Thanks to www.FabricSuppl... for providing foam samples.
I don't know why this suddenly showed up in my feed, but I have been wanting this information for close to two years now. Thank you.
Incredibly informative video. After watching this, I looked up our couch and found it only used 1.8 density foam, which is why it's already feeling unsupportive after 2 years. I'm 220 lbs, and I'll be looking into 2.3 - 2.7 range from now on. Thank you so much for this!
This is my fourth video on foams and finally the information is useful and provided the guidance I was looking for. Thank you! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
this was one of the best information I have ever seen. I am replacing sofa cushions and now I know what to look for. Thank you so much..
WOW! Exactly what I needed to know. Best tutorial on foam that I’ve found. Thanks!
Finally, a foam video that makes sense.
I am replacing the cushions on my sofa. This is what I needed. You are the best.. Thank you, Thank
you!!!
Excellent information. I think I have to watch it several times to really have it sink in, but you seem to have it down. Great job--you seem to be a natural!
Thank you for the great video, nice to have foam explained and what goes where, will make my chair seat foam selection much easier now.
Im on my 5th video and finally someone who knows how to explain Foam density applications... Thank you
Thank you very much for the great explanation. You did a wonderful job.❤
Thank you for making this video, really helped me decide how to restuff my worn out sofa and chair
Extremely informative, clear and concise. Thank you.
Thank you, it's the best information to understand foam properties and how I select it correctly
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Exactly what I wanted to know.
very useful! thank you! much appreciated.
Best video on the topic hands down! Congratulations!
Awesome info, working on rebuilding the bench seat in a 46 gmc truck, thinking of adding a thin layer of memory foam on the seat bottom
You're incredible. I love your in depth tutorials.
Glad you like them!
Best explanation I have seen. Thanks 👍
This may be the best video on this topic. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
All correct information. The only additional complications are 1) formulations are not equivalent or even similar as they are totally proprietary "Secret formula" trade secrets from Carpenter to another foamer and thus a Q26 @ 35 IF is not even remotely like a 2535 despite ostensibly very similar parameters. 2) Additionally, the other variables at play like the type of upholstery (Weight, elastic properties), the design/stylistic approach at play with the upholstery (flat, no crown cushion construction vs puffy, bookwrap w/crown and more give volume gives a softer eeffect).
super helpful, thank you! I'm trying to replace a rocking chair cushion and i think i know what I need now
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
You are better than my professor!
yes ma'am ! finally some useful information for the avg DYI er .
Your information like a treasure to me
Great explanation. I’m doing research for making cushions for patio sofa. Thank you.
Great job! No fluff :)
Loved the way you covered the foam. Do you have a video on how to make a lining for the cushion as well as the cushion cover
Thanks for watching. We do not have a video on that subject at this time.
Clear and informative. Great video.
Very useful information with good presentation. Thanks for sharing.
Truly gold content !! Everything is spot on, THANK YOU !!
Thank you!
what a lifesaver, this is brilliant thank you!
Thanks for this.. pretty much what I was looking for.. However, I am searching for a Leather Sofa with Powered Recline most all of those have a Density of 1.8 advertised and then some have that with a layer of a filled padding on top of cushion. I want something that will last us the longest with the best feel. Do I have to either have one or the other? I would of course like Comfort.. My Wife weights in at 100Lb.. me almost 150lbs more at 230lbs.. what would you consider my best option to look for? Please advise..
All commercial bought furniture will use 1.5 -1.8 cheap foam to cut corners. I deal with this very often. They have warranty where if it goes flat they replace it but they replace it with the same foam so it’ll go flat again. You have to have a professional get you Hr
This is an awesome video. What would you suggest for Extra Firm I just wish the sellers would put into title, Soft, Medium Firm, Firm, Extra foam for us laments. This would make so much easier for us to order.
Great video. Thank you
Excellent video and info thank you
Love the information, but I went to the website, and they are only for wholesale. I am doing home projects; do you have a supplier for individuals you can recommend? Thank you
What about to sleep on? Such as a couch. Would the firmness be too stiff? whats its comparison to a bed?
Excellent explanation. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Please can Polyethylene be used to make mattresses just a PU Foams?
You are amazing - thank you.
Thank you for the explanation. Great Content!
I am making a custom cushion for sleeping in my minivan when camping. I was thinking IFD 30s and 2 lb density. Does that sound good? I really am over blow up beds. They fail and are not comfortable.
Thank you for posting this. Great information!
I kno this is a older video.. But what do u recommend for someone stuck in bed for many hours a day, who is overweight? That u can also clean easily... I'm a caregiver.. So ya. Any help would be so appreciated.
I have back pain. My weight is 120 kg and i work 10 hours on chair with computer every day. What is suitable for my chair?
Excellent information!! Thanks!
Thank you, great information!
Thank you for the information, great explanation.
Would rebound foam, like carpet pad, be ok for high use dining room chairs?
Love your purple hair!
Hello... Is 90 density is good or 100 Density for rebonded mattresses... As i am confused... Please guide
Thank you! Do you have a video about down and feather products?
Thanks for watching. We do not have a video on that subject at this time.
Hello! I’m looking at a couch online and they are saying that in the specifications the seat cushions are 37kg/m3. According to your video what would that mean?
What is the diffrence between high density memory foam and high density mold shaping foam and which is firmer not to sag after sitting long hours ?
I am making a bed for my pet dog. Which foam should I buy for that?
What is this foam made of and where would one get this stuff from? Would I be right in saying this foam has sponge like qualities? I want to know what it's made of because I'm going to use it in a planter that I'll be growing food stuffs in. Thanks for any info anyone can supply.
So clearly explained. Thank you.
Wow, super helpful. Thanks!
i want to build a mattress 5 inch total for my RV with a 2 inch latex, could you help me to get the base foam of 3 inch , what should i buy ?
I'd like to re-upholster a sofa that has down over foam. Does that type of construction affect which foam i should select for the seat cushions and back cushions (loose pillows)?
Also, you didn't mention the foam for sofa arms. I'm guessing they should be in the firmer range. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Which foam is best for Gym Bench ?
hello, if you goona make outside cushions for patio 10' thick for seating, how would you do it? a video? if your still on youtube?
you had me at The Princess Bride!! even an R.O.U.S!!!!
Hi . What density and IFD combinations you suggest for Wedge pillow for my back ...one i bought either hard like brick or too soft thanks for your time ...great video
Very good info. Thanks!
I could not order foam from your recommended company because I am not a upholstery business. 😕
Best video yet!
Thanks for great explanation
How does latex foam compare to HR foam?
Thank you so much, your video was really helpful
Would it be ok to replace your couch seat cushions with latex like used in mattress toppers. Like for example stacking two 3” Talalay latex pieces together and putting them in your zippered cushion cover? 😊 I like the way you explained foam, and your hair looks cool 😎 to. Thank you🥰
So what is the best density for sofa in the living room, where we used to stay there the whole day? Please advice... thanks
May I know What's the difference with Landau foam and pe foam?
What density and IFD would you recommend for reupholstering dining room chairs? Currently they have approx. 3 inch foam and it must have been low density because they did not last very long? Thank you for your help!
What IFD you recommend for an Office Chair with a backrest that has a 3.5 inch by 4 inch diamond button tufting pattern. 2 inch thick backrest and 4 inch thick bottom cushion. I know that I should be using a 2.4 PCF or higher foam.
Very informative, thank you.
so helpful
Excellent tutorial!!!
Well, I am not going metric on you, so apples to apples. We have lost very large store in our city. This forces us online and I have found many do not list density. If the did, would it be the industry standard of 1 cubic foot?
I have foam up to 4 inches thick on hand. Without industry equipment, being creative, I would could weigh a cubic foot, but “IFD” would be more open to interpretation. Using the same thickness and the same weight, could I measure the 1 inch deflection to pass judgment on a given foam. This all salvaged foam from large new seats, kept in black bags to keep sunlight off. It can yellow due to “UV” light and turn into dead foam from use and prolonged “UV” exposure. Is this correct? Novice, forced retirement and automotive Master Tech doing my own seats, console and door panels. Thanks for you info. It “Does” help, me!
Good day, what kind of foam i use in gym bench press.. Thanks
would somebody be able which one recommand for the sound reducement
?
Thanks for making this video! Is 32D good for a base layer for a bed mattress? It has 2 inches of Latex (65 D) on top and 1 inch of Memory foam (55 D and TDI based)
in the middle with 5 inches of HR foam (32 D)
at the bottom. What do you reckon?
Orthopaedic : The Layered composition is -
1 inch Cool Fit Foam (35 D) + 1 inch transition layer (40 D) + 1 inch Memory Foam (50 D) + Remaining thickness High Resilience Foam (32 D)
Cool fit and memory foam, Both foam's layers remain same in all thickness even it's 5", 6" or 8". Only HR foam, we customise as per your required thickness.
Which one can be used for headboards
I had a lot of trouble as a mattress consumer to find this information because mattress companies dont explain these stuff.
where may I as a retail consumer find and buy high density foam in Toronto, Ontario, Canada? Please advise.
I just found a place called The foam store in Kitchener. I think they sell to retail
Excellent
Great tutorial! But I need help! If we compress a 4" high density foam mattress [not latex or memory foam], what foam type is best used for storage up to 6 months that will rebound back to its original shape?
You shouldn't go rolling up a memory foam mattress 🤦🏾♂️ once it is originally rolled out leave it like that 👍🏾
I work at a place that makes foam. I help make it.messy job.
Awesome video! You are great and I admire you for a while now:) would love to work with you sometime😊
Have an awesome day dear !
I swear... women just never fail being BETTER at explaining things.. period... full stop.
Great info, but some day the U.S. will have to move past medieval inches and pounds and onto the metric system will the rest of the planet.
Very informative, thank you.
Great info! Thankyou.
