Has anyone tried using inch and a half thick foam on their rail? I see that pretty much all of the builds here use 1 inch thick and I’ve seen a few threads discuss using 2 layers of 1” foam but I have not seen anyone even mention using inch and a half. My preference is for a slightly thicker padded rail but I don’t want to make upholstering the rail overly difficult. I helped a buddy reupholster his rail last year using the 1” HD rail foam from YAT and whisper vinyl. It wasn’t necessarily difficult, but it certainly was tedious. While his rail is comfortable and provides adequate cushioning, I just think a little thicker padding would be perfect. I could also be dead wrong.
I ask this because I found a 1.5” thick foam sheet that I think is comparable to YAT’s 2.0/65lb 1” rail foam. It’s a touch less dense at 1.7, but has a slightly higher 70lb rating. Your Auto Trim finally has their 1” HD rail foam back in stock, so going with theirs is also an option. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated...especially from our more experienced builders here.
