• Glitter sheets
• Sheets with peel-off sticky backs

Yes, it is possible to use sheet foam as insulation. Foam sheeting made of plastic and polystyrene are created with small air bubbles in the material. The air bubbles don't allow heat to transfer through the material, so it traps heat. The fact that the material is moisture-resistant and extremely dense makes it perfect for insulation.

When cut into sheets, the product is also easy to install, especially when compared to other types of insulation like spray-on insulation. The most used foam insulation thicknesses range between 1 and 3 centimetres.

Upholstery sheet foam is denser than foam sheeting used in crafting. For a long-lasting seat, shoppers should choose foam that is highly resilient and has a density of 3 pounds per cubic foot. Most foam sheeting with the ability to meet these requirements is made of polyurethane and is called "latex foam."

Sheet foam made to create seating is usually sold in yards and comes in a variety of colours including green, yellow, and white. Sheet foam can also be cut into shapes such as circles, rectangles, squares, or something more unique to cover any furniture size or shape.

Yes, the ability to cut foam sheeting without the material losing its integrity or shape is one of the reasons it is often used by crafters for simple or complex projects. The material can be cut to fit an area without compromising the material. A variety of shapes can be cut from one sheet of the material. When the material is cut, the remnants can be used as stuffing or used with another project.
