Custom Cut Foam Rubber

Bring the measurements - or the old cushion - and we'll cut foam to fit, usually while you wait. A Hull Street Outlet service since the 1950s.

A Richmond First

We've Been Cutting Foam Since Before Most Stores Sold It

Sam Finn was, by all accounts, the first retail merchant in America to offer custom cut foam rubber to the public. Seventy-odd years later it's still one of the reasons people walk through the door - and still done the same way: you tell us the size, we cut it to the size.

There's no minimum order, no week-long wait, and no need to buy a full sheet when you need one cushion. Most cuts are done while you wait.

Not sure of the size? Bring the old cushion, the seat frame, or the cover. We'll measure it here and cut to match.

What It's For

Anything That Needs to Be the Right Size

What we cut foam for

Furniture Cushions

Sofa and chair seats, backs, window seats and bench pads. Replace a collapsed cushion without reupholstering the whole piece.

Boat & Camper Seats

Replacement cushions for boat benches, V-berths, camper dinettes and RV bunks - cut to the odd shapes those spaces actually are.

Mattress Toppers

Standard sizes, plus the ones nobody stocks: bunks, antique frames, truck sleepers, daybeds and futons.

Sound Absorption

Panels for practice rooms, studios, equipment enclosures and workshops, cut to the wall or the cabinet you're treating.

Packing & Cases

Protective inserts for tool cases, instrument cases, camera gear and shipping crates.

Shop & Job Site

Kneeling pads, drawer liners, gasket stock and anti-vibration blocking - cut from the same sheets, priced by the piece.

How It Works

Three Steps, One Visit

  1. Measure, or bring the old one

    Length, width and thickness is all we need. If you'd rather not guess, bring the cushion or the frame and we'll measure it at the counter.

  2. Pick a density

    Soft for toppers and backs, medium for general seating, firm for cushions that get sat on every day. We'll walk you through what suits the job.

  3. We cut it while you wait

    Most orders are cut on the spot. Larger or unusual jobs may take longer - we'll tell you before you leave, not after.
