I need to replace some of the foam cushions on the interior dinette couch. Can I use any high density foam or is there special "marine foam" I should use. Thank you!

Two sources.
Sailrite does have a cushion foam that is "marine-like". You can read about it on their website. Select 'Online Shopping' and then 'Foam' on the left hand side. My sewing bible, 'The Big Book of Boat Canvas' likes a closed-cell foam called Airex. If you make stuff for your boat it is a good book for your library. Author is Karen Lipe. Be prepared to shop, foam is expensive.

This worked real well for me and was cost effective. For longer or wider pieces use their spray adhesive which makes a very strong joint. Use electric knife to cut. LInk below

Hey Guys, I have to second the recommendation for foamorder.com. I needed a last minute piece of foam custom cut & shipped last minute to accomodate an 11th hour crew member who decided he wanted to stay on the boat during a race weekend. They were prompt & courteous and they did a great job. I highly recommend them. They also have many different grades of foam for various uses so you should be able to get the right grade at a competitive price. Good luck, Allen Schweitzer s/v Falstaff C-30 Hull #632

Upholsterer
I bought a berth mattress of high density foam from an upholsterer. I took the old one in to use as a template.
