Hey emoney  any good ideas on cutting foam mattress (what tool for cutting cushion size pieces ) from a king size full foam mattress?  I have option of a free king size and was thinking of replaceing all cushions in my R/V  But have no idea of how to cleanly and straight cut this mattress  ??   Hot wire ? blade ? This will need to slice off approx 4" X 2 ft X 4 ft pieces  Frank

Upholstry shops typically use an ordinary electric carving knife... just like the old ones used to carve a turkey with.
I reserve the right to reject your reality and substitute my own...

I had luck with a bread knife.  Just went slow and it worked for me.

Use an old cushion to go to school and practise on.  Need a report so we'll know what to do.

Happy cutting. :laugh:
