6lb Chipfoam 38mm (1.5″)

Sold As: sheet

Our 6lb Chipfoam in 38mm (1.5″) thickness is a reliable, hardworking foam that’s a staple in upholstery workshops and homes alike. Made from reconstituted foam particles bonded together, chipfoam offers a firmer, denser feel compared to standard foam, making it ideal for use as a base layer or support padding beneath top foam in seats, cushions, and backs.

This versatile sheet is commonly used in traditional and modern upholstery projects to add structure and support, helping your finished piece hold its shape over time. It’s also popular for use in theatrical props, packaging, and general soft furnishing applications where a cost-effective, firm padding material is needed. Sold as an individual sheet, it’s easy to cut to size using a sharp knife or electric carving knife at home or in the workshop.

The 6lb density rating means this chipfoam sits on the firmer end of the scale, giving excellent longevity and resistance to compression — perfect for high-use furniture such as sofas and dining chair seats. Whether you’re a trade upholsterer looking for a reliable base layer or a DIY enthusiast tackling a home restoration project, this chipfoam sheet from Glover Bros delivers great value and consistent quality.
