Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I recently acquired some chairs for my dining table and boy did they need some help. They were sad, uncomfortable chairs! I did a lot of research on different foams and what type is the best type for dining room chairs that will receive moderate to heavy use, and settled on this one. I knew I wanted a high density foam because it lasts longer, and I wanted firm so that over time when it softens up, it wouldn't become too soft. The price compared to similar foam was much better, and cheaper than even lesser quality foam from local craft stores. The foam arrived in a roll, wrapped in Saran Wrap type wrapping, and I unrolled it immediately so it would have time to "breathe" and become more flat so I could more easily work with it, which took about 2 days but I'm sure you could work with t sooner. I used a serrated bread knife and it cut the shapes out easily. I was a little worried because one of the previous reviews said this was soft, but mine is quite firm. We eat dinner at the table nightly, and the chairs are much more comfortable now. It does sink a little when you sit in it, but it's kind of in the way a memory foam mattress does. Nothing extreme. I am a big fan so far and hopefully it holds up as well as claimed. I will update this post a year from now with how they are holding up. I enclosed a picture of the before and after so you can have an idea of how thick or thin you are wanting your foam. 2 inches is perfect for our needs. *Update* feb 2017 The foam is still holding up really well and we eat dinner at the table 5-7 nights a week and do crafts with my tots during the day. It's still firm, not sagging or lumpy and the chairs look the same as the day I refinished them. Very happy with my purchase still and definitely keeping the rating 5 stars!
