seat foam seller?

Hi all,
trying to find a seller of seat foam, preferably 4-5lb to make a new seat. Any contacts in USA?

I visit a very good furniture reupholster in my area. Family business, been around +75 years. They actually will recover motorcycle seats (mostly HD and very expensive). When ever I need seat foam, I pay them a visit. A few months ago, needed a pice to replace crumbling stuff in a race car seat. They had just the thickness and density I wanted. Cut me off just the right amount, “cash sale”. Look around your area, you might find a similar place?

 People who do boat seats might have some better foam then strictly furniture repair places.

I sent a seat out to Sargent seat place in FL. and they sell something called 'super atomic' foam(something similar to that name..)which is a closed-cell foam and very resilient.I've had it for a While and that foam keeps it's resilience.
The OEM foam is open-cell foam,which will absorb moisture,etc. and breaks-down and hardens-up.
