They came highly recommended and gave me a lot of info that I had never considered for the job I was doing. I never would had stopped from the look of the place, but was very happy with them.

Calico Corners on San Jose would be a good resource- I've never asked if they had foam like you want, but if not, they would have a list of companies who do.

Before you replace the foam you can try this trick a furniture repair guy suggested
He said the reason they are sagging is from the foam getting compressed from use
He said if you have one of those portable travel steamers put a towel over the foam and steam it
He said it opens up the cells and fluffs up the foam
He also said you can use your steam iron but make sure to use a damp towel to protect the foam from the heat of the iron

^^^That's a cool trick, Karla .

There's also a foam manufacturer on Phillips Highway, south of Belfort Road on the east side of Phillips. Sorry their name escapes me, but if you drive that way, keep an eye out and you'll see a big warehouse with their name and it says they manufacture foam right under their name (I've thought if checking them out for my own project).
