Can this foam be cut easily? I need a custom size for a camper project and plan to cut down the mattress.

I dont think it would be wise to start cutting this matress. It can be cut very easily with razor sharp edges. The instructions on the packaging instruct to use a scissor to remove the vacuum package of the mattress. I was toying with the idea of cutting a full sized matrress but im not sure if the outer shell of the mattress is heat treated to limit the flow of air. I definitely would recommend contacting the manufacturer with questions about cutting the mattress or having a mattress custom made. Those are my concerns. Im sure it would be fine if it were to be cut but i do not have enough information to recommend doing so. I dont think it would be wise to start cutting this matress.

I would say definitely. Haven't tried but I will probably need to cut mine down as well to fit just right in our camper.

I think it would cut the thin craft foam but not sure about adhesive foam. I have never attempted it. There is a Yahoo forum about the Pazzles Inspiration. I'm sure someone on there would be able to answer this question.

don't see why not. Perhaps using a box cutter vs. scissors to cut. It would be good to layer on top of regular foam to add cushioning. Great idea ! :)

It would probably cut foam board without a problem, but the 3/16 measurement might be difficult to manage since the paper cutter has a half inch grid.

It can be cut with the right tool. You'll need a sharp roller and no-cut pad that you can find in any fabric or craft store.

No I would not recommend cutting it. It is a perfect length for a step side bed of a pick up.

Yes, it is easy to cut. Make sure you consider the length. You may need more than one.

The foam is not pre cut. It is just a block of foam and you can trace and cut to fit anything you want.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

Yes, it can be cut. Be sure to measure well and take into account the fact that you may want the sheet to also cover maybe an inch or so over the sides.. for a seamless look.

Not sure what kind of adhesive you are using - mine didn't come with any and yes the foam can be cut - I have done that with mine.

You can cut any foam with a bread knife but you would hafta carefully re sew the cover back together afterward. Snap a chalk line on foam to keep cut straight. Good luck

I don't recommend cutting foam core with this product. Since you have to clamp down the stack to cut, and the blade cuts vertically, you will most likely cause the edges of your foam core to dent and wrinkle. I recommend a rolling or slide trimmer to cut foam core.

It looks like you can trim it. It is just a thick foam and does not look like it would come apart in any way. You will love this mattress!!

I love this mattress pad. Trimming it would be rather tricking. Not sure how you would cut it. I would advise buying a twin size.

I would say yes although the cut will depend on how neat you are and how neat you want it to be. My past experience with "foam" products has been to use an electric knife. The serrated blades seem to work better. Another suggestion I would make; snap a chalk line or use some other means to draw a straight line and the cut should be pretty "true". Good luck!
