Foam Grades Explained – Choosing the Best Foam Grade
Each foam grade serves a unique purpose. Some are soft and plush, others firm and supportive, and some are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. Here’s what we offer:
Super Soft Foam (25/60)
Best for: Back cushions, soft toppers, dog beds
This is our softest foam grade. As a result, it offers a plush, luxurious feel. It’s perfect for scatter cushions, headboards, and comfy pet beds. This grade is all about gentle support and relaxation.
Economy Foam (16-110)
Best for: Light-use cushions, budget seating, craft projects
Our most affordable foam. It’s lightweight and flexible. For example, it’s ideal for display furniture, theatre props, or occasional seating. It’s a great choice for hobbyists or budget-conscious customers.
Medium Foam (23-130)
Best for: Sofa seat cushions, daybeds, camper van builds
This medium-grade foam is one of our most popular choices for general-purpose use. Because of its balanced support and comfort, it’s ideal for everyday cushions in family homes across Brisbane, Perth, and Melbourne.
Premium Foam (31-190) – High Density Foam
Best for: High-use indoor cushions, bench seats, and mattresses
This high-density foam provides excellent support and long-term durability. It’s perfect for couch cushions, foam mattresses, dining chairs, and other frequently used furniture in homes and businesses across Sydney and Adelaide.
Enduro Foam (36-130)
Best for: Designer lounges, caravan seating, commercial use
This premium-grade foam offers superior resilience and comfort. In particular, it’s designed for long-lasting performance in premium lounges, high-end caravans, and custom seating.
Quick Dry Foam – Water Resistant Foam
Best for: Outdoor seating, poolside cushions, boats
This open-cell, fast-drying foam is resistant to moisture and mould. Therefore, it’s ideal for coastal homes, resorts, or humid climates like Darwin and the Sunshine Coast. It’s the go-to for outdoor furniture and marine applications.
Extra Firm Foam (50-250) – Commercial Grade Foam
Best for: High-traffic seating, gym mats, firm mattresses
This is our firmest and most durable foam grade. It’s commonly used in commercial settings, aged care, and other heavy-use environments. In addition, it’s great for dining seats, bench pads, and floor mats.
