Making outdoor cushions-foam?

13 years ago

So far, no plant will grow on my back porch, although I'm trying again (one last time...)this year. It faces west, so bright shade all day, then the blowtorch of the setting sun.

Anyway, in an effort to add some color and pattern out there, I'm making cushions and toss pillows for our patio furniture.

My question is about the foam to use. Since these will only be used seasonally, I don't really feel compelled to buy the best quality foam. On the other hand, with upholstery foam, you do get what you pay for, and if I'm going to invest in the fabric and time to make them, I don't want to cheap out on the foam, only to have to replace it sooner rather than later. But then...we usually have summers with at least a month or two of 100+ heat.

Have you bought and used a foam that you like? Any recommendations for online retailers? After browsing the internet, the foam sold at Joann's seems to be greatly overpriced and poor quality, based on other's reviews.
