Questions operators ask before booking seat foam replacement CT wide.

Can the existing cover go back on?

How do you match the original shape?

The old foam is traced as a pattern and new layers are built up to its crown and side shaping.

Which vehicle seats sink soonest?

Operator seats, transit benches, coach seats, shuttle seats and school bus benches.

When is refoaming a waste of money?

When the cover is brittle enough to split as it is stretched, or the seat base underneath is broken.
