    It largely depends on where you live. Have your tried Googling "Furniture Foam suppliers near "add your postcode". Alternatively try Yellow Pages and look for Foam suppliers or Reupholstes

    I am shortly (well I keep saying this but never get the time) going to re upholster a couch and the way I am going to do it is buy seating foam by measuring the old inserts and getting a couple of inches more, then I am going to wrap it in wadding/quilting stuff to soften it. Lots of established markets have foam stalls. You can probably even buy it from ebay.

    Another tip is to use an electric carving knife to cut the foam after you have drawn your shape on it.
