Foam

[furtech]

There are a number of different foams cited as being used in costume construction, but it's hard to describe them. This should help: a photo of four different types of foam (different thicknesses of two of them).

Top to bottom

L-200 aka "evac foam" / closed-cell (no holes) 3/4" thickness, white

Mattress foam, low resiliency / open-cell (holes) 1" thickness, beige

"Scott Foam" aka reticulated foam / open-cell (big holes) 1" thickness, black

Mattress foam, high resiliency / open cell (holes) 1" thickness, beige

L-200 2" (white)

Scott foam 2" (black)




Hope this helps!
