Hello,
I knew a place before , on carretera Duarte (Luperon touristic road to POP) they should be there yet but they sold cheap foam.

Do you know a place where we can get good quality foam in Santiago?

Cordially

you really need to combine these statements.

you may never find the quality you seek
but you'll get the best there is at a tapiceria.

There is a old school tapicera-Dolo or Dulo or something, I think-across the street from the old airport on Bartolo Colon. I've bought different grades and thicknesses there several times before.

i hope that i did not serve advice of a moron? tapicerias buy foam so they will know where to get it. in POP shops selling fabric also have foam so it may be the same in santiago. i'm just giving suggestions of who to ask locally, sorry if that's off the mark.

They don't inventory anything there or have a showroom AFAIK, it's a catalog outlet & distribution only...

Had furniture made here by a reputable furniture maker. After spending the money, I couldn't bear to sit on the sofa. The foam inside the cushions and pillows was intolerable. I ended up importing down from the US and redoing them. Much, much better.

Thank you William, it is not for a bed but for beach mattress.
Shipping from NYC should be expensive as there is a lot of volume.

Then you will find that grade of foam easily....

I have it on chaise longues beside the pool, dog beds, etc

comes in varying thicknesses & quality at any fabric place
