Simple question, is there a special foam to use for cushins in a boat. And a good supplier for this and the vinyl to wrap it with.

Thanks Rick

(1) Closed Cell: won't absorb water and is great emergency flotation.

(2) Open cell => VERY OPEN CELL 'reticulated': won't hold water and dries almost instantly

(3) Use a mesh for part of the cushion cover to allow breathering/drainage. (phifertex is one brand). Often the bottom or one of the side panels is mesh.

A good company in Texas...I bought the closed cell last year. Expensive as blazes but worth the cost.
