Anyone know of other places?

go to B&Q buy some styrofoam insulation boards then wrap it with insulation and then put a cover on it thas what it looks like to me

[Chained_Water]

It is (very firm) foam with covers.. but I think it costs more to get that kinda foam cut and so on yourself and then make the covers.. it's an option, but obviously finding some decent ones for good price would be more straight forward.

The ones in the pic are quite basic, the sort of standard ones you see around though are a bit more fancy and have arm rests and proper back rest.

[Phoenix CG]

its not expensive, and its very easy to cut use a power tool and some vices to hold the board onto a work bench. and it should be pretty simple.

I dont know, maybe you could try Edgware road? But thats in London sister, also expensive that part of the city.

If i remember right there were two like Arab furniture shops there, ill try to dig it up for you later, but cant say 100% because i havent been there for a while.

[Chained_Water]

board? what do you mean by board?
link me to what you're talking about..

[Phoenix CG]

the foam sorry u can get ones with board on the back, they're quite firm, am not sure if its on the net lemme check, i just remember it from all the building wrok!

[Chained_Water]

Board makes it sound hard? They're not hard..
They are very firm, not like normal sofa cushions.. but they're still soft enough to sit on comfortably..

Someone must know where to get them

[Phoenix CG]

put http://www.wickes.co.uk/Polystyrene-...rd/invt/210823
that on a wooden backingput a cushion or something soft on top if you want, stable it around and then put ur cover on

[Chained_Water]

That's long!!

Who's gonna buy wood, buy the boards, buy the cushions, cut it all and stick it all together and then put a cover on it? No thanks

It'd probably be far more expensive, a lot less comfortable and lot more time consuming... but thanks for trying dude

NEXT....

[Phoenix CG]

its abotu the experience!

[truepath]

in berlin many TJ bros have this type of seating arrangements in their homes

[Chained_Water]

Hmmm..

Maybe.. but if I was gonna do it myself that's still not how I'd do it.. I'd go to some foam companies and check out the different density foams and try to get a good deal..

Maybe I should just go on holiday to Morocco and bring some back with me.

as salamu alaikum,

as long as you can sew covers.... trust me its dead easy to make them at home.... buy foam... cut them into right size... sew their covers n envelope them... ur done...

[Chained_Water]

Belal br.. you should've told me that in private.. now everyone knows the get rich quick scheme

Truepath, we're considering it.. just need to look into the cost.. and would've prefered the quick option of going into a shop handing over some dosh and hey presto..

[~S.E~]

They are beautiful. They look Tunisian or Morracan in the link. I love them styles. My dad's family abroad have these kinds of things in their guest rooms but they are higher off the floor slightly.

[Abu 'Abdullaah]

Very easy to make.

In fact, you won't even have to make them. All you need are the two sets of cushions from an old sofa and put some new covers on them.

[NoLa]

I am cheap. I just take off the couch seats and put new fabric on them and I find decent size throw pillows or cushions for law furniture

Noooo.. they are not like sofa cushions.. they're a lot more sturdy/firm..

Get yourself a carpenter, who will build you a 10 inch platform, and then put foam on top and then get some throws
cost you maybe 500 in total, but you will have an awsome seating area

[Abu 'Abdullaah]

CutFoam

We have provided foam blocks and foam low level seating to create an authentic Arabic/Moroccan theme to restaurants, events companies and private individuals.

[Uthman Ibn Afan]

try asking someone who makes those TP setees, maybe they can make some. I think theres a shop on washwood heath road that makes setees.
