We first stumbled across Howard Street's foam superstore online, and slowly have discovered what a great resource it is. More than just a soft, hypo-allergenic substance upon which to rest your weary head, foam is good for insulation, sound-proofing, mattress topping, and costume-making.

Griffin, my tied-for-first-favorite is lightingdirect.com.
Great service, both online and when I've called. Fast delivery. The selection is good (not amazing, but very good). Prices are excellent (I shopped around other sites for specific items and didn't find prices lower anywhere) and shipping is free for anything over $50.
(Plus, I've never received anything from lightingdirect that was not represented accurately. Not the case with five rivers lighting - they had a fixture incorrectly identifed by wattage and bulb type, and I had ordered based on that information.) hillde on Sep 16, 2008

I have a chest bed and use the tri-fold foam instead of the bulky futon mattress it came with. I love it, it is comfortable and easy to manage when I open my bed every night. Plus I take off the custom cover every month and wash it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! nordynono on Sep 16, 2008
