Best Foam Shapes for Awkward Spaces: Trapezium, Wedge, Circular & Custom Cuts Explained
When it comes to fitting foam into unusual or irregular spaces, custom foam shapes are your best friend. At Foam Supplies WA, we help customers across Perth and regional WA get perfectly cut foam in every shape imaginable — from wedges and circles to trapeziums and curved cushions. Whether it’s for a caravan bunk, boat seating, bay window, or custom bench nook, the right foam shape can make all the difference in comfort and appearance.
Common Foam Shapes and Their Uses
Wedge Foam
Wedge-shaped foam is one of the most versatile options available. It’s commonly used to create ergonomic backrests, slope-correcting seat bases, or support cushions. In Perth homes, wedge foam is ideal for improving posture or compensating for uneven flooring and seat frames — especially in caravans and campervans.
Circular & Round Foam
Circular foam cushions are perfect for bar stools, ottomans, pet beds, and even boat seating. By cutting to exact diameter and thickness, you can achieve a uniform, professional look while ensuring long-lasting comfort. Add a durable cover and you’ve got a stylish cushion that fits anywhere.
Trapezium Foam
For tricky angles or tapered seating — like bay windows or corner benches — trapezium foam is unbeatable. It allows a snug fit along walls and corners without bulging or gaps. This shape is especially popular for custom furniture makers and upholsterers in Western Australia looking to create clean, tailored finishes.
When to Choose Custom-Cut Foam
Ordering custom foam shapes ensures every piece fits perfectly. At Foam Supplies WA, you can specify exact measurements online or contact our team for assistance with templates or angled cuts. This prevents wasted material and guarantees your project — whether it’s domestic, commercial, or marine — gets the precision it deserves.
Common projects include:
-
Caravan seat cushions
-
Bay window benches
-
Boat lounges
-
Office and café seating
-
Acoustic panels and gym padding
Tips for Measuring Awkward Foam Spaces
-
Use a firm cardboard template — especially for curved or tapered sections.
-
Double-check angles before ordering trapezium or wedge cuts.
-
Allow a small tolerance (2–3 mm) for foam compression when fitting into tight spaces.
-
Choose the right density — high-density for seating, medium for backrests, and soft for decorative cushions.
