foam padding

[xj-grin]

anyone know where I can get a piece of like 4'x6', maybe 3-4" thick foam padding on the cheap, and locally? I need a sleeping pad for the boys in the trailer this weekend... :cheers:

I got mine from walmart I believe. or the craft store like hobbylobby

I bought something like that at michaels for the back of my xj for sleeping. Luckily my wife had a 50%off coupon cause that crap was a freaking ripoff!! You may have better luck searching a free couch on craigslist and chopping it up and using that foam if it's not too gross.

Least expensive option is going to be an egg-crate style mattress pad from Target/K-mart/Wally-World.

doubled up egg crate stuff would probably work...

Mill outlet fabric shop off Filmore by the post office or Timberline Auto Upholstery by the dog track.

Oddly enough, the Home Depot near us had some pads like that this summer. Worth a look maybe.

Hey Chris,

I got one for my Nest at the local army surplus. They have new pieces of foam for camper mattresses. I am coming back down to the Springs Friday. If you don't find some I can pick it up and bring it down to you.

This weekend won't work for Leadville for us but we would love to hang out on the trail with you and your family some day soon.

Give me a call,

Thanks, Scott, but we're leaving mid-day tomorrow, so we'll have to source something today!

I believe target has memory foam ones for cheap

I'm heading to JD's surplus friends at lunch -- my wife struck out at Wally world this morning, they only had 1" thick stuff, and the prices weren't very good...

 

[xj-grin]

ouch! $192 for a 4" x 72 x 60 piece of foam at the outlet store... checking fabric outlet on filmore...

 

[Joe94xj]

Wow. Was that at the surplus store? I have always had better luck at the timberline place vs mill outlet. For that price you could buy a bed.

 

[xj-grin]

That's kinda what I thought... $90 for 3" x 72 x 55 at the Mill Outlet... much better, but still shopping.

 

[flingshot]

I had major sticker shock too. I think we're in the wrong business. Well, at least I am.

You get paid by the word. :rtm::worship:

 

[xj-grin]

I wish, I'm wordy...

But seriously, what could possibly be the production costs on open cell foam -- it has to be f'n pennies yet they get a couple bills a sheet... note to self: contact chinese factory and set up foam distribution/manufactuing business...

Told ya. It's crazy what they think that crap is worth. But it does make for nice comfy cozy nights sleep in the back of my xj. I was pretty excited when I realized there was 6 feet of room in the back with the seats all the way up.
