Thanks for all of the advice everyone.

Al, I am not the seamstress you are!

I found an upholstery shop who will sell me two huge sheets of high density foam for $35 each. They want another $50 to cut it, but I think I will do it myself. And if it's a little raggedy, well, it'll be covered by the covers anyway, right?

As for the fabric, a lovely, talented, and generous TC member offered to sew them for me, so I got in touch with my inner girlie and went fabric shopping.

I'm not SO girlie, by the way, to have falied to notice that "Melinamade" is indeed out of control beautiful.

But, at $40 per yard, she's too high maintenance for me - I found another pattern I like for only $10 per yard at

Probably won't have 'em done in time for Exotica, but soon...
