I needed to make a bunch of large pillows for a workshop just a few months
ago. I went to a local store that sells hot tubs. Every hot tub is shipped
with a Styrofoam cover on top. I was able to get the foam for free because it
was just destined for the dump. If you choose this route, be aware t
I really like that idea! I never would have thought of it. My mom used to use
strong thread to cut cheese, especially Velveeta.

Second reply - I meant to include that when I have finished cutting my
pillows, there is a strip of foam left over. I have used these pieces to
make several block pillows.
Try not to waste anything and only the shavings go into the garbage/land
fill.

I have a very fine, sharp fresh meat cutting knife, which is also great for
cutting foam.

Be careful with the hot wire cutter, as I have been told that the fumes are

I have made lots of pillows using the pink, blue or green insulation foam from
the builders merchants you mention, Susan. I use a knife with retractable
blade that I get from $ store that has the segmented blade that can be broken
off when it gets dull.

Hello everyone
A serrated knife was recommended to me for cutting builders' board/hard
foam, so that's what I used to cut inexpensive pillows. Draw guidelines
then 'saw' carefully through the lines in deliberate movements. Use a
piece of the foam as a self-magnet to pick up the bits. You can also
I used a steak knife on builders' foam. It was messy as little pieces went
everywhere and it was full of electricity so the pieces stuck to everything
(including me). I used a foam cutter from Hobby Lobby to cut a pool noodle and
