Order Your Foam!Select the Perfect Density & Softness
Our premium quality polyurethane foam is available in a range of depths and densities; the higher the "HR" number the stiffer the foam. For example, HR22 is extra-soft, HR70 is extra firm. The most popular upholstery foams are HR33 and HR45. HR45 provides sturdy support without sacrificing comfort. HR33 is considerably softer. Most sofas and chairs are manufactured using HR33 or a combination of HR45 and HR33. Some prefer the cushier feel of HR33 for seat backs. HR45 is used for seat bottoms where a little more support is preferable.

Boat owners and commercial fishermen often choose an even stiffer foam, such as HR55, for galley seating and settees. The softer HR33 is popular for marine mattresses. One rule of thumb when selecting foam: the softer the foam, the thicker it needs to be. For example, two inches of an extra stiff foam might be adequate, but you'll simply "bottom out" when sitting on two inches of an extra soft foam.
Hot Press & Cold Press Foams
Most high quality polyurethane foams are processed using temperatures up to 250° C. This sort of foam is then cured and cut to size.
During this hot mold production process a manufacturer will adjust the properties of the polyurethane to achieve a desired strength, comfort level and durability. Because the most common grades of this foam are available in different densities, it's a perfect foam for furniture. We use this for most couch & chair cushions. These foams stay bouncy and last a long time.
Cold cure foam tends to be much denser. Because manufacturing temperatures rarely rise above 60° C, cold cure foam is ideal for injection-molded products such as car seats. This closed cell foam is more rigid and water resistant. It's also a lot more expensive than foam manufactured the other way. We do not sell closed cell foam.
Measure Before You Call!
To get the most accurate price estimate when ordering foam, be sure take three measurements before you call.
1) Measure edge thickness. Most sofa cushions are between four and six inches thick. If the foam is wrapped in Dacron® or some other material, it may appear slightly thicker. 2) Measure depth from front to back. 3) Measure the width at the widest point. Most sofa cushions are rectangular, but some have "tails" or "ears" that cover the face of the armrest. Be sure to include this when measuring the width.
Restore Cushions with Premium Quality Foam
Upgrade the look and feel of your sectional, sofa, settee or chair with perfect fit, commercial grade foam. Here's an example of the difference quality makes.
Some like the feel of down cushions, but over time the feathers compress and the cushions lose shape. Down is not only difficult to maintain, it can be a problem for folks with allergies. These cushions were originally stuffed with down (above).
We replaced the down with commercial grade polyurethane cushion foam, then wrapped the foam with Dacron® to enhance the look and feel. As you can see, the difference is striking. Because we only use commercial grade furniture foams, these cushions will look and feel great for years. What's more, a polyurethane cushion can be soft or firm. Our polyfoam comes in a wide range of densities. Drop by our Ballard showroom to find the foam that's right for you.
