250 Litres Reticulated Shredded Foam Crumb

Description

🧩 Reticulated Foam Crumb Filling – Lightweight, Quick-Draining & High-Volume

🌟 A premium foam crumb – not bog-standard shredded foam

Reticulated foam crumb is a specialist, high-performance cushion filling, engineered for applications where drainage, airflow and lightweight volume matter. Unlike standard mixed shredded upholstery foam, this material is produced from fully reticulated foam with an extremely open-cell structure.

This is not recycled off-cut waste. Every piece of foam crumb shares the same open skeletal structure, delivering consistent performance, superior airflow, and dramatically lower weight than conventional shredded foam fillings.

⚖️ More fill per kilogram – why 1 kg goes much further

One of the key advantages of reticulated foam crumb is its exceptionally low density.

Thanks to its ultra-open cell structure, reticulated foam crumb weighs less than half the weight of standard upholstery foam by volume. In practical terms, this means:

• ✅ 1 kg of reticulated foam fills up to ≈ 2.5× more volume than 1 kg of standard shredded foam

• ✅ Fewer kilograms are required to fill cushions

• ✅ Cushions remain light, even in outdoor or damp conditions

Customers are often surprised by how far a small weight goes — making this a high-yield filling material, not a heavy one.

💧 Quick-draining foam designed for wet & outdoor use

Unlike standard open-cell upholstery foam, which absorbs and holds moisture, reticulated foam crumb is designed to shed water.

• Rainwater and spills pass straight through the foam

• Cushions dry faster when paired with breathable or vented covers

• No heavy, waterlogged filling after bad weather

This makes reticulated foam crumb ideal for outdoor cushions, marine seating, campervans and moisture-prone environments.

🌬️ Outstanding airflow & breathability

The extremely open structure allows continuous airflow throughout the cushion, helping to:

• Reduce heat build-up

• Improve comfort in warm conditions

• Prevent trapped moisture

This airflow is a major reason reticulated foam performs so much better outdoors than standard shredded foam fillings.

🦠 Helps resist mould, mildew & odours

Because water does not remain trapped inside the filling:

• The risk of mould and mildew is significantly reduced

• Musty smells are far less likely to develop

• Cushions stay fresher for longer

Particularly important for garden furniture, boats, campervans and pet beds.

🚿 Washable & reusable foam filling

Reticulated foam crumb can be rinsed with clean water to remove dirt, salt or surface contamination.

• Rinse only

• Allow to drain fully

• Air-dry before reuse

This makes it a practical, long-lasting filling for applications where cleaning is unavoidable.

🪑 Typical uses for reticulated crumb

• Outdoor garden furniture cushions

• Marine & boat seating

• Campervan, caravan & motorhome cushions

• Scatter cushions used in damp or high-humidity areas

• Dog beds and utility bedding

⚠️ Important suitability note

Reticulated foam crumb is not intended as a replacement for traditional upholstery foam in indoor sofas or luxury seating. Its strengths lie in lightweight volume, drainage and airflow, rather than dense, plush indoor comfort.
