williams leather Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Hey a customer asked me if I could make him a foam padded sling I was looking for suggestions as to what kind of foam to use and a good place to buy it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted November 11, 2014 William, I get mine at walmart, in the school section. It's fairly thin and is already glued on the back, just cut and remove the paper. I'm sure lots of people can tell you where to get more expensive stuff, but this works good. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splash Report post Posted November 13, 2014 I dont disagree with Double C, but to me it all depends on the environment where the sling is going to be used. If it is lightly that will see rain, sweat, and any moisture for that matter, I would use close cell foam. The same thing used for Motorcycle seats.

Jimbob Report post Posted November 14, 2014 Use Neo foam, like yoga mats, it is closed cell foam, 1/8inch 1/4 inch....very cheap and super durable...BUT not as cushy as open cell foam....if using open cell foam just use stitching foam, comes in 1/8, 14, and 1/2 inch...u can get it from local upholstery shops....has fabric on one side so you can stitch over it !!! Keepthe fabric side up for better wet protection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
