt and near the knees - and when i sit on it first thing in the morning, after about 20 minutes its flat and my butt hurts and my back hurts which foam from your site would be best for my situation? cost is not an issue i was thinking that the REBOND foam at 8.00 lb/cf might be too hard/stiff ? would the DUNLOP LATEX at 5.90 lb/cf be a good choice for my needs ? thank you in advance

@FoamWizard Ай бұрын

Great questions! Based on your description, the most common foam type for your application would be Qualux foam at a firmness of Extra Firm. Qualux foam carries a density of approximately 3.0 lbs per cubic foot and an ILD of 61 at a firmness of Extra Firm. We can produce this foam type and firmness to any shape and size needed. Qualux foam can be found here in a square or rectangle shape: foamonline.com/product-category/foam/qualux-foam/. Let us know if you need any further assistance!
