Looking for table foam? (1 Viewer)

[AcesUp907]

Redoing a table, looking for a good foam to replace the old one. Ive done this a couple times now and used carpet pad once and I believe a 1/4 or maybe 3/8 foam but I am not really happy with either. carpet pad was not a smooth surface and the 1/4 foam (might have been 3/8) was still too hard.

1/8 foam, seems way too thin

Perhaps underpayment instead of carpet pad. But it will depend on the felt on whether that would work.

neoprene seems to be popular also.

We used 6mm closed cell foam and it feels perfect for us. Once your playing surface is on that will give you a bit of extra softness as well.

Get closed cell regardless so if there any liquid spills, it won't soak through to the frame.

I had an older table though that I redone years ago, got volara closed cell foam from casino supply. Info here:

Recommend checking the forum for ‘volara’ for other views, others have used and prefer neoprene as well.

I would definitely use a closed cell foam; I have used Volara on 2 of the 3 builds I have done and very happy with it. I used neoprene on one and it was perfectly good, but I preferred the feel of the Volara. I used 1/4" but I would assume you could use 1/8" without any problems; it just might be more stiff.

Volara closed cell foam is what you want. 1/4" is the standard - no real reason to deviate IMO. As others have mentioned, Your Auto Trim is a great source - as is eBay.

About the only thing Volara leaves to be desired is if you set something heavy on it for too long, it will leave an imprint that may take a while to go away if it does at all.
