What do you have about the mounded foam they use in a rv dinette table. I need to reupholster one but it has several elevated levels.

I see custom auto upholsterers layer different types of foam and other sites have recommended this also for best results and comfort. How and why are they layered and what the best foam adhesive to use? I have a 1948 Pontiac and I either want to get rid of the springs altogether or use them and start from scratch with new foam

Do you have a video that demos how to go from cushion top to round foam top loveseat?

What kind of foam would be best for a bed and seat area in a cuddy cabin? I was looking at 3 inch but not sure what would be best.

What do you recommend for creating a cushion for a harder surfaced office chair?
I weigh 200lbs and my butt starts going numb after 10 minutes with most every cushion I have tried. I am getting very frustrated. Thank you.

i am looking at your site and would like to buy something for my needs
if i may explain, i am 6'3 and 290lbs
back in october 11, 2023 i received a 3" piece of foam 22"x22" from a different retailer (Density 2.24 LB/CF ) - i sit on it every day for 8-12 hours while working from home 7 days a week
it already has flat spots from my butt and near the knees - and when i sit on it first thing in the morning, after about 20 minutes its flat and my butt hurts and my back hurts
which foam from your site would be best for my situation? cost is not an issue
thanks in advance
