Can I trim or cut this foam?

I would not suggest to do that. It is very dense. I'm afraid it would lose its texture.

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!!

Yes. You will need to adjust the depth of the blade of the straight cutter or use an exacto knife which is my preferred method. The cutting guide may not sit flat on 3/16 foam board. The angle cutter will also need to be adjusted for foam board.

I have not tried to cut that type of foam but I would imagine it would, you might want to keep the temp dialed down so you do not get a melting effect.

Once you rip the squares out it would be very difficult to place them back. You may be able to order a whole new foam incert once you modify.

Sure. And what works best IMHO is an electric carving knife. Cutting foam with those is the only reason I keep one around.

No. My use of the foam was for a display case for collected knives. And it's easy to cut with a sharp razor, using a straight edge as a guide.

the queen size one i got was about 58 x 78 i think. i dont see any reason you couldnt cut it, its soft enough that id think some heavy duty scissors would do it. BUT you wont have the nice edge that comes from the factory, it will probably be jagged looking but wont affect the foams function. its also flexible enough that for that couple extra inches you might be able to just fold it or tuck it down next to the wall or something. depending on how your bed is set up.

Can be done, BUT the knife edge is about 5/8" tall so makes intricate details and sharp inside corners difficult at best. the thinner "Needle" type knife is needed for the finer details. Great knife for cutting large areas, fully adjustable temperature settings is great. I now have both. If your foam has a plastic or paper covering on it, it will need to be removed first, like on Foam Board (Blue or Pink). If on the white bead board with the plastic covering,,,, use a knife or razor blade, forget the hot knife.

I would be cautious of types of foam you try cutting with it.. it's intended for styrofoam. Even Styrofoam needs cut in a ventilated area. I would contact the manufacturer on safety precautions on cutting foam if your referring to the spray can type or the home insulation type as it could release deadly cancerous gases that could kill you. If your referring to the spongey foam used for sponges or for stuffed in packing and corners to pack around a ac I think a hot knife might be more suitable

The foam is pre-cut. Although not form fitted because you could have any number of cinfigurations. It is very nice tho.

Yes, I believe it can be cut. It is a foam with beads with each grain. Cutting it should not hurt it.

You can easily cut the foam to the desired size. They have outlet and switch covers

Not sure because the cover would be larger than the pad but I think the foam would be alright to cut just the cover would be larger. We returned ours because to smell was so strong even after months. It may air out in the summer but we got tired of waiting so we sent it back.

Sure, it would be easy. Try wrapping tape around the foam for clean line when you cut. Are you looking for grips though? This is more for road bike type bars.
