Custom Foam Blocks Made to Your Measurements

Finding a ready-made foam block in precisely the right size isn’t always easy. And anyone who has tried to cut foam will know it’s very hard to get straight edges.

So, instead of buying something that’s too large and trying to cut it yourself, F.C. Hancox’s foam cut-to-size service allows you to order a block of foam that is the exact size that you need and cut to perfection.

We can cut foam blocks for:

• Seating and upholstery
• Furniture repairs
• Bench and window seats
• Campervans and caravans
• Packaging and protection
• Displays and exhibitions
• Props and creative projects
• Crafts and DIY
• Bespoke projects
• Cubes for foam pits

To order, go to our foam cut to size page, select the shape you need and enter the dimensions as shown on the illustration. You can use inches or centimetres.

Choose the foam that’s right for your project and that’s it, place your order and your new foam will be with you in no time at all!

ORDER A CUSTOM FOAM BLOCK

Foam Cubes Cut to Size

Perhaps you’re looking for a foam cube rather than a rectangular block? We can cut those too.

On the foam cut to size page, simply click on the ‘square, rectangle foam cube’ shape then enter the same length, width and thickness to create a cube in the size you require.

Our foam cubes can be used for crafts, displays, props, padding, packaging and all sorts of unusual projects.

You can order a single foam cube or several and they can be matching pieces or different sizes, depending on what you need.

Looking for Foam Pit Cubes?

If you need foam cubes specifically for a gymnastics, trampoline or recreational foam pit, visit our dedicated Foam Pit Cubes page where we also recommend foams for this purpose.

Large Foam Blocks Cut to Size

Maybe you need something bigger than a pit cube or a seat cushion pad. That’s no problem at all.

F.C. Hancox can supply large foam blocks cut to size for projects where a standard cushion-sized piece of foam isn’t suitable.

Large foam blocks can be useful for:

• Large seating areas
• Bespoke furniture
• Upholstery
• Campervan conversions
• Caravan seating and beds
• Props and scenery
• Displays and exhibitions
• Packaging and protection
• Other bespoke projects

The maximum size available will depend on the type of foam you need.

If you’re looking for a particularly large block or are unsure which foam would be suitable for your project, then do get in touch.

You can send us your measurements and tell us what you’re making. We’ll let you know what’s available and which foam we’d recommend.

Alternatively, give us a call on 01202 486956, our technicians are always happy to help.

Firm and Supportive Foam Blocks

If your foam block is going to be used for seating, or will be slept on, choosing the right foam is important.

A foam block for a bench seat, for example, needs to provide much more support than a block being used for a craft project or a display.

We offer different foam options to suit different uses, including firmer and more supportive foam for seating, furniture and mattresses.

We don’t expect customers to understand all the different foam grades before ordering. Call or email and we’ll be happy to advise if you need firm or supportive foams.

Just tell us:

• What you’re making
• The size of the foam
• Whether it will be sat or slept on
• How often it will be used

We’ll help you choose a suitable foam.

What Can Foam Blocks Be Used For?

Foam blocks are incredibly versatile and can be used for everything from replacing an old seat cushion to building something completely unique.

Here are some of the most common applications.

Foam Blocks for Seating

Foam blocks can be cut to size for many different types of seating, including:

• Bench seats
• Window seats
• Dining seats
• Chairs and stools
• Built-in seating
• Campervan seats
• Caravan seating
• Boat seating

If you’re replacing existing foam, it’s easy to order. If the old foam isn’t misshapen or flat, then you could measure that. You can measure a cover, or you can measure the space the foam needs to fit into. If you need help with measuring here is a guide: How to Measure Foam.

If in doubt, or if you’re creating a completely new seat, tell us what you’re making, and we’ll help you to choose an appropriate foam.

Visit our dedicated Campervan Foam Cut to Size and Caravan Cushion Foam pages for more information, including recommended foams.

Foam Blocks for Packaging and Protection

Foam blocks can be used to provide extra cushioning around products, equipment and other items during storage or transportation.

Because the foam can be cut to the exact size and shape that you need, foam blocks are useful for when standard packaging doesn’t provide the protection or fit that you need.

The type of foam you need for packaging will depend upon the amount of protection required. At F.C. Hancox, we pride ourselves on offering the best foam for the job so do get in touch if you are unsure which foam to choose for packaging.

Which Foam Block Should I Choose?

For seating and furniture

Choose a foam designed to provide support and cope with regular use. Find out more here:  Seating Foam for Chairs, Sofas & Cushions.

For occasional-use projects

You may not need the same level of support and durability required for everyday seating. Our general-purpose foam is our range of CMF foams. CMF Foam.

For outdoor projects

If the foam will regularly get wet or remain outdoors, you’ll need a foam designed for outdoor use. Our specialist outdoor foam is Calipore. Read more here: Outdoor Foam.

For crafts, props and displays

The best foam will depend upon the project and how the foam will be used. We are here to offer you the best foam for whatever project you are undertaking, whether for a theatre prop, a craft cushion or costume for a carnival.

Call or email and tell us what you’re making and what you need the foam to do, we can then advise you of which of our foams will be the most suitable. And then we can cut it to any shape or size.

If you know what foam to choose, then head for the foam-cut-to-size page and follow the easy instructions. You new foam will be with you in next to no time.

Foam Blocks FAQs

Can you cut foam blocks to any size?

Yes, we can cut foam blocks to almost any size. The maximum size will depend on the type of foam required, so contact us if you need a particularly large block.

Can you cut foam cubes to size?

Yes. Simply visit or foam cut to size page and follow the easy steps. For foam cubes the sides are of equal size, so insert the same measurement for each side  and we can cut a foam cube to your measurements.

What’s the difference between a foam block and a foam cube?

A foam cube has the same measurement on every side. A foam block can be rectangular, so its length, width and thickness can all be different.

Do you sell high density foam blocks?

We offer different foam options, including supportive foam suitable for seating and upholstery. If you’re searching for “high density foam” because you need something firm or supportive, tell us what you’re making, and we’ll recommend the most suitable option. Choose your most convenient contact method here: Contact F.C. Hancox Foam.

Can you cut large foam blocks?

Yes, although the maximum size depends on the foam you choose. If you need a particularly large block, please send us your dimensions and a few details and we’ll confirm what’s available. Email: info@fchancoxfoam.co.uk

Can I order several foam blocks in the same size?

Yes. You can order multiple pieces cut to matching dimensions.

Which foam block is best for seating?

It depends on the type of seat, the thickness of the foam and how frequently it will be used. Tell us what you’re making and we’ll help you choose. See our seating foam page or get in touch, our staff will be happy to help.

Can foam blocks be used outdoors?

If the foam is likely to get wet, you’ll need a suitable outdoor foam rather than standard upholstery foam. We offer Calipore Outdoor Foam for outdoor applications. You can find out more about Calipore foam here: Outdoor Foam.

Can you cut other foam shapes?

Yes. As well as rectangular blocks and cubes, our Foam Cut to Size service offers many other shapes. Choose the shape nearest to your needs and add the dimensions as requested on the illustration or contact us if you need something more unusual.
