If you’re looking for custom cut foam in Australia, it’s important to get the measurements right the first time.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to measure, choose, and order foam like a pro!


Why Choose Custom Cut Foam?

Endless possibilities — for caravans, boats, outdoor furniture, craft projects, and beyond

At Foam for Home, we cut your foam to size right here in Australia and deliver nationwide.


How to Measure for Custom Cut Foam

Here’s a simple step-by-step to get accurate measurements:

1️⃣ Remove old foam (if possible)

If you’re replacing existing foam, remove it from the cover or frame so you can measure the original shape directly.

2️⃣ Measure the length and width

Use a firm tape measure or ruler.
➡ Measure in millimetres (mm) for accuracy.
➡ Always measure the maximum length and width at the longest and widest points.

3️⃣ Measure the thickness (height)

If you’re replacing foam, check the original thickness or decide what you’d like for comfort.
➡ Common thicknesses: 25mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm

4️⃣ Allow for snug fit

We recommend ordering your foam 5-10mm larger than your cover or frame dimensions so it fills out the space well.


Choosing the Right Foam

When ordering custom cut foam, think about:

  • Use: Is it for indoors, outdoors, bedding, or crafts?

  • Density: Higher density foams last longer and provide firmer support.

  • Comfort: Thicker foam or softer grades may suit seat cushions or mattress overlays.
