New Year, New CNC Cutting Machine to Increase Productivity and Keep Our Prices Low

With the festive season behind us, batteries have been refreshed and business is back to usual. And what a better way to start the year, than investing in a WinTech DOZ 500 computer-controlled cutting machine to further improve the service we offer to you. This fantastic new foam cutter will not only increase our productivity, but it will allow us to continue keeping our prices down by saving waste and automatically cutting as many identical shapes as possible from one piece of foam.   

Using computer programming techniques, the WinTech DOZ 500 will allow us to create a product that meets your exact specifications, cutting any 2D shapes and an incredible variety of 3D shapes. 

Ordering bespoke foam products from Foam Superstore has never been easier. You can email us a CAD drawing of the foam shape you require (preferably in the DXF file format) and we’ll take care of everything else. The fact that instructions come directly from a computer file will remove the need to draw a template or hand cut the foam - where errors can potentially creep in.  

With the festive season just around the corner, there are no more excuses to keep postponing the Christmas preparations. It’s a good idea to first focus on your home and the room where you’ll be spending the most time, especially if you’re planning on hosting the Christmas dinner this year or any festive parties. 

Make your living room feel warm and inviting

Start by updating soft furnishings like scatter cushions, blankets and rugs that will cosy up the living room. If your saggy sofa cushions have seen better days, treat your living room to a sofa that looks brand new. But before spending money on expensive new sofas, have you consider replacing the sofa cushion?  

While new sofas may take weeks to be delivered to your home, Foam Superstore offers an incredible fast sofa foam refill service. We can provide you with bespoke replacement foam cushions for sofas, armchairs, window seats and other home furniture with the foam cut to any size and shape you require. You can have your comfy new furniture foam cushions delivered the next working day and if your cushion covers have suffered any wear and tear, you can benefit from our made to measure box seat cushion cover service with a 10-day turnaround. If you want your saggy sofa cushions fixed before Christmas, don’t leave it till the last minute! 

Make your guest bedroom a homely space

In preparation for Christmas, it’s also time to make sure your guest bedroom is ready for all the expected and unexpected family visitors. Many of us only use the guest bedrooms a handful of times throughout the year and they often end up being crammed with piles of old clothes and mystery boxes. This creates a tired-looking room that doesn’t really match the festive atmosphere in the rest of your home. Mattresses and bedding can often be neglected too. 

So, clear away any clutter and give the room a good clean. Inspect the mattress for lumps and bumps and, if needed, invest in an affordable foam mattress topper to provide your guests with a night of restful sleep. Don’t forget the little things - scented candles are another way to instantly lift the mood. 

Get your home ready for Christmas early and create the warmest of welcomes for all your festive visitors. Make sure you check out our Furniture replacement cushions section to get your home cosier than ever this winter!

To help you choose the most suitable grade for your needs, we’ve put together this handy guide to give you more information on our foam grades and their intended uses. 

Premium Blue Firm Foam (Grade 39) 

Our Premium Blue Firm Foam is a high-density foam. You can use this foam to replace your old worn-out sofa seat cushions with new very firm cushions. Our Premium Blue Firm Foam would also be a great choice for replacement cushions for boats, caravan and campervans, window seats, dining pads and other upholstery repairs. 

Our Luxury Reflex Grey Foam is a premium high-density foam. Due to its bounce-back touch, this foam grade is the ideal solution for replacement sofa seat cushions, allowing you to enjoy greater comfort and resistance.  

Premium Soft Blue Foam (Grade 30)  

Our Premium Soft Blue Foam is a very soft foam. This foam grade can be used for back sofa cushions and soft mattress toppers. Due to its softness, this foam is not suitable for any seating application.  

Budget Blue Foam (Grade 33) 

Our Budget Blue Foam is an affordable high-density foam grade. It’s a very popular firm foam that our customers use to update their dining pads, garden furniture, window seats, caravan seating and for other upholstery repairs. If you require foam for high-use items, choose our Premium Blue Foam instead.  

 6lb Recon Foam   

Our 6lb Recon Foam is a very firm grade, that we often recommend for hard-wearing seats. Due to its enhanced durability, the 6lb Recon Foam is perfect to use for bar and pub seating, bus seating, church kneelers, gym mats and other hard-wearing commercial furniture.  

Luxury Reflex Pink Foam   

Our new Luxury Reflex Pink Foam is a premium high-density soft foam. Due to its softness, the Luxury Reflex Pink Foam is mostly used for replacing fibre-filled and foam-filled sofa back cushions. 

White Foam  

Our White Foam is an affordable craft foam. This foam grade is most suitable for crafts projects, upholstery repairs, headboards and so much more. We don’t recommend that you use this grade for updating any seat cushions. 

Dark Grey Acoustic Foam  

Our Dark Grey Acoustic Foam is a great way to reduce reverberation, reflections and flutter echoes and soundproof a room. You can use our acoustic foam in studios, home theatres, music rooms, cinemas and any other rooms that require improved acoustics. 

Memory Foam  

Our Memory Foam is a premium foam, mostly used for mattresses. A memory foam mattress moulds itself to the contours of your body, providing greater comfort and excellent support. Our memory foam can also be used for mattress toppers, pillows, boat and caravan mattresses, wheelchair cushions and much more. 

Did you know that on average we spend around 17 years of our lives sitting on a sofa? You don’t really want to spend most of that time struggling to find a comfortable spot on an old sofa that has become saggy and has lost its original appeal. But before you rush off to spend money on a new expensive sofa, have you considered replacing your sofa cushions? 

There is no need to replace your whole sofa when the cushions go flat. Sofa cushion refilling offers a cost-effective way to bring comfort, style and life back to your old couch, allowing you to save time and money.  

You probably spent hours, if not days, visiting furniture shops or searching online for a sofa that not only you like, but one that perfectly matches your home interior. Replacing your sofa seat cushions will save you the time and stress of having to go through that same process once again. 

Why foam is the best sofa cushions filling? 

• Feathers 

 Foam cushions are becoming more popular than ever, lasting much longer than both feather and fiberfill cushions and they come in a variety of densities. High-resilient density foam has been found to be more resistant to wear and sagging, significantly increasing the lifespan of a couch. Foam eliminates the need to constantly plump the cushions and offers a superior level of comfort and support whilst sitting. 

Why buy sofa cushion foam from Foam Superstore? 

A good quality sofa is worth the investment, but the reality is that the quality of sofas today is not what it used to be. Due to the constant demand for cheaper products, the quality has unfortunately suffered from a lot of manufacturers choosing to use cheaper materials. 

If your sofa is in desperate need of an upgrade, make the smart decision and invest in the Foam Superstore’s sofa seat refill service. With competitive pricing and high-quality foam cut to the exact size of your cushion covers, replacing your sofa seats has never been easier.
