Foam Rubber Products

This is a review of my experience using the company’s website BuyFoam in Feb 2015 to purchase a top for an Ottoman I decided to reupholster myself. I live in Seattle, and called 3 local upholstery stores for quotes. The quotes ranged from $ 75 to $ 165 (for a 25 by 44 3-​inch high density foam). Each location told me it would take 7 to 10 days to get my order. BuyFoam offered the same product for $ 53. I received an email with a PDF of the order confirmation. But the $$ was not immediately withdrawn from my account. After hearing nothing for 4 or 5 business days I called the company on a Thursday or Friday to inquire about the status of my order. The person I spoke with was courteous, and informed me that the order would ship the following Monday or Tuesday, and I would receive an email confirmation. As promised I received an email directly from FedEx informing me that the item shipped. It arrived 4 or 5 days later.
What I learned from this experience is that A) custom foam is expensive, and B) unless you want to pay a lot of money don’t expect to get it overnight. This particular company appears to have an older e-​commerce system (the website looks like it was designed in 1999). But the truth is I am extremely happy with the product and I feel like I got a deal that arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Finally, I ordered the very high density foam — and it barely registers weight when I sit on it. I am quite confident it will hold it’s shape for years if not decades to come.

Foam Rubber Products is the only place in town where you can get a custom piece of foam with a density and color of your choice. The place is really cool and old fashioned. They’ll get you exactly what you need at a really reasonable price. I got new foam lining for a old keyboard road case for about 20 $. One thing to note, they may not cut it right away for you so you might have to put your order in and pick it up a week later. Also! Double check your dimensions!.. 5 stars guys.

Family owned, the proprietors were very friendly and helpful. They cut me a mattress to my specifications right there while I waited, and I love it: it’s not all that thick, but is has the perfect squishiness level. They’re also more portable than most mattresses, and they packed it up to a reasonable size for easy transportation from the store.
