FOAM for bedding

Post by chiz »

I am looking at replacing some crappy foam matresses that are on my soon to be fitted SCA elevating roof. Does anybody have any thoughts on the spec for them? where to by them at a good price? If I was looking to match 1990 multivan grey material to blend with the seats where could i buy this material?

I am sure somebody must have done this already and hold all the knowledge.

Hi chiz,
have no idea where to get the material, but you can get foam and covers made very reasonaly by the Pluss organisation in Exeter.
There was quite a long thread in camping section - search for Pluss and see what comes up. Did all mine by mail order - was a fantastic service

I got army matresses (unused) from a place just outsie baldock.. I have searched for the threads but think they have been archived.... :(
£5 each it worked out to be £15 rather than sixty something "pre cut" from JK.

If I do find the company and it iws reachable by you.. then we cut ours withs an electrice carning knife from argos.

I will ride by the location tomorrow they have a web site, it doesn't really have their proper stock in you need to phone them on the day to see what they have..

it literally was £5 each for 6' / 21/2' / 3" foam brand new.

TPS / TLS / PLS... I will write it down. I am sure I found the place on here, they do office second office funiture normally.
