Many of our customers are professional upholsterers who use Foam Factory due to its simplicity when it comes to ordering upholstery foam online. Because we offer a wide variety of templates (including a custom foam option for even more designs) we can supply you with upholstery foam cut to size for projects both big and small.

Buying upholstery foam online is easy on our website! To order custom cut upholstery foam, all you need to do is begin by choosing from our selection of foam templates. We have a total of 20 foam shapes to choose from. If you can’t find the upholstery foam shape you need, you can choose the custom option instead.

Once you’ve selected the best match for your cut to size foam, you’ll be asked to enter measurements. You can specify the size of your foam cut to size shape in inches, centimetres or millimetres. If you have any specific questions about measuring read our measuring guide or get in touch with a member of our team.

We offer various types of foam suitable for upholstery applications. If you’re unsure which upholstery foam is best suited for you, we’ll be happy to provide our own recommendations. Our high-density cushion foam is available in soft, medium or firm varieties.

Seat Cushion Foam Choices

When it comes to seat cushion foam, we usually recommend opting for either a medium or firm feel. Most of our customers find that soft foam doesn’t offer enough support to be used for seating foam cushions. Soft foam is much better suited to the likes of armchair or sofa back cushions.

For example, if you’re looking for replacement sofa cushions, you may want to choose a medium or firm foam for the seat cushions and something soft for the back sofa cushion foam.
The type of foam you may want to choose for your seat cushions will largely depend on the thickness of the cushion foam as well as your personal preferences.

Our general guidance for seating foam cushions is that if it measures between 1 inch and 4 inches thick, to opt for a firm sofa foam. If the cushion foam is over 4 inches, a medium feel may be better suited. Again, your personal preference should also be factored into your decision. If you’d like to know more about our various types of seating foam, one of our foam factory experts will gladly assist you.

Upholstery Foam Cushion Additions

After you’ve selected which grade of foam cut to size you need, you will be asked if you would like to include some additions with your order. Specifically, you’ll be able to include Stockinette only or Dacron & Stockinette with your custom foam. Stockinette is a fine, stretchy, cotton netting that acts as an upholstery foam cushion lining. It prevents friction between the foam and the cushion covers. This helps to prevent wear and makes it much easier to insert and remove your foam cushions from the covers.

Dacron, is a high-quality, polyester wadding that we can add to the top and bottom of your upholstery foam. It’s perfect for foam cushion wraps, headboards and various other upholstery applications. As a cushion foam wrap, its purpose is to give the cushion more loft. Dacron helps to better fill out cushion covers, meaning there is less room for sagging. If you opt to include Dacron, it will measure approximately 1 centimetre on the top and 1 centimetre on the bottom.

We’re often asked if this extra thickness should be subtracted from the overall thickness of your foam cushion. Usually, our advice is to include it alongside the original thickness of your foam. Doing this tends to better fill out cushion covers. However, if the foam cushions are already quite tight-fitting, measurements may need adjusting slightly. If you’re unsure about the measurements that you need, we recommend contacting our team of experts for assistance, before placing your order.
