Upholstery Foam – Find the Right Foam for Your Project

Not sure what foam you need? We can help!

At Philmore Upholstery & Foam Supply, we stock a variety of foam for furniture cushions, boat seating, automotive projects, and more. Whether you're replacing worn-out cushions or starting a new project, we have options for just about every need.

We sell foam in standard sheets and also offer custom cut foam to fit your measurements.

Our Foam Options

Foam Type Firmness Best Used For
14017 – Super Soft Very Soft Back cushions and extra-soft padding
D-50 – Boat Firm Firm Budget-friendly boat cushions and benches
E-35 – Medium Medium Everyday furniture cushions – one of our most popular options!
E-95 – Super Firm Super Firm Marine deck pads, motor covers, and automotive padding
G-30 – High Density Medium Soft Back cushions and softer seating
G-50 – High Density Firm Supportive indoor and outdoor seating
G-65 – High Density Extra Firm Firm marine and furniture cushions

What's the Difference Between Density and Firmness?

It's actually pretty simple!

Density = Durability

Higher-density foam generally holds up better over time, making it a great choice for cushions that get a lot of use.

Firmness = How the Foam Feels

Some foam is soft and comfortable, while other foam is firm and supportive.

Keep in mind: High-density foam doesn't always mean firm foam! You can have soft foam that's still great quality.

Need Foam Cut to Size?

We can custom cut foam to your measurements!

Our custom cut foam is priced by the board foot.

Board Feet = Length (feet) × Width (feet) × Thickness (inches)

For example, a cushion measuring 24" × 18" × 2" equals 6 board feet.

Other Specialty Foams We Offer

Looking for something other than standard upholstery foam? We carry several specialty foams, including reticulated outdoor foam, EVA foam, PE foam, and MLC foam. Reticulated foam is a great choice for outdoor cushions because it allows water to drain through quickly. We also stock EVA, PE, and MLC foams for a variety of projects that need something different from traditional cushion foam. Not sure which one is right for your project? Give us a call or stop by the store. We're always happy to help you find what you need!

A Quick Note About Shipping

Some foam is compressed for shipping. Once unpacked, please allow up to 48 hours for it to return to its normal shape.
