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!
