Foam for Hybrid Bed

I am looking at replacing the fold up foam beds mattresses for our Hybrid. I noticed that the mattresses have zippers so I could remove the foam from the covers and get raw foam cut to size.
I am curious about the different types/densities of foam. We do have really good memory foam toppers for both beds, so we are thinking we need a really firm base. The current mattresses are way too soft and the memory foam helps but we think we need something with support.
I am assuming that I can save some money by buying the raw foam as opposed to going to Camping World and getting replacement beds. The problem is that an online store would likely cost a lot to ship to Canada as it would be a very large package. So I would like to be able to go into a furniture recovering place and be prepared to have an intelligent conversation with them about the types of foam.
Any input would be appreciated...
  • Find a local upholstery shop and see what they recommend. They can probably get you what you need and custom cut it for you. It'll be a bit more than a Joann Fabrics type place, but you'll get the size you need.
  • Check out foam at Joann Fabrics or most Fabrics stores will have different kinds of foam.Its locate at the very back of the store. They might work for what you are using for.
