Blog provided by The Foam Factory Open-cell foam is a versatile material that can be a valuable addition to different components of your home. Here are three practical ways you can use open-cell foam to make your house a more comfortable, sensible place to live. Insulation Open-cell foam has proven to be an effective material for insulation, or preventing unwanted heat from flowing into your home. As the Department of Energy notes, the right insulation can help reduce your heating and cooling costs. Because of open-cell foam’s flexibility, it can fit into gaps and crevices other insulating materials might not be able to reach. Soundproofing Open-cell foam makes up the structure of acoustic foam panels, which help eliminate unwanted echoes and reverberations in music studios, concert halls, gyms, and houses. These foam panels absorb energy from sound waves, letting the sound waves pass through their open-cell structure, then dissipating them as heat. Cushion filling Open-cell foam is both durable and flexible, which makes it ideal for cushion filling in sofas and chairs. A good foam cushion will support your weight while making it comfortable to sit and lounge on your furniture. Because of open-cell foam’s malleable nature, you can find foam cushions in any size and shape you need. The Foam Factory has provided custom-cut cushions made according to customers’ needs and specifications for decades. Contact them today to discuss prices and ideas for cushions made to fit your furniture. Be sure to check out their selection of acoustic foam products as...

Blog provided by The Foam Factory Do you enjoy the process of measuring and cutting wood, then shaping it into your own custom furniture? There are many different furniture shapes and designs you can bring to life when you’re crafting furniture with your own two hands, but once you’re done, you’ll have to figure out where to get cushions for your DIY furniture. Unlike store-bought furniture, handmade furniture doesn’t come with cushions, so you can either buy factory-produced cushions or get a custom cushion made for your project. The problem with mass-produced cushions is that it can be difficult to find cushions that fit your furniture’s exact dimensions, especially if you used a unique shape as the basis for your furniture’s design. Getting a custom cushion from a company such as The Foam Factory allows you to specify the exact measurements and shape that you need to fit your DIY project. You can even choose from different foam types for different levels of firmness and comfort. If you need soft foam for regular use, order some open-cell super soft foam as couch-backing cushions. If your main concern is durability, you can order high quality HD36 foam that can last for almost two decades. If you’ve made DIY furniture for use outdoors, you can also order custom outdoor foam cushions for added protection against sun, moisture, and harmful microorganisms. No matter what you need for your project, you’ll find the right type of foam cushions at The Foam Factory. If you can’t find the shape you need on their site, you can also contact them to discuss custom shape...

Maybe it’s become uncomfortable and lumpy. Or maybe you’ve dealt with a bed bug infestation and you’re not comfortable sleeping in a bed dotted with bed bug feces. However, there is one health-related reason people tend to overlook when considering getting a mattress replacement. Since you lie down on your mattress every night, dead skin cells, sweat, and oils from your body and hair will inevitably rub against the mattress and leave foul residue behind. If these materials accumulate, you may even see yellow stains appear on your mattress. While these stains can be removed with baking soda and a vacuum cleaner, there will still be dead body cells Justify behind. If your body is constantly rubbing against these undesirable elements, it might lead to problems such as rashes, clogged pores, and acne breakouts, especially if you have skin that is sensitive or prone to skin conditions. The longer you keep your mattress, the harder it is to eliminate these elements from your mattress’s surface. No mattress lasts forever, and if your mattress’s age is affecting your skin, it may be time for a mattress foam replacement.

Sources say that the LA County Department of Children and Family Services has extended their investigation into Brad Pitt regarding an alleged incident with a child aboard a private plane. The FBI visited Angelina Jolie’s residence in Malibu to questioned potential witnesses for 3 hours, which included some of their children. The alleged incident is related to reports of “unintentional contact” between Brad and a child. A spokesperson for the FBI went on to say. “In response to your inquiry regarding allegations within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States; specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued”. The FBI intend to conclude the investigation shortly and if there are reports of child abuse, they will forward the report to the U.S. District Attorney to look at the further evidence and prosecute, if necessary. The outcome of this investigation will not impact Brad and Angelina’s divorce or their custody agreement over their six kids. Sources say that Brad has seen the children twice since Angeline filed for divorce mid-September. Angelina was given sole custody of their children, while Brad received visitation rights, till the case is heard. The 41-year-old actress, however, believes that the couple will co-parent their children in the future. An insider stated that Brad was eager “to see the kids and to work out an arrangement that is best for them” and “wants to work things out privately and amicably.”...
