When designing your Custom Cushions project, the type of foam you choose is an important step. We offer a selection of high-quality seating foams, designed for optimal comfort and longevity. One of our foams is different from the rest, and that’s our quick drying foam. Quick-Dry foam is designed to withstand exposure to water. Unlike standard foam, it repels moisture and water wont absorb into the foams cells. It’s for this reason that Quick-Dry foam is a popular choice for marine applications, or outdoor furniture which is going to be left outside, not under cover.

Quick-Dry foam enhances comfort by preventing the buildup of dampness and mold. Composed of open-cell polyurethane, its structure allows air to circulate freely, expediting drying times, and allows water to run right through. This foam is ideal for humid environments or spaces exposed to frequent spills, such as boat squabs, poolside loungers, and select outdoor furniture. Its moisture-resistant properties also contribute to the longevity of furniture, reducing the risk of deterioration. When standard foam is exposed to water frequently, it deteriorates much faster, as standard upholstery foams aren’t designed to come in contact with water. With quick dry foam, comfort and convenience converge, offering a practical solution for those seeking resilient, fast-drying seating and cushioning options. This foam performs best when paired with a water resistant upholstery fabric, like marine vinyl.
