Custom Cut Latex Foam in Canada

Hi,

I’m looking for a supplier in Canada (preferably in the GTA) who can custom cut latex foam (must be GOLS standard)

I found a foam factory near me that offers the service I want at a good price, but they don’t sell any latex foam

I found MFC, who I know is a trusted member, and whose owner posts here frequently, but while they also offer this service, they seem to only offer it for two types of foam, neither of which is latex

They do offer slabs of latex foam for a DIY mattress, but that locks you into conventional dimensions, which could work, as I could cut the foam myself, but it may cost more as I may have to buy more foam due to being limited to conventional sizing

So I prefer to find a supplier that will cut the foam I’m looking for to the dimensions I want

The use case for this is to create a sectional mattress for car camping

I will be putting a folding platform in my car under which I will store my gear

The bottom half will fold up to allow access to the spare tire compartment and the top half will fold up to allow access to where the back seats are

I don’t want a traditional mattress because it’s easier to flip a section over to access gear rather than hold a mattress up with one hand while I rummage through my stuff with the other

I have not yet finalized my design, but right now I’m thinking of two sections, each 30” L x 40” D and 4 or 6” thick

I want to only use materials that have the highest organic/non-toxic certifications, which to my knowledge are the GOLS & GOTS standards

I’m not yet educated enough about foam density and ILD numbers, but I am an average weight (between 150-160 lbs) side sleeper who likes to read in bed (I lay on my back when reading) so I’m looking at medium to medium-firm

If such a supplier exists, it would be a bonus if they also offer a wool or other non-toxic fibre fill so that my cover doesn’t look saggy

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know

Thanks!

Foamite has natural latex you can order cut in custom sizes, but I don’t think they have organic.

Thank you, but I’m set on GOLS

Perhaps you could see if Obasan would do that for you - they have all GOLS latex and GOTS certified cotton and wool. They make excellent mattresses, but I believe they also do custom work as well. They are in Ottawa.

Thanks for the info

Looking at their site, they do custom mattresses, but again it seems you’re locked into standard sizes and types

But it doesn’t hurt to ask if they’ll just send me a couple blocks of foam
