High-density foam features the perfect amount of cushioning and stiffness, with a compression rate of 44 lbs. It is soft yet holds its firmness and support, allowing an individual to sit on it without compressing the foam too much. Compression, not density, determines the firmness of the foam. To avoid a cushion that is hard as a rock or a mattress that sinks when you sit on it, you must check the compression or indentation load deflection (ILD) number.

Compression refers to the number of pounds necessary to compress a piece of foam 25% and still have it bounce back to its original thickness. For example, a 4-inch thick piece of foam that requires 33 lbs. to pack it down 1 inch and return to its full 4-inch thickness has a 33 lb. compression rating or ILD.

All foam sheets are sold per sheet, not per yard. When cutting the foam, it is recommended to use a ball point pen or a pencil instead of a box cutter, as this can help to start a small incision and break the foam from there.

Medium-density foam is used for a firmness yet relaxable cushion. It has high-quality compression and material, allowing it to last for longer periods of time even when subjected to harsh weight. This type of foam is made in the USA and is ideal for a variety of applications, including oval and round poker tables, furniture cushions, boat cushions, car cushions, foam mattresses, and bedding support.

The medium-density foam has a density of 1.8 and a 44 lb. compression rating. It has a 100% recovery rate and can last from 3 to 7 years. Customers can contact the company for their custom cut needs.
