Can Foam Cushions be Glued Together?

I have a dinette which I stack pillows against the wall to form a triangle to lay against when watching tv. The pillows constantly slide out and I was thinking about making a triangle wedge to place in the dinette to create a lounger, wanted to know if foam cushions can be glued together so I can cut the large wedge I need?

Thanks for any feedback!

    X2!

    By the time you buy foam, glue and covering plus your labor you would be further ahead to simply buy a premade foam triangle pillow or "wedge"

    Can be had for $40 and up and delivered to your door!

    Here is a search at Amazon..

    Foam Spray Adhesive......

    GO to craft store (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Walmart etc.)

    Get the type of adhesive for the type of foam you are gluing together

    Open-cell, closed-cell etc.

    Spray both pieces and then press then together.. Foam adhesive gets tacky quickly.
