mark21m20c Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 How much foam do you need for a m20c.(all seats ). Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffy Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 For CAR3 the regs posted above are correct and if you use auto or even restaurant fabrics the manufacture will list what national reg the fabric conforms to and that is what is needed to be referenced in the log book. CAR3 only requires the fabric outer covering to conform, not the padding. All household carpets sold in the USA now have to conform to a national fire standard. Again, the manufacturer will have the reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetti Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 In redoing my truck seat the upolstry guy suggested Jute padding 40 oz. to help fill things out on top of the foam. ebay to be the source. https://www.ebay.com/p/Automotive-Jute-Carpet-Padding-40-Oz-36-Width-by-The-Yard/1387889132?iid=273017955050&chn=ps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browncbr1 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’ve done multiple car3 interiors using this foam. https://www.foambymail.com/SLR/super-lux-foam.html it comes with burn testing. Firmness is like automotive and density is good for long life. 2” is enough, but you can cut layers to give 3d shape as below also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is mostly what we use. Most of the interiors we do are in cabin class aircraft that require burn certs. The Skandia foam is impregnated with flamabilty resistant materials.

jetdriven Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 2” of Skandia DAX medium works really well. 3-series BMW firmness. But support and it doesn’t beat down like the Hobby Lobby foam some shops are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetti Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 If the fire burn through the leather to the seat foam, I want to be far away from the plane by that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBDiagMan Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have been a Mercedes Benz enthusiast since I was stationed in Germany circa 1969 to 1971. I read years ago that their research indicated that firm seats were less fatiguing on long trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Taylor Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Reviving an older thread, because I didn't find anything more current or definitive. While I await an annual, I'm going to replace the seat bottom cushion foam. The seat covers are leather, and in good shape. And I've redone the back foam with some additional lumbar support...that was easy. But the seat bottom foam is more complex. I do have an electric carving knife for this, so I'm not afraid to cut foam to shape...but, I did not have good luck with my first attempt at making a bottom foam cushion. I pieced together foam, like the prior seat was done...I used 3M Super 77 and it worked fine until the ADS-B upgrade...where I'm guessing there were lots of knees on the pilot seat and the side block tore free. So, since I'm down for a while, I thought it would make sense to replace the bottom seat cushions. And I'd like to just get a replacement cushion that's pre-made/fits. I've seen mention of cushions from Aircraft Spruce, but it seems they only carry the foam blocks. If you used that, which one did you get? I've also seem mention of SCS Interiors, but I'm not clear from their site if they make the cushions to shape or just sell foam. They have lots of pre-cut carpet kits shown, but no premade seat foam. So, does anyone have any more recent sources or favorites or suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy95W Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I recommend calling up these folks: https://www.seatfoam.com/index.html They're a husband and wife who've been selling Confor-foam for a very long time, and have been exhibitors at Oshkosh for decades. Two of the nicest people you've ever met! They will be able to give very good recommendations when you describe your project. They know their stuff. They have three different foam densities that go from firm to soft. Don't go too much by their website, they're older folks who still prefer old-school methods like talking on the phone or in person. Good luck- post pictures! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Taylor Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Okay, I called Hi Tech Foams (Seatfoam.com) and spoke with Janice...and ordered two large seat cushion foam laminate pieces. She was delightful and I appreciate the referral to them. Even without her/their expertise, I'd do business with them again just for the pleasure of the experience. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amillet Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I ordered one each of all three 1x16x18 for each bottom cushion from Wicks. The local upholstery shop replaced foam in both seats in one hour. Noticeably harder on first contact but warmed up quickly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
