      Our medium foam, so HD36-Regular or HD36-HQ is suggested.

      Thank you for the response. This will not be too firm will it? I was thinking 3 inches thick once I decide. Do you believe that would be sufficient?

    • @foamfactoryinc.48044
      @foamfactoryinc.48044 3 дні тому

      3" or thinner, firm Lux foam is suggested. 4" or thicker, medium HD36 foam is suggested.

    Sir, first I’d like to thank you for creating this detailed video, but forgive me if I miss your explanation given in your demonstration, but I’m a heavy guy and I could tell exactly what weights the plates were, that you placed on the various cushions in your demonstration. Perhaps you might help me if I gave you my body weight, and you might suggest to me what you would believe to be the best cushion for a person weighing between 275- 300 pounds? I found it interesting to learn from your video, that there is a real specific difference, between, “density & firmness!” So, if someone could, kindly give which cushion your company could please recommend with my listed weight I'd given above. Thank you. Respectfully, -Larry

    Hello! I recently purchased some of your foam. It's fantastic! I layered 3" super soft over 4" lux. I love it, but I am concerned that the super soft will not hold up over time. Would replacing the super soft with an inch or two of HED36 accomplish the same texture? Thank you!

    • @foamfactoryinc.48044
      @foamfactoryinc.48044 3 місяці тому

      We would suggest replacing the Super Soft with 3" of HD36 foam for durability and comfort. Super Soft foam is typically used for seat backs or bedding. Super Soft is typically not used in seating applications.

    I have a brand new golf cart which has a very firm seat. I was thinking about replacing and recovering the foam, maybe with one of your LUX products, though it appeared firmer than the HD product. I don't want to bottom out with a softer product but definitely need something more comfortable. Do you have a recommendation?

    • @foamfactoryinc.48044
      @foamfactoryinc.48044 3 місяці тому

      If you are going 4" or thicker, then you could use our medium HD36 foam. For 3" or less, our firm Lux foam is suggested.

    Nice video, what about computer chair cushion replacement? I can't believe how many of these cushion on amazon have giant holes in them, well that might be ok for a tail bone, but the hole is so big I'm pretty sure sitting on them long term is going to be bad for developing other issues if ya know what I mean. If doughnut cushions were good for you they would make them that way originally. I'm about 215 and I need to elevate my seat cushion by about 3 inches (Arms of the chair are to tall). So what thickness would a person need get get around that if looking at a Lux-R ?

    Agreed. This is a great video. Direct, calm information with no superfluous blather. I now know there is a difference between "firmness" and "density". People do many things and one of the things they sometimes do is "sit". I am comforted knowing there is a science to it. Explains why I like some chairs more than others. I just never thought of all that before. Cheers.

      Not really. He said there isn't a direct correlation between level of firmness and density like you might think, and that higher density equals longer lasting no matter the firmness rating. This was exactly the information that I was looking for. Not mentioned by the gentleman in the video, but if you're looking for the longest lasting, most durable foam, generally natural latex foam will be your best bet. However, it is _heavy_ stuff, and needs to be protected from liquid moisture.

    • @foamfactoryinc.48044

      For that application, we would typically suggest the Lux foam. At 1" thick, the HD36 might bottom out.
