how do you cut the foam if it is not pluck and pull?

Both previous answers work fine, but another trick is to wet the foam, wring it out, then freeze it. Makes it just hard enough to cut cleanly.

I scored the outline using a razor knife, then used one of those electric reciprocating kitchen knives (the kind you'd use to carve up a turkey or roast with the two blades) and it was very easy. Not sure how you'd freeze the foam unless you lived in areas that get that cold at night to freeze. The electric knife trick is easy and you don't have to wait until winter to cut your foam. :)

I personally use a electric foam cutter for precision cutting. It's more expensive then an electric knife but you can cut any shape without tears or snags.

I bought a very cheap electric carving knife and cut the foam to shape. I'm glad it was a cheap knife since the blade was ruined by the time I was done.

Place item on foam trace outline cut with quality serrated knife or hot knife. I used good serrated knife and came out very very good

I outlined the shapes I wanted and then cut them out with a fairly long sharp knife. I have been told that an electric knife does a better job.

An electric knife works best but any long serrated knife will work like a bread knife.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

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.

Foam was not pre-cut in case I received.I used a Sharpie to outline the 2 rifles I had & then cut out with a razor knife - worked great for my needs.

I use an electric carving knife to trim down foam mattress toppers. Foam cuts like butter, you must be careful as it's so easy to cut too much off, plus make sure what ever is underneath while cutting doesn't get sliced into. :)

It's fairly simple foam, you'd definitely be able to take shears to it to cut it down.

I don't know if this foam can be precut, however, I cut mine with an electric knife using the "meat" blade. It worked great. I used a large square and magic marker to lay it out and the knife cut it directly on the lines. I needed a 2 inch thick piece also and I was able to cut it with no problem. I just worked it from each edge. And, I needed a wedge cut so that I could fit a chair back into the seat area without getting "clumps." That worked A-Ok. My experience with foam? None until now. Also, the foam can be glued. I used 3M Super 77. I hoped I helped.

The mattress has a cover that you can remove by unzipping it. Other than that there should be nothing stopping you from cutting it evenly with the proper tool.

I am sure it would cut through it but I do not know if it would be a clean cut or not. I have never cut foam with a hot tool...I usually use an X-acto knife or something similar.

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!!

The foam is glued in but yes if you are careful you can slowly peel back and cut out the glue. You just have to watch out for residue sticking

It's just foam that is pre-scored for easy removal. it's scored in squares (as you look at the top of it). If you pluck out a single square, it comes out as a small (approx 1cm x 1cm) x 6cm column of foam. Generally: place the item you want to secure over the top of the foam, trace with a marker on the foam, and you know which squares to pluck. Works better with square stuff than with really curvy items, but easier than doing your own full cut out no matter what. Take out less initially. You can always take out more, but can't really put it back in after it's been separated from the main (although technically, you can glue it back in)...hope this helps.

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 ! :)

You could cut it with an exacto knife or something similar. The "pluck foam" is little squares .5 inch x .5 inch or so, so you won't get that "perfect" fit, shaped to the gun, but it is still a good snug fit.

There is a very thin layer if plastic that can be hard to see/grasp, xacto blade and tweezers if you must. Just be careful not to cut into the foam.

If the pillow ships with the foam, pre-blended with the hulls, how do you separate the foam from the hulls if you do not want to use the foam?

We cut it to fit the bed in our camper. It is not the kid of foam that will fall apart. The middle and edges are all the same, dense foam. We really love what it has done to make us much more comfortable. Also, if you have an electric knife it will slice through it like it is butter.
