Anyone know where to get...(foam rubber)

Does anyone know where I can find some foam near Fremont-Milpitas area? Not styrofoam or wall insulator but foam that you would use in something like bucket seats or a sofa. Already tried home depot, lowes, michaels but to no avail.

It would be cool if I could buy it on the spot w/ the amount being....pillow sized? I plan to help bolster mah seats a bit with this to help remove some of the in corners.

Any help appreciated!

JO-Anns fabrics or Beverleys arts and crafts.

Jo-anns has all kinds of foam though, different densities.

i reupholstered an old car of mine and found this place useful for a ton of stuff

I already have that, but I need more lateral back support.

@Kyle: yea I plan to check it out if I don't find exactly what I need. Either that or I might have to visit mancinis sleep world with a box knife tomorrow night.

bob's foam factory in fremont should have what you want, assuming they are open since they had a fire in their warehouse maybe a year ago...

Okay so Jo Ann's had what I was looking for but I cannot justify paying her prices, might as well buy some new bucket seats hehe...

I'll give bob a call and see if they have anything undamaged and maybe the foam shop as a last resort.
