Hello, does anyone know of any shops where you can buy upholstery foam? - I want to make a bench cushion for a DIY window seat.

Planning to do MDF board + foam and fabric.

Looked online and found Dunelm but they don't sell in sizes large enough - need c150cm X 40cm

Mortgage remaining: £42,260 of £77,000 (2.59% til 03/18 - 2.09% til 03/23)

Savings target June 18 - £22,281.99 / £25,000

Many if not most upholstery and fabric shops will stick foam.

Google 'Upholstery foam your town/county'.

My local market stocks this in large sheets and will cut to size.

That was my first action but unfortunately googling hasn't brought up anything.

I've just used https://www.gbfoamdirect.co.uk for some replacement sofa cushions. They cut foam to any size and delivery was quick.

Re Ebay - it was a while back so I'm not sure if the seller, but if you search upholstery foam on eBay, there are lots to choose from.
