Where can I get foam for a window seat?

[Ole]

I need to make a cushion for our window seat and I was wondering if it is possible to buy some foam locally which I can then cut to size? If there is nowhere locally, does anybody know of anywhere else in London? Many thanks!

There's a place on Kent House Road (penge) that does cushions/ filler/ upholstery.

I think the fabric place near the magnolia pub sells foam.

There is an upholsterers on Melbourne Grove.

there is a place on Maxted road- on the corner with Oglander which will cut good quality thick foam to the size you want.

I think its called carole henry- anyway they make curtain,cushions etc. I got some for the same purpose there - not cheap but quality.

Can't remember the name of the online company, but we used boat grade foam - essentially the stuff used to line bunk beds etc in boats. It was reasonable price wise, nice and firm and fire resistant. They cut the pieces to size which was great as our bay window was not straight. I'll try and find the link.

Aha, it was the foam shop:

Efoam every time. I?ve done 6 window sears and other projects using them.

Angel upholstery on Melbourne Grove. Anne-Marie in there is lovely. We?ve had foam seating for a kitchen bench and several lots of cuishions and curtains made there. 0208 693 4869

Angel Upholstery has moved from Melbourne grove I think to somewhere in Wandsworth - not sure if the phone no is the same though.

I also recommend Angel Upholstery. Anne-Marie has made me curtains, cushions and window seats. She sourced the foam - just ell her exactly what firmness you want.

Thanks for the recommendation re the foam. We are going to make small window seats and use the online site - what does anyone recommend re covers for those. For such a small job (and these are v small window seats - it seems a bit ott to get from angel upholstery although I do agree they are fantastic.

Hi, Ive made a few window style seats for our house myself. I can?t use a sewing machine.

I have very successfully used beautiful H&M tablecloths to cover many occasional seats. I use a piece of ply or mdf or thin easy to cut to size wood. Pop on the foam, flip over and staple gun in place. Happy to send you photos and answer any questions if you want to give me your email adresss. Your forum email account is full and not mailable btw.
