	Medium - (V33 kilo) A 33 kilo density medium feel foam. Our best selling domestic furniture foam. Ideal for many household seating applications, also suitable for use in caravan & boat seating/sleeping areas. For a higher density firm feel foam see our High/Firm CM40/RX39 grade. Colour will be green, light pink or light blue depending on the batch.
	Soft - (120N) A soft feel foam. Recommended uses are back cushions, softer feel armchair and sofa cushions (at depths of 6 inches and above), headboards & sunloungers. Also if you have a cushion in a boat, caravan or motorhome/campervan that is used purely as a mattress and is at least 3" thick then this foam makes a softer bed than the medium/firm or high firm foams. Colour will be light green or pink.
	RX Flex - (40-42 kilo) This is a 40 kilo high density softer feel foam. A luxurious feel foam recommended when replacing feather or fibre filled cushions with foam. Particularly suitable for settee & sofa cushions with a minimum thickness of 5" or for mattress overlays at 2" deep (to soften a too hard mattress). Its high density ensures a long life and it returns quickly to its original shape after being sat on, unlike many soft feel foams. Colour will be grey.
	High/Firm - (CMP40/RX39) Our most popular firm feel foam. A high density firm foam extensively used for base cushions in armchairs & settees where the depth of the cushion does not exceed 5". Also very popular at depths of 1", 2" & 3" for dining, kitchen and garden chairs, window seats, etc. Probably the best foam available for seating & bedding in caravans (we have it in our own caravan) & boats. Colour will be blue.
	Laminate The answer to cushions in boats, caravans and motorhomes that have to be a seat during the day and convert into a bed at night. If you find that the normal firm foams make a too hard mattress then this is the product for you. Manufactured using our high/firm foam for the base with our softer Reflex foam on the top. The foam consists of approximately 2/3 firm base with 1/3 softer topper. Available 3", 4", 5" and 6" thick. Providing your cushions are not wider than 30" (76cm) we will fit a stockinette liner on the foam for no extra charge.
	Very Firm - (6lb Recon) A very high density foam. Used where maximum support is required. Often used as a base to which a softer foam is bonded to. Suitable for high usage applications, bar seating etc.
	Packaging - (H.L.B.) A Non Flame retardant Foam, Dark Grey in colour for packaging. You can cut holes in this foam to accommodate cameras etc.
