A Quiet Powerhouse of Comfort: Foam Factory

Since its founding in 1999, Foam Factory has built a reputation as one of South Africa’s most versatile and reliable foam‑manufacturers — with a reach that spans everything from bespoke upholstery to bespoke mattresses. 

At the heart of Foam Factory’s appeal lies its mastery over foam itself: open‑cell flexible polyurethane foam, rendered in a range of densities and hardness levels — from standard virgin foam to memory foam, high‑resilience foam, moulded foam, and rebounded foam. This nuanced spectrum of foam types allows designers, upholsterers, and homeowners alike to specify exactly the feel, support and longevity they want. 

Customisation as a Design Ethos

What distinguishes Foam Factory in the interiors world is its commitment to customisation. Whether a client needs foam in a precise cut, sheet, block, or even a molded shape tailored for special applications — the company accommodates.  From lounge‑suite manufacturing to office chairs, from caravan mattresses to caravan seat‑pads — the possibilities are only as limited as the design imagination.

Moreover, Foam Factory supplies more than just “off the shelf” pieces: its “cut foam” service enables creators to specify exact dimensions and foam density, avoiding waste and ensuring that every piece — cushion, mattress, bolster or upholstery — fits precisely as needed. 

From Utility to Luxury: Mattresses, Mattresses & More

While many see Foam Factory as a go‑to source for raw foam and upholstery fills, the brand has also made a mark in the bedding world. Its mattress offerings range from budget-friendly basics to more indulgent options — with density‑graded cores that suit different uses, from short-term guest beds to regular home use.

Within its range, the “value‑for‑money” option stands out, but so too does a premium line (marketed via its sub‑brand partnership) that promises better support, comfort, and longevity — appealing to those who value both design and daily comfort. 

A Local Legacy with a Designer’s Appeal

With branches in Cape Town (Beaconvale), Centurion and East London, Foam Factory remains firmly rooted in South Africa — offering homegrown quality and service. For the design-savvy homeowner or the professional upholsterer, that means: easy access to custom foam solutions; ability to source raw materials locally; and the flexibility to experiment with form, support and texture without breaking the bank.

In a world where bespoke furniture and tailored interiors are increasingly prized — where every cushion and mattress tells a story — Foam Factory offers a silent kind of craftsmanship: one built on materials, precision and possibility.
