Trailer Foam
 
Where is a good place to buy sheet foam to place my jets on in my trailer?

Andy,
I'm not sure if where you live has an Army surplus store but here they have all kinds of foam.
Big to small and a wide variety of different types of foam.

Tried the fabric store. Way too expensive.

Andy,
I bought mine on Ebay. Look for matress toppers and you can get like a queen or king size 2 or 3" thick memory foam for a good deal. Just gotta look carefully as some will sell for 200 bucks and then you can find one for 80 or less. The company I got mine from sold iregulars for 50 bucks and it was just like a corner that wasn't 3" and the rest was perfect. Good luck. Here to save you time. http://shop.ebay.com/items/__mattres..._scZ1QQ_sopZ15

If you go to a supplier it will be cheaper but they will charge you a min of $500.00 for $40.00 worth of foam. www.americanexcelsior.com

I got a 3" thick knock off "Memory foam" topper for a king bed from Overstock.com for $108. That was about two years ago but the shipping was right for such a heavy item:) That stuff works great as ZERO vibration gets transmitted. Dont know if they still have it though. And I am too lazy to look before I type. Scott

For my first trailer, I bought 2" foam from an upholstery supply wholesaler, and got a great deal.

Look inh the Yellow Pages for one near you. They have many thicknesses and many different firmnesses.

I did my current trailer with foam from Joann Fabric Stores, as they are nearby my new home. A little more pricey, but handy....

I bought a larger high quality piece from a local army surplus store. Several smaller pieces at a store in the Atlanta area called Hobby Lobby (its a craft store not a hobby store), they have locations in most other states.

I bought the "egg crate" type foam at Wal-Mart. They had some good prices on solid sheet foam at Academy Sports at one point.

up in the NW Fred Meyers has a large thick sheet of foam (19.99)


Similar to a Wal mart

To the guys in the New England area, I recently bought some 4"x48"x96" white for my trailer at Building 19.

To the guys NOT in the New England area, Building 19 is about 50 places below Wal-Mart's caliber. :D

Andy -

Linen's and Things - Bankrupcy Sale right now all over the US and Bed Bath and Beyond if you have time - LOL...

They will have what you need. Time is money and you can spend a lot of time bagain shopping on the internet - when you can drive 3 miles down the road and get what you need.

Hobby Lobby craft stores sell egg crate foam 24" by 72 by 3 inches thick" If one is located close to you watch your newspaper for adds. they usually have a coupon for 40% off. I get one roll at a time for about $18.00

What a great idea - I trolled thru Overstock.Com and you can still get the stuff but they are not giving it away: [link=http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Serta-Memory-Foam-3-inch-Mattress-Topper/1528629/product.html]Memory foam at Overstock.Com[/link]

Ok,
I'll mention Ebay one more time. Here's one. 3" king size memory foam for 88.00 shipped( http://cgi.ebay.com/3-KING-5-5-VISCO...286.m14.l1318? ) The memory foam is denser than that other suff at the craft stores and it handles kero and gas pretty good too. Don't know how much cheaper you can get a 3" king size for not to mention no tax.

I went right past those eBarf URLs - those are some pretty good deals, especially the 2" stuff. I don't use a trailer but that stuff on the floor of my minivan would be just the ticket. Thanks for being persistent!! [8D]

The persistence comes from having two boys who don't listen to a word I say........THE FIRST TIME[:@]. The second time is a different story:D.
