These light charcoal polyurethane foam sheets are a versatile, budget-friendly material for packing protection, craft and cosplay builds, drawer and toolbox inserts, vibration dampening, and general DIY use. The foam has a medium feel (density: 1.2 lbs/ft³, ILD: 36), which makes it easy to cut and shape while still offering cushioning for impact and rattle control.
Common uses include:
Foam Type: Polyurethane foam sheet, light charcoal color
Feel: Medium cushioning feel (density: 1.2 lbs/ft³, ILD: 36)
Sheet Sizes:
Thickness Options: Available in 1/8-inch increments. Choose the thickness you need at checkout to match your project, fill a gap, or build up layers.
Workability: Cuts with a utility knife, heavy scissors, or a serrated blade. For cleaner edges on thicker pieces, a long serrated knife or electric carving knife is recommended.
Intended Use: Light to moderate impact absorption, rattle control, spacing, padding, patterning, and shaping. Not intended for structural loads or full-body weight support.
Shipping Note: Sheets typically ship flat. Larger or thicker cuts may be lightly compressed or folded for packing efficiency.
This material is not designed for ongoing body support like a sofa cushion or mattress surface. It’s a lightweight, general purpose polyurethane foam for packing, crafts, and protective padding. For everyday sitting or sleeping comfort, a higher density upholstery or mattress-grade foam is more appropriate.
It can help reduce rattle, vibration, or surface contact noise in small setups, like under desktop gear or inside a case. It is not a rated acoustic barrier and will not fully block sound through walls. Think of it as dampening and cushioning, not full sound isolation.
Yes. A common use is tracing the outline of tools, lenses, gear, parts, or hobby components, then cutting that shape so each item drops into its own pocket. This keeps things from sliding around during travel or shipping.
Yes, with normal supervision. The foam is easy to cut, glue, tape, or pin. It’s frequently used for displays, mockups, costume padding, and lightweight props where cardboard is either too stiff or too rough on edges.
The foam is produced in a light charcoal gray. Slight shade variation from batch to batch is normal and does not change performance.
Shipping: Most foam sheets and cut-to-size pieces ship within standard production lead time. Larger sizes or thicker cuts may be folded or lightly compressed to keep shipping costs reasonable. If timing is critical for an order, contact us here.
Returns: Custom-cut foam is generally not re-sellable once cut. For that reason, all sales are final. If you believe your situation is unique, or if you need greater assurances before purchasing please consult with our customer service team- (415) 503-9314
