A Simple Way to Find Foam Samples?

A Simple Way to Find Foam Samples?

A Simple Way to Find Foam Samples?

(OP)
I'm attempting to design an exercise mat made of a dense foam bottom layer, bonded to a softer foam upper layer with a Lycra-like cloth on top. The materials must be touched to determine suitability.

1. Does there exist a house that has an easy way to order many product samples of various foam sheets in various colors? I'm driving myself nuts visiting foam shops, and looking at internet sites.

2. Ditto for a Lycra/Spandex house.

3. Is bonding an issue with polyester, polyetheline, EVA, lycra etc?

4. Is there a standard adhesive for foam sheet bonding, or is it material specific.

Any help at all is a welcome relief.

Cheers,

JetAssist
