Our High Density Upholstery Foam from EN36-080 to EN30-400 is a perfect solution for Back rest, transport upholstery, and furniture projects requiring long-lasting comfort and hygiene. Treated with Ultrafresh®, this foam offers antimicrobial protection, preventing the growth of dust mites, mold, and mildew, ensuring your product stays clean and fresh.
35-160 Foam is denser but approximately the same firmness as Upholstery medium density 28-170 foam. Great for Dog beds, high wear situations, bench seats, chairs etc.
38-200 Foam, is denser again, and firmer than upholstery medium density foam. For use in upholstery where structure is starting to be required. Also good for heavy weighted objects being placed on. Boat seats, car seats, big dog beds, kneeling pads, roll mats etc.
30-400 Foam, denser than upholstery medium foam 28 But massively firmer at 400. For use in structural components of building, car manufacturing, furniture for heavy long term use, benches, roll mats, gym mats, trampoline pads, machinery gaskets, life vest, bouyancy aids etc.
Sold per square meter, this foam is also available in custom cut sizes, allowing you to order the exact dimensions needed for your project.

Density refers to the mass of foam material per unit volume. (Compactness) It is measured as kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) High-density foams have more mass packed into a given volume, meaning they are denser and have smaller air pockets or cells. Low-density foams have less mass for the same volume, indicating larger air pockets or cells. Density affects various properties of foam, including its weight, thermal insulation, and buoyancy. Hardness: Hardness refers to the resistance of a foam material when a force is applied. It measures how firm or soft the foam feels when you press on it. Hardness is typically measured using tests like the Shore Durometer hardness test, which provides a numerical value on a scale. For example, a higher Shore Durometer value indicates a harder foam, while a lower value indicates a softer foam. (Physical pressure resistance) Foam hardness is related to the foam’s compression and support characteristics. Softer foams tend to compress more easily under pressure, while harder foams resist compression and provide better support. These properties are important considerations when selecting foam for specific applications. For example, in a mattress, you might want a balance of density and hardness to provide both support and comfort. Different foams with varying density and hardness values can be used for various purposes, from cushioning and insulation to structural support and comfort.
