Church Kneelers & Church Pews FAQs

What is the best foam for church kneelers?

The best foam for church kneelers is a firm, hard-wearing foam that provides support without feeling too harsh on the knees. We usually recommend CMB6 6LB chip foam for replacement church kneelers because it is durable, supportive and suitable for frequent use.

What foam is best for church pew cushions?

For church pew cushions, we recommend either CMB6 6LB chip foam or CMF35H foam. CMB6 is a very firm and hard-wearing option, while CMF35H is a firm seating foam that works well for pew cushions where comfort and support are both important.

Can church kneeler foam be cut to size?

Yes, church kneeler foam can be cut to any size or shape. F.C. Hancox can supply replacement foam for church kneelers using your exact measurements, making it suitable for both individual kneelers and larger church refurbishment projects. Simply visit the foam-cut-to-size page select the shape you need and add dimensions then choose your foam.

Can you replace the foam in church pew cushions?

Yes, the foam inside church pew cushions can be replaced without needing to replace the whole cushion provided that the cover can be removed, or easily undone and resewn. Use the cover to find the correct measurements. See our guide to measuring for new foam here: How to Measure Foam. New foam can improve comfort, support and appearance, especially where existing pew cushions have become flat, soft or misshapen over time.

How thick should foam be for church kneelers?

The ideal foam thickness for church kneelers depends on the kneeler design and the level of comfort required. Many kneelers use a firm foam thick enough to protect the knees while still fitting neatly into the existing frame or cover.

How thick should church pew cushions be?

Church pew cushions are often made using foam between 1 inch and 3 inches thick, depending on the pew style, seat depth and required comfort level. Thicker foam can provide more comfort for longer services, while thinner foam may suit traditional pews where a lower profile is preferred. If using existing covers, thickness will be dictated by the size of the cover. F.C. Hancox can cut foam to any size and shape.

Is chip foam good for church kneelers?

Yes, chip foam is a good choice for church kneelers because it is dense, firm and hard-wearing. CMB6 6LB chip foam is particularly suitable for kneelers and other frequently used items because it provides long-lasting support.

Is firm foam better for church pews?

Firm foam is usually better for church pews because it offers support and helps the cushion keep its shape. Softer foams may feel comfortable at first but can flatten more quickly, especially on pews that are used regularly by a congregation.

How do I measure church kneelers or pew cushions for replacement foam?

To measure church kneelers or pew cushions for replacement foam, measure the length, width and thickness of the existing cover or the space that the foam needs to fit.  Here is our guide on measuring. How to Measure Foam.  For less regular shapes, on our foam-cut-to-size page, select the shape nearest to your needs and provide the measurements indicated on the diagram.  If the cushion shape is unusual, a template may be needed so the replacement foam can be cut accurately.

Can church pew foam improve comfort for elderly churchgoers?
