Where do you find Foam for a Foam Pit?

Any ideas? Scrap Foam, big blocks whatever?

Any idea on what type of business to ask around town for scraps?

Ours has matresses and carpet foam on the bottom layers, and then foam they got from a local skatepark on the top.

My experience suggests that lots and lots of smaller blocks works best, the bigger ones tend to provide harsh landings, and the smaller ones provide more "suspension" and more forgiving, like falling into fluffy water. Be careful to get foam that has enough dampening that you're not gonna go too far too fast.

warehouses use foam and have to change it out periodically, we got ours from a Harris Teeter warehouse who was changing theres out.
