RX39/120 Orange Foam Sheet

RX39/120 Orange Foam Sheet

RX39/120 Orange Foam Sheet is a soft-medium upholstery foam and one of the most popular grades for customers looking for a softer cushion feel without moving to an exceptionally soft foam.

It is particularly because the finished feel changes depending on the thickness and construction of the cushion. RX39/120 works particularly well for thicker seat cushions where a comfortable medium feel is required, while thinner cushions will generally feel softer and more yielding.

Supplied in large 94" x 80" (240cm x 203cm) sheets, RX39/120 is a popular choice for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers and workshops producing comfortable domestic seating and specialist layered cushions.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa seat cushions
• Armchair cushions
• Thicker medium-feel cushions
• Softer thinner seat cushions
• Replacement furniture cushions
• Comfort layers over firmer foam
• Layered cushion constructions
• Arm wraps
• General upholstery padding
• Soft foam mattresses
• Furniture refurbishment

For other densities and firmness options, see the complete range of Foam Sheets.

Popular Soft-Medium Upholstery Foam

RX39/120 offers a useful combination of higher-quality foam construction with a softer compression feel.

This makes it very different from simply choosing a low-density soft foam.

It is particularly useful where the customer wants a comfortable and yielding cushion but still requires a quality upholstery foam suitable for seating applications.

RX39/120 can therefore bridge the gap between very soft cushion foams and firmer conventional seating grades.

RX39/120 for Sofa & Chair Cushions

One of the main applications for RX39/120 is comfortable sofa and armchair seat cushions.

It is particularly useful where a customer does not enjoy a hard or very firm seating surface.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa seat cushions
• Armchair cushions
• Lounge furniture
• Replacement seat cushions
• Large upholstered cushions
• Bespoke seating
• Domestic furniture refurbishment

The finished feel will depend on the cushion dimensions, foam thickness, furniture construction and the weight and preferences of the person using it.

How Foam Thickness Affects the Feel of RX39/120

Foam grade alone does not determine how a finished cushion will feel.

The thickness of the foam has a significant effect on perceived firmness.

RX39/120 is particularly useful because:

• In a thicker cushion, it can provide a comfortable medium feel with plenty of depth for compression.
• In a thinner cushion, the finished result will generally feel softer and more yielding.

This makes RX39/120 a choice for upholsterers working with furniture of different cushion depths.

Where substantially firmer support is required, a different grade from the Foam Sheets range may be more appropriate.

RX39/120 for Replacement Cushions

RX39/120 is particularly suitable when replacing existing sofa or chair cushion interiors where the customer wants a comfortable, softer seating feel.

For an improved finished appearance, the foam can be wrapped with Polyester Wadding.

Polyester wadding can help:

• Soften the edges of the foam
• Add loft
• Create a fuller cushion profile
• Reduce the appearance of sharp foam corners
• Improve the finished appearance beneath upholstery fabric

A Roll of Stockinette can then be fitted over the foam or wadding-wrapped cushion to reduce friction and make inserting the cushion into a close-fitting cover easier.

Need Standard RX39/120 Cushion Sizes?

If you require standard cushion dimensions rather than a complete foam sheet, RX39/120 is also available as RX39/120 Orange Cushions.

These ready-sized cushions are particularly useful for repeat upholstery work where one of the standard dimensions suits the application.

For unusual sizes, shaped cushions or foam manufactured to your exact measurements, use the Foam Cut to Size service instead.

RX39/120 as a Comfort Layer Over Firmer Foam

RX39/120 is also popular as a softer comfort layer over a firmer supporting foam base.

This type of layered construction allows each foam grade to perform a different job.

The lower layer provides the required support while the RX39/120 upper layer creates a softer, more comfortable surface.

Layered constructions can be useful for:

• Sofa seating
• Banquette seating
• Bench cushions
• Contract seating
• Furniture refurbishment
• Bespoke cushion interiors
• Specialist upholstery applications

Where an especially firm supporting layer is required, RX39/120 can be combined with Reconstituted Foam Sheet.

Suitable foam layers can be bonded using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive 500ml where appropriate.

The correct combination of grades and thicknesses depends on the application. If you need help planning a layered cushion construction, please contact us.

RX39/120 for Arm Wraps & Upholstery Padding

RX39/120 can also be used for arm wraps and general furniture padding.

Its softer feel makes it useful where the foam needs to create a comfortable padded surface beneath upholstery fabric rather than provide the principal structural support.

Applications can include:

• Sofa arms
• Chair arms
• Furniture padding
• Upholstered panels
• Furniture refurbishment
• General upholstery shaping

For fixed upholstery work or suitable foam bonding, Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive 500ml is a useful workshop addition.

Soft Foam for Mattresses

RX39/120 can also be used for softer foam mattress applications.

Potential uses include:

• Soft foam mattresses
• Caravan mattresses
• Campervan sleeping areas
• Motorhome mattresses
• Boat berths
• Guest mattresses
• Bespoke sleeping platforms

Because mattress comfort is highly subjective, the finished thickness of the foam is just as important as the grade itself.

If you are unsure whether RX39/120 will provide the right sleeping feel, please contact us before ordering.
