 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed a new foam insert for a large chair cushion. This is a no-frills factory with top-notch workmanship and helpfulness.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They lost their retail store during COVID but still run the business without the storefront from a warehouse nearby. I had 4 chairs custom covered a year ago. Exceptional workmanship. They run a top notch business. It’s not all pretty and fancy in the warehouse but the business, craftsmanship, professionalism is 5 star. Have gone there for years. Lovely guy that runs it. They are the best in the business of custom covering foam witj fabric. They made custom bolsters for me . Perfect!

 Verified My need  was simple.I wanted a new foam insert for the zippered cushion of my easy chair. I brought the cushion to this no-frills store. The staff member had me try two foam firmness levels, and I chose the firmer one. I left the cushion and it was ready two days later. I am very satisfied.

 Verified Quality Craftsmanship. Quick turnaround, good pricing. Nur did an excellent job of forming and restuffing my two couch cushions breathing extra life into the couch. He also showed real business  integrity and service acumen and follow through. Thanks!

 Verified All the reviewers here are so rude! I have had work done by Economy Foam twice, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you arrive at a busy time you do have to have a little patience, but don't be so arrogant! They do excellent work and their prices are reasonable. Yay Economy Foam. I'll be back!

 Verified Updated: overall I'm still happy with the cushions. They e sagged a wee bit but I don't think that's unusual. I think it's a good fix that will last for a couple of years and then I'll have to bite the bullet and get a new couch. So still worth it, but not a miracle solution by any means I just picked up my couch foam inserts for my cushions. They are fabulous! It's like a new couch. I'll update later to let you know if they are still fabulous...but seriously they made it so easy and they feel great. Brought in my covers and they put them right in for me. Highly recommend.
