Nerding out on seat cushion foam...what to get

[jonny rotten]

Does it really matter that much between open cell and closed cell...anti microbial or fast dry? I'm reading some last between three and seven years and others between 7 and 10... density and all sorts of other stuff..I'm redoing the back two seats and the long flip up section. It's an older boat but I would like the seats to last after I do it..sailrite numbers are way more than everyone else and I've been told by an upholstery guy that the dry foam falls apart... What to get that's in reason and quality

Guess nobody likes foam LOL

Bolsters and horse collars are P80, center of cushion is P65

You need anti-microbial, or bacteria will cause pinking.

If you have a lot of stitching or quilting you want 1-1/2" of dryfast under the 1-1/2 to 2" of foam

Googling P65 and P80 seat foam and any other combination of words brings up nothing..any help

See your local upholstery supply house or your local upholstery shop

The P65 or P80 is the density of foam

Look at reliatex or similar supply houses
