When reupholstering furniture, cushion comfort is everything. And that comfort starts with what’s inside — the foam. At Leon Custom Upholstery, we help clients understand how foam density affects comfort, longevity, and performance. In this post, we’ll explore the different types of foam densities using both PCF (pounds per cubic foot) and HR foam grading systems such as HR35, HR40, and HR50, plus we'll discuss the best applications — including for outdoor use with Dry Fast Foam.

When it comes to reupholstering furniture, one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the right cushion insert. The cushion not only affects the look and feel of your furniture but also plays a significant role in its comfort and longevity. At our upholstery shop, we often get asked about the different types of cushion inserts available. In this blog post, we'll discuss the two most common types: foam inserts and down-filled inserts. Understanding their characteristics can help you make the best choice for your furniture.
