Where's the best place to buy upholstery foam?

[CuppaTeaJanice]

I need some upholstery foam to cover a seating booth in my new kitchen/diner. It's my first attempt at upholstery so I'm hoping it's not too difficult!!!

Does anybody know the best (or cheapest) place to buy upholstery foam? I've looked on ebay but is there anywhere better?

Also what else will I need? Just tacks and staples, or any other bits? I'll be using faux leather.

Anybody?

Dunelm tend to be good for this sort of thing. There might be a store near you. I dont know what else you would need, should think tacks would be about it.

Check your Yellow pages under "Upholsterers' Supplies" or "Foam Products" and phone up to see if they can supply you with foam cut to order and with tacks etc. When I have covered foam I have always lined it because I make removable covers - if you don't intend to remove the cover, that isn't necessary.

Thanks! There's a Dunelm in the next town, and I'll check the yellow pages too.
