This is a small, unassuming, old fashioned looking shop that were happy to offer a quote to me. My request was small and unusual, I wanted a quote for replacing the foam in my acupressure mat and pillow. The pillow is half-cylinder shaped so not very standard. It took them a few days to get back to me but they did it. I explained that I wanted slightly more robust and better quality replacement foam. I hope to take up the quote soon.
It is definitely worth chatting to them if you have a project in mind.

Needed a headboard covering, supplied headboard and fabric Spoke to owner who assured me that wasn’t a problem and would ring with quote in a few days Left with him. After 3 weeks I decided to phone and ask about the progress only to be told that he hadn’t done the quote Said he would contact me next day with said quote No call Popped in 3 days later only to be told that they were busy and it would take another 4 weeks Diabolical service from a small business would recommend not to use them

I got to know the Foam Shop through my business and I must say they are the most helpful and friendly shop owners I have ever met. You are always made to feel welcome - in a lot of places you don't get this good old fashioned service anymore and its nice to be treated as a customer for once. I use the foams they cut for me for all sorts of things from packing valuables to seat padding on my motorcycle. They also repaired my beloved futon which had seen better days.
