The Ultimate Guide to Foam Swags: Comfort, Convenience, and Customisation
If you’re an avid camper, festival-goer, or road tripper, you’ve likely come across the humble swag. But not all swags are created equal. At Foam for Home, we specialise in high-quality foam swags that are not only comfortable but also customisable to suit your unique needs. Whether you’re after a traditional single swag, a double swag mattress insert, or a lightweight alternative to bulky sleeping gear, we’ve got you covered.
What is a Foam Swag?
A foam swag is a compact, portable bedding solution traditionally used in the Australian outback. Unlike inflatable swags or thin roll-out mats, our foam swags use premium Australian-made foam for superior support and durability. Perfect for camping, glamping, or even unexpected guests, a foam swag combines the functionality of a mattress with the portability of a sleeping bag.
Why Choose Foam Over Inflatable?
While inflatable swags have their place, foam swags offer several clear advantages:
- No air leaks: Foam swags don’t deflate during the night.
- Consistent comfort: Foam retains its shape and offers better body support.
- Quick setup: Simply roll out and sleep—no pumps required.
- Durability: Foam can withstand more wear and tear over time.
At Foam for Home, we offer foam cut to size, so you can create a swag that fits your vehicle, tent, or personal preferences perfectly.

Tips for Caring for Your Foam Swag
To ensure longevity and performance, here are some simple care tips:
- Store rolled or flat in a dry, cool place.
- Use a removable cover to protect from dust and moisture.
