At Direct Foam, we make it as simple as possible for you to get the foam you need to rejuvenate your boat or yacht cushions.
Many manufacturers don’t provide the specialist requirements for those customers who need to replace or restore their boat cushions. Because many of our customers need cushions made of unconventional sizes or from a certain grade of foam, we stock a variety of foam grades and can cut them to any shape and size.
Reticulated Foam for Boat or Yacht Cushions
Many types of foam absorb water so when the foam becomes wet, it’s no longer suitable for use until it has dried. Foam that consistently gets wet is also likely to break down more quickly and therefore needs replacing more frequently, so when it comes to boat cushions, you will need a specialist foam that is resistant to water.
Reticulated foam is a special type of foam that is commonly used near water. Unlike other types of foam, it is made in a mesh-like structure which allows the foam to act like a sieve. This means that it will stay drier for longer when coming into contact with water.
Reticulated foam isn’t just used for boat cushions. It’s often used to create outdoor and garden furniture cushions that are at risk of getting wet. Poolside furniture, such as sun loungers and cushions which are exposed to adverse weather conditions, are usually made using reticulated foam.
Direct Foam is one of the few foam suppliers in the UK that stocks reticulated foam so if you need water-resistant boat cushions, we can produce them for you using this specialist foam.
You can order foam cushions for your boat or yacht using our foam product cut to size service. Once you’ve selected the shape you require and input your measurements, you can select reticulated foam from the list provided.
If you are not sure whether reticulated foam is right for your requirements then speak to one of our friendly, experienced team. They can give you advice to help you make the right decision.
Taking Your Foam Measurements
We don’t recommend taking measurements from the old pieces of foam from inside your cushions when replacing your boat cushions. This is because old foam can become worn out or misshapen and so won’t provide you with accurate measurements.
The best way is to measure your old boat cushions to create the template as these will be more precise. You can easily enter your required measurements on our online foam calculator which will provide you with a quote for your new foam cushions. If you require any assistance, just get in touch. We’re here to help!
