Anyway, I couldn't find anything on the internet. Just what you found, nothing more. Very rare that I do this, but I went to the yellow pages and found a local shop to check out. I called them and will end up down there in the next few weeks.
Don't forget your local marine supply and upholstery shops. These should be more prevalent in your neck of the woods...

Future? Really like the Hiatus, but I'm broke AF, so dreaming about a DIY.

I'll have to check out these other links too.
Edit:
A friend recommended this company - FoamOrder.com

Yikes, $500 if I went with new foam on the entire upper mattress from these guys (not planning to but its my pricing point comparison).
I don't know what folks consider "expensive" to be in regards to foam... but I had this company make the foam cushions for the bed mod in my Hawk and they did a nice job/sent me exactly what I ordered. As you'll see...they have many choices of foam to choose from for RV's and boats/etc.

Getting closer in pricing but no mention of shipping so one would have to assume its not free. If local I'd likely check these folks out.

I ended up going to costco for a 3" memory mattress and I will cut it to fit. It was marked down $20 iirc and seems to be the best quality of other big retailers.

I just checked on this a few days ago. The Wal-Mart near me has 4" queen size memory foam mattress toppers for $130. That's $6.50 per square foot. Does anyone know how well this stuff would work for making seat cushions?
JP
Yeah I had been wondering about those toppers as well. Didn't know how well they'd work solo (ie without being on a mattress), how easy to cut, and weight difference verse standard foam.
For seat cushions 4" would be pretty thick, I think 3" is more common, but if you're cool with the thickness then is just a matter of those questions I just asked...
Edit: Looking on wally worlds page: http://www.walmart.c...duct_id=4569413 looks like they do 1.5" memory foam and 2.5" high density foam. Density looks to be around 3lb/ft^3 which isn't that much higher than the 2.8lb/ft^3 premium stuff, I think 2lb/ft^3 tends to be the mid line stuff and if I had to guess is probably what is in our rigs??? So you'd be looking about about 10lb more in the camper with something like this. No idea if it cuts well.
