Default I am at the foaming stage also.....

....not going made but almost.

I need to replace the saging coil springs for foam but not sure what density.

We are considering doing a sandwich of soft.... medium and hard density..... depending on price may make a few trials and drive around the back field to see which is more comfortable for the " "derriere". My coil springs tend to bottom and rattle my teeth fillings.

Also some foam will not absorb water as easily....tends to leak rain in a cab 11 !!!!!

any advice or comments based on previous expereince foaming would be appreciated.

Cheers

Default That's what I am afraid of.....

We need to make quite a few here at the barn.

Toying with the idea of medium density on top....about one inch (25mm)....soft in the middle for about inch the rest in harder density for the bottom....

Or maybe medium hard medium...... and forget the soft....... should be easy to cut to shape once glued into a block using the band saw..... just compress the foam between two sheets of plywood.

For the back rest I assume that one inch of medium foam would be enough.

Cheers
