Choosing the right foam for your seating
There is many different types of foams and different densities to choose from, so which is the right foam for your needs?
Foam For Home have narrowed down the selection process making it easier by offering four of the most common foams used for seating for indoor and outdoor furniture.
The higher the density the better the quality the foam is and the longer the foam will last. Foams also come with a hardness measurement and the higher the hardness is the measure on how firm the foam will be but is not a measure of the quality.
We have in stock over 30 types of foam so should you have a specific requirement contact our team who will be happy to guide you on the best selection.
Entry Level Foam 16 – 110
This is a low-density foam can be used for seat backs, general upholstery. Also ideal for light weight usage children’s seating and low usage areas. With it having such low density it would not be the recommended choice for seating. This foam is also backed with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
