That's funny (strange). We priced everything via Foam Factory and to redo all of the interior cushions would cost us around $600. We ordered one sheet (for the setee cushions) for $200. I paid $200 total for JoAnn's Fabric foam. So it cost me $400 for $200 savings. If I bought ONLY from JoAnn's, the whole job would cost $300 or 50% of the cost from Foam Factory.
So, what am I missing?
Well for one I screwed up
. I went back and read your orginal post and if I understand it now correctly you got 2 sheets of 3 X 27 X 90 for $100. When I posted I thought you got one.
Here are the prices on Foambymail, same company using their pricing where you put in the dimension for one sheet 3 X 27 X 90...

.....I'm not sure which of their foams below is comparable to JoAnn's. Maybe you know which one below is like what JoAnn's sells. On the Foam Factory site they say that the Poly Foam is for crafts, so I'm wondering if that is what is sold at JoAnns. If it is the poly then JoAnn's isn't the cheapest, but if it is one of the other ones then you did save some money.
I posted mainly because there are others like Ruth and I that aren't near any place that has quality foam and thought it would maybe help them. We used the Lux - High Quality below in 4 inch for the V-berth and in the 3 inch for the seat cushions. We wouldn't want anything softer and it has a long life span.
One advantage I do see for the internet site is that you can specify the exact sizes you want and not have to buy a larger sheet where you might have waste in cutting the cushions from it. I don't see a cost penalty for doing this either. The other plus for us is no tax, saving probably $6-$8 per hundred and no car/gas usage.
Sorry for the confusion on my part,
Sum
