Bring Comfort Outdoors

March 19, 2014 By

If you want to add comfort to your home, don’t forget about the outdoors too. Most of us have a porch or deck we love to use in order to get outdoors under some sun while still enjoying plenty of creature comforts. That last word is especially important, which is why so many people turn to The Foam Factory for help making the most of their outdoor areas.

When it comes to finding the right cushion filling for your outdoor area, you’re at one major disadvantage. Unlike, say, your living room, you can’t simply buy any option you please. The outdoor elements would quickly ravage them and you’d be left with unseemly and uncomfortable furniture no one will want to sit in.

Even if you hope to bring your cushions in or store them every day, keep in mind rainwater is not the only enemy here.

Fortunately there are options like dryfast foam that can be used. Not only is this option extremely comfortable, but it’s also equally resilient. No matter what kind of weather your porch or deck is hit with, this foam will fight back in a major way.

So make sure the outdoors are as comfortable as can be with foam cushions built for what it takes.

Foam is a versatile material than can be used to revive old furniture seats and cushions. In fact, a growing number of furniture owners are using foam to update everything from chairs and couches to benches and outdoor patio seats. Many people prefer working with foam because it’s affordable, flexible, and extremely easy to use.

If you’re in the market for upholstery foam, you might be overwhelmed with the many options for sale. From flexible polyurethane foam to Dryfast outdoor foam, there are countless types of foam to choose from. But fret not. With a little research and helpful information, it’s easy to find the foam you need for your DIY upholstery project. Use the following tips to find upholstery foam according to your project requirements.

Choose the right foam retailer. Before you can buy foam, you will need to find a trusted retailer. Whether you find one online or at your local mall, make sure that the retailer specializes in foam products. This means that the retailer’s main business is selling foam. Purchasing upholstery foam from a specialized dealer such as Canada Foam by Mail ensures that you’re getting a higher quality product. In addition, a specialized foam retailer will know more about foam than a mega retailer that sells thousands of different items. The right foam retailer can answer all of your questions and help you find the right type of foam your project.

Find the right type of foam. When searching for upholstery foam, you will need to narrow your search based on the type of furniture you plan to revive. For example, if you need foam to replace couch backing cushions, we recommend super soft foam. This foam usually lasts about five years and can also be used as a mattress or a mattress topper. If you need longer-lasting foam, consider high quality upholstery foam, which lasts up to 16 years.

Outdoor furniture and marine seating also requires different type of foam. If you plan to use the foam for outdoor patio furniture or boat cushions, it’s important to buy outdoor-ready foam. Outdoor foam is designed to withstand rain and other outdoor conditions without falling prey to mold and bacteria.

Purchase the right amount and size. Many foam retailers sell foam in standard sizes and shapes. However, the right retailer can custom cut foam to fit your needs. It’s important to properly measure the cushions or seats you plan to replace. Then, use the measurements to order new foam. You can ask the retailer to cut the foam, or purchase large sheets and cut the foam on your own using a using an electronic knife or sharp carving knife.

Revitalizing your Room with Upholstery Foam

January 31, 2014 By

Written By:  Canada Foam By Mail

A bit of foam can drastically alter the appearance of any room. You can add upholstery foam to old and sagging couches, or reupholster furniture and repurpose other items to create the shabby-chic look. The result beautifies the home, but serves to keep things at a cost-efficient price.

Simply changing the upholstery foam on any piece of furniture creates a fuller appearance and instantly revitalizes the older piece. Give sagging couches a face lift without paying costly fees to refurbish them.

Changing Upholstery

Changing the upholstery foam also makes furniture more comfortable, as it’s plusher and more buoyant. Take off old upholstery and any old staples from the dust cover, unfasten the frame of the furniture and remove the old upholstery foam. To refill, measure and cut the new foam and then seal the upholstery with tacks, staples and other methods.

Applications

A bay window provides a beautiful focal point to the room, a relaxing retreat to have morning tea or coffee, and adds dimension to any room. Create a comfortable place to sit in your bay window by adding upholstery foam covered with fabric that accents the surrounding décor. Simply measure the area that needs to be covered and cut the foam according to those dimensions. Then cover the foam with fabric to complete the look. Add pillows and a throw blanket for extra elegance and comfort.

Covering a chest with upholstery foam and fabric provides a nice seating area—whether the chest is situated at the foot of a bed or casually along a wall. You can also extend the size of you bed by laying discount memory foam mattress over pieces of furniture that are level with the bed, like a chest or an ottoman.

Add upholstery foam to anything imaginable to create something new. Any flat surface, that has sturdy legs and upholstery foam added to it can serve as a stool, bench or ottoman. By getting a cost-efficient mattress from Canada, one’s budget can stay at a minimal amount.

Final Thoughts

Decorating on a budget is completely possible; it just requires looking at old things in a new way and thinking out of the box by repurposing items. Using old pieces of furniture to create new accents for the home is also a fun hobby. By purchasing upholstery foam from Canada, you can keep costs low while revitalizing your home.

Selecting Cushions for Outdoors

January 24, 2014 By

Plenty of us have furniture outside our homes. It’s a great way to enjoy nature or take in some sun while still remaining comfortable. But comfort often comes with foam cushions to enjoy. Whether you’re selecting furniture or looking to replace your current choices, keep reading for some tips on selection cushions for outside your home.

Unless you plan on bringing in your cushions when you’re not outside using them, you need to pick dryfast foam for your cushions. The truth is that there are other options. For example, your cushions may be waterproof and designed to keep water out from their interiors. But this often just isn’t the case. Between the constant attention from the sun and the type of wear and tear mother nature can deliver on a regular basis, most cushions give in and let water soak their insides.

Dryfast foam is designed for this eventuality, though. It won’t retain water like other materials do and, in fact, it’s great for fighting fungus from growing.

Best of all its very affordable and you won’t be sacrificing quality. This foam is extremely comfortable to sit on and will maintain its shape for years.

Whether you’re in the market for yacht cushions or cushions for your patio, you can’t go wrong with dryfast foam.  It’s a great option that doesn’t cost much yet still delivers all the right benefits.

Calling In The Experts

January 16, 2014 By

A life in Los Angeles is a dream for a lot of people. The exquisite standards of living, the possible career opportunities and the social status are all sought after by many. The thing with this particular lifestyle though is that life is very fast-paced, a lot can happen in a short period of time and therefore, every minute, every second counts. When every moment is crucial and one rarely has enough time to spend time cleaning and doing other mundane household tasks, it is best to call in the experts in cleaning Beverly Hills residences.

                By experts, I am referring to phone-in maid services that go to your house to attend to your household requirements and leave as soon as they’re done and pay only for the duration of the service. You can go about your daily routine without having to worry about anything and come simply come home to a well-kept house. Permanent stay-in maids Los Angeles can be quite difficult and can be quite costly because of the labour code. This brings us to utilizing “phone-in” cleaning services so while you’re at work, people from the Burbank office, located at 315 W. Verdugo Ave, Ste 209, Burbank, CA 91502, simply drop by, render service, and leave before you get back.

                Time is very valuable in this fast-paced life and we can choose to clean up after ourselves while doing other things, or simply call in the experts to do the dirty work so we don’t have to.

Artificial Grass Saves You Time and Money

January 15, 2014 By

There are a lot of costs that you have to pay for when you have to maintain a naturally growing lawn of grass. There’s water, fertilizer and the labor of trimming it down when it gets a little too long.  When you accumulate all these costs in a year, you’ll be surprised that it costs about an arm and a leg just to maintain something as inconsequential as your front lawn. So why waste money by just maintaining your lawn? You could have spent that money on something more productive or something you can enjoy more.

One product that you can invest in is artificial residential turf. It’s basically synthetic polyethylene fibers that resemble the shape, texture, and feel of real grass. Being synthetic, it doesn’t need any more labor than the first time you install it on your lawn. You don’t need any more water or fertilizer and it even stays the same length so you don’t have to trim it down periodically. The cost of maintenance and labour of having a natural growing lawn would surely be more than the one time artificial grass cost and the fact that this maintenance doesn’t stop after a year would only make those costs much worse for you and your family.

Think about it, plastic is probably the way to go, it saves you time and money, and it’s even more resilient than natural grass which means it’ll probably last longer than normal grass under daily abuse.

Artificial Turf Supply is an online wholesaler of synthetic turf grass for residential and corporate use.

Tips for Painting Interior Doors

January 14, 2014 By

Whether you are repainting an interior door or adding paint to it for the first time, giving your door a splash of paint is a great way to add color to your home and make your door look fresh. However, if done wrong it can also be a source of headaches.

Before you start painting your interior doors, it’s a good idea to have a game plan and know how you want to do it. Here are a few things to consider before you put your paintbrush to your door:

  • If you are painting a door with a dark color, you’ll need to be extra careful. Darker colors show lines more readily than lighter coats, so you want to take your time to apply even coverage.
  • Decide if you want to use a full gloss paint or semi-gloss. Glossy paint can add brightness to a room when done right. However, it can be overwhelming and is typically harder to clean than a semi-gloss paint.
  • Start at the top and work your way down when you are painting a wooden door. The reason to do this is obvious: paint will drip down and you don’t want to drip paint on areas that have already had a coat applied. You also need to make sure that you apply paint in the same direction as the grain of the wood in order to get a smooth finish.
  • Make sure that you use high-end materials when painting your doors. Skimping on paints, brushes and other items will only mean that you get a result that isn’t as nice looking as it could be.
