I "inherited" some upholstery samples from a neighbor and planned to make floor cushions for my son's family for Christmas. Then I priced foam! Yikes! anyway, a friend had several of the regular green foam that is the right size square (BIG) but is only 2" thick and I was wanting 4" thick. So my question is do you think it would work to spray either basting spray or a craft adhesive on them to fuse two together? I figure I will need to tie the center anyway.

There is a special adhesive just for adhering foam to foam. It has been a long time since I bought any, but try any store that sells the slabs of foam.

I'll defer to elnan's recommendation about the special adhesive but would otherwise say go for it. Commercial upholsterers and manufacturers have been doing this for decades to get the desired thickness and density for particular applications.

thanks, all! I was able to find some spray adhesive that specifically said ok to use on foam at WalMart--would never have really thought about need to have special adhesive without you all!

This is brand I used to glue foam together when I upholstered.

3m adhesive is a good brand for this application. Try Wal Mart, Home Depot etc to buy it.
