Pick The Right Glue For The Job: How to Select Adhesives For Bonding Foam
Whether you’re rebuilding the engine on a car or helping your child with his or her science project, things always go smoother when you use the right tools for the job. This is equally true in the world of foam, whether you’re a homeowner working on a DIY project or a business making custom seat cushions or foam mattresses.
The Foam Factory offers a broad selection of foam products, and along with them, spray adhesives formulated to work with every foam type they offer. This particular post will help you better understand why a process that seems so simple is actually surprisingly complex, and assist you in selecting the right adhesive for your project, with our detailed adhesive breakdown.

First, a little background information on why gluing foam is so unique:
(L to R) 3M Super 77, Claire Mist, and Camie 373 Spray Adhesives
Different types of adhesive being required for foam is a result of the diversity present in foam materials. In terms of feel, looks, and performance, open-cell foam and closed-cell foam are obviously different products. However, those dissimilarities aren’t just surface-level differences, as the foam types are individually unique due to their chemical and molecular structures. So while open and closed-cell foams still belong to the same family, the compounds they are made of create a range of variables when it comes time to put the materials to use. In this instance, they affect how a particular foam reacts to adhesive. Depending on the foam type, some adhesives may not form a bond strong enough to last, while others can cause a reaction that physically damages or even destroys the foam.
Fortunately, this isn’t something that has just recently been discovered, and special adhesive formulations exist for properly bonding all different types of the material. Of course, multiple, similar options can always create confusion without knowing which works best for your application. To make things easier, we’ve created an itemized breakdown of our three spray adhesive varieties.
Under each type of adhesive we carry, we’ve listed and linked to the foam types it works best with, as well as what it should not be used with. Whether bonding two pieces of the same material, or gluing to most substrates, just find the foam you’ll be working with, and you’ll find the correct type of spray adhesive for your project!

Under which classification is ‘memory foam’ and which glue is required to join pieces together for chair seat cushions.
Many thanks.
Hello Arthur,
To glue two pieces of memory foam, we usually suggest our Claire Mist spray adhesive. Foam-to-foam bonds are generally easier to create than bonding foam to different materials, and when applied properly, the Claire Mist does a good job at the right price. If you follow the instructions detailed in our PDF, How To Use Spray Adhesive With General Foam Products, you should be in great shape!
As for classification, there are a lot of different ways foam can be classified, so I’ve passed on your message to our Customer Service team, who will be contacting you to find out a little bit more information about your request. We can, however, say that in general terms, memory foam is an open-cell, temperature-sensitive/visco-elastic polyurethane foam.

Same question: How do I bond PolyEthylene to PolyStyrene ?
We would suggest our Camie 373 spray adhesive for bonding polystyrene to any other foam product we carry.
how do I bond expanded polystyrene foam with polyethylene foam?
Hi Matthew,
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is one of the trickier foam types to bond, as certain formulations of spray adhesive – the most typical bonding method for foam – can actually damage and dissolve the foam. Luckily, there are adhesives that are formulated to prevent that exact type of damage, one of which is our Camie 373. While primarily suggested for EPS use due to its non-damaging formulation, it may also be used with other closed-cell foam types, which polyethylene falls under. If you do elect to go with another method, be sure to check the manufacturer’s data to verify that it will not damage either of the foam types you’re working with.
I’ve passed your message on to our Sales Team, who should be getting in contact with you soon, to discuss any other particulars of your inquiry. Have a great day!

Please see the following link for cutting cushions. The same concept can be used for cutting memory foam. Keep in mind using an electric knife generally yields better results than a sharp carving knife. Link is below:
https://www.thefoamfactory.com/seatcushion/diy_cutting.html
Her is a link on how to glue the foam together after you make the cut:
https://www.thefoamfactory.com/seatcushion/diy_gluing.html

Hello,
I have an ekornes chair I need to glue an ekornes brand chair seat cushion back together after installing new springs. I am not sure what kind of foam it is. Is there an easy way to tell? Or is it possible to post a picture (or link to a picture) and you could tell what kind of foam it is by looking at it?
I sliced the foam seat cushion sideways taking about 1 inch off the top and peeled back a layer about 20 inches by 15 inches to expose the springs.
I want to lay the inch layer back down and seal it in place with glue to hopefully hold it in place so the springs do not tear at the foam.
I hope the right kind of glue will make it a “solid” piece again, I hope.
Thank you for this website and information
There isn’t a way to tell a foam types’ firmness and quality by a picture. Samples will need to be mailed to us for identification. Please see our contact us page for our address. Make the letter attention to sales and include a note of your request and contact information.
