Scrim Backed Upholstery Foam – Sold by the Roll or Metre

Our Scrim Backed Upholstery Foam– often called scrim foam, foam scrim, scrim back foam or sew foam – is a reinforced upholstery material designed for strength, durability, and flexibility. Backed with a lightweight scrim fabric, this foam is easier to handle, resists sagging, and gives a smooth, professional finish to your upholstery projects.

Unlike standard foam sheets, scrim back upholstery foam is supplied in continuous rolls or by the metre, making it ideal for larger projects where you need seamless coverage. Upholsterers and trimmers love it for its clean handling, while DIY users find it simple to cut and fit with scissors or a sharp knife.

🙋‍♂️ FAQs

What is scrim foam used for?
It’s mainly used as a backed padding layer in upholstery to add durability and make sewing, stapling, or gluing easier.

What thicknesses are available?
Scrim foam is usually supplied in thinner options (e.g. 3mm–18mm) for wrapping and padding, but rolls and metre cuts ensure you get the right amount.

Is it easy to cut?
Yes – scissors or a sharp blade will cut scrim back foam easily. For longer lengths, an electric knife makes the process faster.

Why choose rolls over sheets?
Rolls or metre lengths provide a smooth, continuous surface with less waste, making them neater and easier to store.
