Sofa Foam Inserts

Options
Does anyone know a good company to get foam inserts for sofas?
DFS want £40 a cushion but I bet I can get it cheaper than that from somewhere else.

Thank you

    if you want it to last then you will need to pay a good price for decent quality foam ,unless you're only planning to keep sofa for a year or so , i got some foam from here , i think i paid £2-300 for a sofa and 2 chairs , but that was at least 4 years ago and they are still going strong ,have probably lasted better than the original foam

    I might as well get some from DFS then!

    The website quoted £160 for four cushions, but I might go for the £20 discount and have smaller pieces bonded together.
    Coincidently DFS quoted the same figure for the foam.

    I've also checked out http://www.thefoamshop.co.uk/ who quote £176 but then their website has things like this:
    Distance Selling regulations:
    Orders of made to measure items useing the online calculator are exempt

    Surely they can't say that anyway?

    i suppose if you sent in the measurements and then they delivered them only to find the customer has incorrectly measured up then i guess they can't be responsible for your errors

    just make sure that DFS are supplying a decent grade of foam
