Just to clarify - the sheets and prices I cited earlier yield 4
cushions 400 X 450 mm. I purchased 7 each and freight was just over US
$ 200.-. Each cushion came to A $ 40.- landed on my door step.

Subject: RE: [Aus-soaring] Confor Foam
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 07:48:22 +1000
I just recently bought a quantity of Sunmate from Dynamic Systems for
our club and a few syndicate gliders. It costs less than Confor and
for all I know same or similar material. They were very good to deal
with. Transport of fluffy stuff is not cheap and it's worthwhile to
combine orders. For our purpose we chose to go two layered; one layer
of SunMate firm, 1", list price US $ 65.- for a piece of 32" X
37" and one layer of SunMate medium soft, 1/2", list price US $ 33.-
for a piece of 32" X 37".
My contact at Dynamic Systems was Ellie Brown, d...@sunmatecushions.com
<mailto:d...@sunmatecushions.com>.
