Wow…..is foam rubber expensive. We picked up the foam last week but have been waiting for the zippers to arrive (had to order online). The seat is 5” of high density foam wraped in 1” of low density foam and then batting. The back is just 4” of low density foam wrapped in batting. They feel pretty comfortable. The seat is a little stiff but should break in quickly with me on it.
Hopefully Suzanne will get the cushions done this week. We bought two materials. Niether would be typical on a Morris chair but I think they both look great on this.
The only thing left on the wood is a coat of poly on the arms for protection.
She should get a final blog and be posted in the projects this weekend….....Finally!

Bob,
A few months back th wife and I started looking into replacing some cushions in the Airstream travel trailer we are restoring, “Wow” is way to mild a term for the cost of that stuff! There has to be a better way to buy that foam.

$$$$ I’m at a loss as to why it is so expensive. It is like trying to buy a 1/4” X 1” X 36” steel strap at the big orange box. It just feels wrong to pay that much.
