No matter where in Canada you live, everyone needs cushions for their home. Otherwise, how can you possibly get comfortable? With the right cushions, your entire home becomes that much more comfortable for you, your entire family and anyone who may be stopping over.

However, not all cushions are created the same, meaning your attempts at comfort could quickly come back to bite you in the worst ways. They could be uncomfortable or fall asleep easily and leave you in the same rut.

That’s why so many people prefer upholstery foam in Canada. You can’t beat it in terms of comfort, durability, breathability or price. Plus, whatever size or shape you need is easy to accommodate with this type of foam because it’s so malleable. So it doesn’t matter if you’re getting a custom piece of furniture done or if you have plans for reupholstering an old favorite piece.

Furthermore, you can get dry fast foam that is perfect for the outdoors. Even when the elements  try to beat up on it, this type of foam is able to fight right back.

Do you own a boat? If so, it’s probably the apple of your eye. After all, no one buys a boat and then doesn’t love spending every minute in it. This is especially true if you own a big enough boat that it has separate compartments and rooms on board. Maybe yours even possesses sleeping quarters. There’s nothing wrong with that!

But these types of boats also come with more maintenance and issues you need to stay on top of. One perfect example are your sleeping arrangements. Just because you’re out on the water doesn’t mean you have to rough it. In fact, part of the whole point is to enjoy some luxury to yourself.

So handling boat mattress replacement can sometimes be an ordeal. You want the most comfortable option possible, but depending on when you last replaced your mattress, that may be difficult to track down.

The good news is that now it’s simpler than ever. Just go with a foam mattress and you’re set. For even better results, pick a dry fast version so that you don’t have to worry about it getting a bit wet from time to time. After all, it is on a boat.

So whether you need boat cushions, replacements, an option for your RV, something to sleep on in your bedroom or just about anything else, this store will have what you’re looking for and then some.

Easy RV Updates for Summer

Going on a road trip this summer with your RV? An RV is a great way for the entire family to come together and enjoy the open road. Unlike a regular vehicle, an RV provides a comfortable place for the family to cook, eat, sleep, and even play games while on a long road trip. But even a spacious, comfortable RV gets worn out and used over the years. To ensure that your RV is comfortable during the entire vacation, here are a few tips on how to update your RV in time for summer.

Replace Seat Cushions

A comfortable seat is perhaps the most important feature in an RV. Everyone from the driver to young children need a soft cushion on which they can sit, relax, and enjoy the ride. If your RV cushions are old and worn out, it’s time to replace them before the next vacation.

To replace RV cushions, simply purchase new foam for every type of seat in the RV. RV seats include standard vehicle seats, benches, dining seats, and any back rests or pillows you might have. The good news is that you don’t have to throw away the covers. Replacing old RV seats is a relatively easy DIY project that requires the right cushion foam and a few tools. Plus, replacement foam is cheaper than having to replace the entire cushion.

Purchase New RV Mattresses

In addition to sitting, the rest of your time spent in an RV involves sleeping. If the beds in your RV are as old and worn out as the seat cushions, it’s time to replace them as well. Most RV beds can be replaced with quality mattress foam. High-quality mattress foam can be cut to fit nearly any size bed in an RV. Mattress foam is also cheaper than buying a whole new bed. It’s easy to purchase the right size and type of foam you need by visiting an online foam retailer. Replacing old mattresses with new mattress foam will ensure that everyone gets a good night’s sleep and is refreshed to face the long days ahead. If you don’t want to replace the entire mattress, you can also purchase a mattress topper.

Add Comfort and Support Products

An easy and affordable way to make the RV ride more comfortable is to purchase a variety of comfort and support products. Some ideas of comfort and support products include upper body pillows, middle body cushions, lower body cushions, round bolsters, and full body pillows. Adding these products throughout the RV will ensure that everyone is comfortable while on the road.

Camper bedding and why it beats any tent that you bring with you

It may seem more romantic and more rugged when it comes to spending the night in a tent and under the stars in the outdoors. But when you’re going on a trip with your family, and especially when you have kids as well, an RV or a camper will definitely be your best friend when going on road trips, visiting national parks, and other picturesque and wonderful places in the outdoors. Camper cushionsare definitely more comfortable than a sleeping bag, and even when you have an RV with you, it doesn’t mean as well that you can’t enjoy the outdoors. You can still have campfires, go hiking, and do pretty much whatever you want. Camper bedding is just as good as any mattress that you may have at home, and that makes a world of difference over sleeping just a few inches above dirt. You are definitely going to be sleeping more soundly and definitely more comfortably with camper cushions. The only difference here is that with an RV, you’ll find the comforts of home that you can still take advantage of despite being far out in the woods or by some river or lake. You’ll have running water, a functional kitchen, a proper restroom, and even television as well if your RV is big enough. Think about it, you’re in the outdoors, and heavy rain sets in, what are you supposed to do? Squeeze in the tent and wait it out? Why not wait it out in your awesome RV right?

Even when you’re roughing it out in the outdoors, the foam factory will make sure that you have at least some degree of comfort to get those batteries charged up. You can also shop for rv bedding, camper bedding, and different mattresses meant for outdoor use as well.

The luxury and privilege of owning a yacht is a feat that only very few can accomplish. And if you are one of the lucky few, make sure not to scrimp on any single detail when it comes to your yacht, most especially when it comes to the seats as well as the cushions. If you need custom foam cushions, then go get them. Don’t cut corners on things that would definitely see the most action in your yacht. Whether you’re expecting visitors or not, make sure that the cushions in the seats of your yacht are comfortable as well as durable enough to withstand the elements – that is if they are placed on deck. A voyage at sea or a cruise around the coast can be extremely comfortable to you and whoever is with you so long as the cushions on your ship are comfortable. You don’t want to have cushions on your seats that feel like Styrofoam, and you wouldn’t want cushions as well that tear or get worn out too easily because of salt water, wind, and the sun. What you want to have are cushions that are comfortable as well as water resistant. Your cushion covers as well must be water resistant, as well as durable enough for outdoor use in order to withstand the elements. It’s a very small price to pay compared to what you had to shell out to buy your yacht, it’s practically no use for you to try and be cheap over cushions.

What you get at Foam Factory, Inc.is more than just high quality products like yacht cushions. It’s a commitment to you and to every customer that you only deserve the best, and that it must always come with great service as well.

Why You Should Have a Portable Power Supply

January 22, 2014 by · Leave a Comment 

The world is a scary enough place without constant power keeping our homes, cars, phones and other gadgets running. Hopefully, most of us will never have to learn what would happen if we lost these power supplies for even a second. But the unfortunate truth is that many people already have.

We’ve seen a number of natural disasters in recent years. Everything from tornadoes to hurricanes to tsunamis and earthquakes have come out of nowhere and completely devastated people’s lives. Sadly, it’s only then that most of us would realize what we take for granted.

But if you have a portable power supply, you at least stand a chance of maintaining some normality. More than that, a power supply can make all the difference when it matters most.

If the term power supply makes you think of large, cumbersome units, you haven’t seen what modern technology can now offer. Those exist, of course. You can find a helicopter starting unit or even ones that are used for planes.

Fortunately, we don’t need those to keep the lights on or our cars running when disaster strikes. There are handheld units for the electricity we often need and larger models about the size of a wheelbarrow that can be wheeled around and used to bring our homes back to life if a crisis took power away.
