High-density foam has a compression rate of 44 lbs, offering the perfect balance of cushioning and stiffness. This type of foam is soft yet firm, providing adequate support without excessive compression. The key factor in determining the firmness of foam is its compression rate, not its density. To avoid a cushion that is either too hard or a mattress that sinks excessively, it is crucial to consider the compression or ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) number. Compression refers to the amount of weight required to compress a piece of foam by 25% while still allowing it to return to its original thickness.

For example, a 4-inch thick piece of foam that requires 33 lbs to compress it by 1 inch and return to its full 4-inch thickness has a 33 lb. compression rating or ILD. It is important to note that all foam sheets are sold per sheet, not per yard, and they should be opened with a ball-point pen or pencil rather than a box cutter to avoid damaging the material.

Medium-density foam is often used for a firm yet relaxable cushion. It is designed to have high-quality compression and material properties that allow it to maintain its durability even under heavy weight. Foamrush's foam is certified for quality, with a density of 1.8 and a compression rating of 44 ILD, ensuring a high recovery rate and long-lasting performance.

Our high-density, firm foam is specifically engineered for heavy-traffic and high-use applications, with a lifespan of approximately 7-12 years. Foamrush's foam is Certipur-US certified, ensuring it is safe, non-toxic, and better for your health and the environment compared to non-certified or non-regulated foam.

Foam can be used for a variety of projects beyond just sofas and chairs. It can be customized to repair worn-down chairs, create custom cushions for patio furniture, ottomans, headboards, RVs, boats, cars, workout equipment, and even carry cases for delicate items. The versatility of foam allows for a wide range of DIY and crafting projects.

Foamrush's foam is easy to customize, as it can be sliced through with common cutting tools like an electric hot wire foam cutter. Edges can be trimmed, and layers can be stacked for additional thickness to meet specific needs. The foam can also be glued together to create wider pieces or layered to produce thicker cushions.

When receiving your Foamrush foam, it is essential to follow the care instructions carefully. Open the package immediately and use caution when doing so, as sharp tools can damage the material. Allow the foam to fully expand over 3-4 days before cutting or using it, as it has been compressed for shipping. By following these instructions, you can ensure the best quality and longevity of your Foamrush foam.
