Reticulated Foam – Outdoor Cushion Foam

Time and time again, reticulated foam has proven to be the absolute best material for making outdoor cushions, marine seat pads and more!

Our advanced, superior fire resistance, reticulated foam is manufactured using a sophisticated hydro blast reticulation process. Thanks to its wide-open cells, reticulated foam filters water like a sieve. Air can freely circulate throughout its cellular structure; resulting in an upholstery foam that dries 100% faster than regular polyurethane foam when analysed during a comparative drying test.

This fast-drying foam is available in cut to size parts and foam sheets for all your marine and outdoor upholstery projects. If you would like to speak to one of our experts about this product or any of our services, please get in touch via our contact form.

Outdoor Cushion Foam Thicknesses

You should consider thickness, depending on the type of outdoor cushion you intend to make with reticulated foam. We stock quick drying foam in a soft, medium or firm feel. For example, an outdoor day bed cushion would best be suited to a medium reticulated foam that’s 10-15cm thick. Sun lounger cushions in a firm variety can perform well at 5 – 15cm thick. Whereas soft reticulated foam is best suited to outdoor back cushions.

What is Reticulated Foam Used For?

Reticulated foam has many uses all of which depend on the type of reticulated foam. For example, fast drying reticulated foam is best suited for use with outdoor furniture and boat upholstery. Other types can be used for pond filters, fuel tank sloshing (also known as baffle foam), air filtration and more.

What is the Best Foam for Outdoor Cushions?

Reticulated foam is a great choice when deciding which material to use to make outdoor cushions. Not only is it considerably faster at drying than regular upholstery foams, it’s also treated with an antimicrobial agent to prevent fungal and mould growth.

What is the Best Foam for Boat Cushions?

Reticulated foam has long been used on watercraft to make high-quality seating cushions and mattresses. Its quick drying properties around wet and humid conditions make for a great choice on any boat, ship, yacht and more.

What is 10 PPI Reticulated Foam?

Reticulated foam is sometimes referred to by its PPI count, especially when referring to aquatic filter foam. PPI in this context means “pores per inch.” A 10 PPI foam would indicate the number of pores that this reticulated foam has. The smaller the PPI count, the bigger and more visible the pores will be.

Is Reticulated Foam Fire Retardant?

Our exclusive FR reticulated foam has been chemically treated to give it a superior level of fire retardancy when compared to UK standard reticulated foam.
