🪑 What’s the Best Foam for Seat Cushions?
Comfort starts from the base – here’s how to choose the right foam for your seating.
Whether you’re upgrading your dining chairs, giving your outdoor lounge a fresh feel, or building a custom bench seat, choosing the right foam is essential. The wrong foam will sag, compress, and become uncomfortable before its time — but the right foam will hold its shape and support you for years.
At Foam for Home, we cut seat foam to your exact size and only use premium, Australian-made foams that are safe, durable, and made to last.
✅ So… What Is the Best Foam for Seating?
It depends on how the seating will be used — but here’s a simple breakdown:
1. High-Density Foam (Best for Everyday Use)
-
Ideal for: Dining chairs, bench seating, indoor lounges, office chairs
-
Feel: Medium-firm to firm
-
Why it works: High-density foam offers excellent support and shape retention. It’s comfortable but won’t compress quickly like lower-quality options.
✔ Long-lasting
✔ Great comfort/support balance
✔ Available in multiple thicknesses
2. Premium Firm Foam (Best for Commercial or Heavy Use)
-
Ideal for: Cafés, waiting rooms, public seating, gym benches
-
Feel: Firm
-
Why it works: This type of foam is designed for high traffic and constant use. It keeps its shape under pressure and provides strong support for long periods.
✔ Commercial-grade durability
✔ Maintains shape
✔ Perfect for trade customers
3. Reticulated Quick-Dry Foam (Best for Outdoor Seats)
-
Ideal for: Patio lounges, outdoor benches, poolside furniture
-
Feel: Firm but breathable
-
Why it works: Reticulated foam (like Dricell™) allows water to drain right through. It’s mould and mildew resistant — perfect for the Aussie outdoors.
✔ Dries fast
✔ UV and moisture resistant
✔ Australian made
