Hi

Just wondering if anyone had advice on replacing some foam in a bouldering pad which has gone soft? What sort of foam you would need/is it worth it?

Many thanks

Did this with my Pod bouldering mat which had given me ages of good service. The outer is bombproof but the foam eventually went soft. Got new foam for cheap from Alpkit, slightly too big but easy to trim down with a breadknife. Only worth it if the outer is in good nick IMHO. There are multiple layers, take note of which way round they go.

In reply to Bertdog:

If you can get two different densities ov foam you might even make it better than it was. You want to land on a thin dense bit of foam with a thick softer bit underneath.

I got replacement foam for a Metolius pad from Beyond Hope but that was years ago.
