Do these prices seem high for Hi-Density Foam?

    no not at all, before we shut down at work it had gone up sky high, blame the lemmings following the global warming lies off the cliff. it costs a lot more to make foam now with the EPA making you bend over. You ought to see the price on fire retardant aircraft certified stuff like that. :eek: try over a hundred a sheet like that

    The prices listed aren't by the sheet, it's by the yard.

    I wasa floored when I went and bought the foam for my front seat.. Stupid foam costs as much st the zodiac vinyl.. It is not cheap. I finally found an industrial foam supply place that sold to the public and got it down to a reasonable level.

    this is where I got mine in dallas, you should be able to find a similar place near you. It will give you prices on this website, so you should have an idea what wholesalers sell it for.
