Hey guys I spent a lot of time looking around for something like this and having failed miserably I came here looking for some help!

I have a lot of space in my apartment and would like to build myself a gymnastics-style foam pit (not for doing gymnastics in, just for novelty/diving into/lounging in).
This requires a lot of foam blocks.
Looking online at wholesales who sell directly to gymnastics centers, the prices are ridiculously high for pieces of cubic cut and colored foam.
That's when i thought: Hey, I know how to cut things and i dont care if they're blue!

So I'm asking you guys for help on finding large quantities of foam! the space i want to fill isnt exactly huge, 8ftx8ftx 2-3ft high.

Let me know if you find anything! TIA!

McMaster-Carr is a great place to look for any material:

My recommendation is also McMaster-Carr. They have nearly everything under the sun.

OP, I applaud what you are doing.
