High-density foam has a compression rate of 44 lbs, featuring the perfect amount of cushioning and stiffness. It is soft yet still holds its firmness and support, allowing an individual to sit on it without compressing the foam too much. Compression, not density, is what determines firmness. If you don't want a cushion that's as hard as a rock or a mattress that sinks when you sit on it, you need to check the compression or ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) 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. It's important to avoid using a box cutter to open the package, as this can damage the foam. Instead, use a ballpoint pen or a pencil to make a small incision and break it from there.

Medium-density foam is used for a firmer yet more relaxable cushion. It has high-quality compression and material to keep it lasting for longer periods, even when subjected to heavy weight. This foam is made in the USA and is ideal for use in 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 boasts a 100% recovery rate and can last from 3 to 7 years. Contact the manufacturer for your custom cut needs.
