In this review the Foamma 2 in x 28 in x 28 in high density upholstery foam is evaluated as a practical replacement cushion for DIY upholstery and furniture repair. The bottom line: it is best for homeowners and hobbyists who need a firm, long lasting insert that restores support without a high price tag. The standout reason to buy is the combination of 1.8 density firmness and a 100% recovery rate, which delivers resilient support for chair and couch cushions that see daily use.
Key Features
- Durable high density: The firm 1.8 density foam is designed to withstand repeated use and maintain shape for years in high-traffic seating.
- Custom cuts: Each order is cut to the requested dimensions so the foam can be tailored to fit existing covers or custom projects.
- Comfort and support: A compression rate of 44 pounds and full recovery mean the foam offers firm but comfortable support for sitting.
- CERTIPUR-US certified: Made without ozone depleting substances, the foam uses safer materials for indoor furniture use.
- Compact packaging: The foam ships compressed for easier transport and expands back to shape within about 72 hours when unpacked.
Who It's For
The foam is aimed at DIY upholsterers, furniture refurbishers, and homeowners who need replacement cushion inserts for chairs, couches, benches, or custom pillows and craft projects. It suits projects where a firmer, supportive feel is wanted rather than a soft plush cushion.
Those who need very fast full expansion or who prefer very soft, sinking seating should consider alternatives; a lower density foam or an additive plush layer would be a better match for ultra-squishy cushions.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Firm, consistent support from a 1.8 density material that matches many original cushions.
- Custom cut sizing reduces trimming and helps achieve a snug fit in covers.
- Good recovery and long expected lifespan make it a cost-effective option for frequent-use furniture.
Cons
- Some customers report the compressed foam can take longer than expected to fully decompress to original loft.
