Description
This calculator will give you the price for one piece of custom cut organic latex.
Your custom cut may be two pieces glued together. The seam is very subtle and will not affect the flexibility of the piece. We use a water based, low VOC GreenGuard Gold certified glue. Its data sheet is here. The gold level of certification approves the glue for infant bedding, schools and health care facilities.
CALCULATOR TIPS
- Your total cuts cannot be larger than a king size mattress: 76″ x 80″ x 6″.
- Also, if you have an odd shape such as a crescent or a L shape, your price will be calculated by the smallest rectangle that your cut will fit into.
- There are no differences in price between firmnesses.
CUTTING DETAILS
In order to get the latex to fit well in a case, consider either cutting it .5″ (for smaller cushions) – 1″ (for larger cushions) larger in both dimensions. Plump cushions often use batting to round them out. See post here for more info on why and how to use batting.
Our GOLS latex comes in 6” slabs and as large as 76” x 80.” We can cut in increments of .5 inch, generally. The depth and the width of a cut can be no less than 1″. In other words, we can cut a piece 33.5″ x 1″ x 6″ but we cannot cut a piece 33.5″ x .5″ x 6″.
If you need to make a pattern, I recommend using Builder’s Paper or a strong paper and taping both sides of the paper when you need to tape. The better the pattern, the more accurate your cut will be. Latex is rather springy and is difficult from which to get an exact cut (to the ¼”, that is). A clear pattern alleviates one potential difficulty.
DIY CUTTING
If you are looking for a mattress sized piece of latex to cut yourself that is 3″, look in our latex section. If you are looking for an uncommon depth, such as 3 1/2″, 2″, 1″, etc. check out the latex in the Clearance section. We post our special occasion depths there. Instructions on cutting your own latex are in our blog.
