Foam sheeting
« on: January 09, 2008, 16:55:16 PM »
Anybody know where to buy foam sheeting? The type upholsterers use for seat padding and the likes. At least 1-2inches thick and preferably 1 metre wide.  Thanks.{ in or around Calis}

There are a couple of suppliers on the road out to Karachula. Give them the exact shape and measurements and they'll cut it to size for you. If there are rounded edges, like on seat cushions, it's a good idea if you can take them a paper or cardboard template.

And a little tip from my upholstery lessons - if you want to cut foam yourself use an electric carving knife. Works wonders.

Yup, thats where we got ours from. We took a pattern along and they did the rest.  Very cheap too.

also make sure you get the right hardness and density for seats around 35 should be ok

There are several shops in Fethiye on the one way system coming back in to Fethiye from the harbour which sell foam.
