Why is foam so expensive?
Question:I went to buy a foam cushion the other day and was awestruck by how much stores were selling them for. Then I looked around a little more and saw the absurd prices for 'memory foam' mattresses.
What on earth makes foam so expensive? What could it be made of that costs so much??
I did finally find a reasonably priced foam cushion, but I had to go to several stores to find it.

I totally agree, not sure where you are, i'm in Australia.
We went to buy a foam pad for a wheelchair recently because my dad recently had a stroke, they wanted about 50 dollars for a square!
I nearly had a bloody stroke myself when they told me the price!
Yeah that memory foam for pillows is expensive too, the cheapest I can get a pillow is about 20 dollars.
that is totally stupid. and its expensive because the marketing world thinks that you would pay it. nothing is too expensive as long as someone will pay for it in the marketers eyes. now when it gets to the point that billionaires are saying "no im not spending 50+ dollars on a square of foam" then i bet they will make it cost less. but everywhere there is someone in great enough need to pay outrageously for something overpriced.
