Description
RG50/135 Pink High-Density Upholstery Foam
RG50/135 Pink Foam is a premium-grade polyurethane foam designed for upholstery applications where high density, durability and comfort are required.
The RG50/135 specification combines a density of approximately 50kg/m³ with a hardness rating of 135N. This gives the foam a high material density while retaining the more luxurious feel for which this particular grade is known.
It is especially popular for premium sofa, chair and seat cushion interiors where a customer wants good-quality foam without the excessively hard feel associated with some firmer upholstery grades.
RG50/135 is supplied here in full foam sheets, making it particularly suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, workshops and customers who need enough material to cut several cushions or components from the same sheet.
What Is RG50/135 Pink Foam Best Used For?
RG50/135 works particularly well where both comfort and quality are important.
Typical applications include:
- High-quality sofa seat cushions
- Armchair cushions
- Replacement cushion interiors
- Deep seat cushions
- Bench and window seating
- Premium upholstered furniture
- Furniture restoration
- Comfort layers over firmer upholstery foam
- Bespoke upholstery projects
One of its most popular uses is in seat cushions around 4–5 inches thick, where the depth allows the foam to provide a comfortable and supportive sitting surface.
It can also be used in thinner sections over a firmer foam base to create a softer upper comfort layer.
50kg/m³ Density and 135N Hardness
Foam density and foam firmness are not the same thing.
The 50kg/m³ density describes the amount of material within the foam and is an important indication of its construction and potential durability.
The 135N hardness rating relates to how the foam responds when compressed.
This distinction is particularly important with RG50/135 because it is a very high-density foam without being an extremely hard foam.
That combination is what makes RG50/135 useful for premium seating applications where long-term performance is important but the finished cushion still needs a comfortable, luxurious feel.
RG50/135 for Sofa and Chair Cushions
RG50/135 is particularly well suited to higher-quality sofa and chair cushion interiors.
In cushions around 4–5 inches thick, it provides sufficient depth for the foam to compress comfortably while still giving the cushion body and support.
It is therefore a useful option when replacing tired or collapsed cushion interiors where the customer wants to retain a softer, more luxurious seating feel rather than moving to an unnecessarily firm foam.
As with all upholstery foam, the final feel will also be affected by the cushion dimensions, thickness, furniture construction and the person using it.
RG50/135 as a Comfort Layer
RG50/135 does not have to be used as a complete cushion interior.
It can also be used as a comfort layer over a firmer supporting foam.
This type of layered foam construction allows the lower foam to provide the principal support while RG50/135 creates a more comfortable upper surface.
It can be useful for bespoke upholstery and furniture manufacturing where a single foam grade does not provide the required combination of support and comfort.

Looking for a Different Foam Sheet?
RG50/135 is only one of the upholstery foam grades available from Livedale.
Different foam grades provide different combinations of density, firmness and performance, so RG50/135 will not necessarily be the best choice for every application.
You can compare the wider selection in our Foam Sheets range, including soft, medium, firm, high-density and specialist foam grades.
This is particularly useful if you are unsure whether RG50/135 provides the feel required for your particular seating or upholstery project.
