Here’s a breakdown of our most popular upholstery supplies available now at Foam for Home:
We stock high-density and medium-density foam cut to size for seating, cushions, headboards, daybeds, and more. Choose the right foam depending on comfort level and firmness required. All of our foams are Australian-made, ensuring quality and durability.
Our upholstery spray adhesive is a must-have for bonding foam to foam or foam to fabric. Easy to apply and fast-drying, this is ideal for securing layers before stitching or stapling.
Support is key! We supply both Flexplus Platinum P560 (E450) webbing and traditional jute webbing, both strong and designed to add structural integrity to seating applications.
We sell zippers by the metre so you can create custom-sized cushion covers. Paired with zip sliders, you have full control over length and fit.
Ideal for removable cushions or where easy fastening is needed. Available in sew-in or self-adhesive backing, it’s perfect for seats, marine applications, and kids’ furniture.
Polyester wadding (also called Dacron) is used to wrap foam before covering it with fabric. It smooths edges, softens the look, and extends the life of your fabric by reducing wear.
Also known as welt cord, this is used to create piping around cushions or add structure to seams. A popular decorative element in both traditional and modern upholstery styles.
For a polished finish, our nailhead strips and trims add detail and sophistication to your furniture. A simple way to add a professional touch.
We also offer upholstery cleaning products designed to keep your finished work looking fresh and well maintained for longer.
Whether you’re a homeowner updating a favourite armchair or a professional upholsterer fitting out a commercial space, Foam for Home caters to all experience levels.
