Cutting up latex
| Is it possible to cut latex at home? I have a king layer (about 2.6") that I would like to cut in half to make 2 twins. I guess I could just take a scissors and have at it but I'm afraid that might ruin it. So, is it possible to cut this, and if so what is the recommended method? Thanks. |

Cool. So, followup question. This is the piece of foam in question. I don't remember where I got it, its latex convoluted foam (fingers down in picture), probably not great quality. http://s1025.photobucket.com/albums/y311/st3v3k4hn/Convo%20foam/ Its not very old (<2 yrs), but clearly compressed in places, and some of the holes seem to have vanished. Does this mean its just worn out and needs replacing? Its uncomfortable because its way firmer in the middle. Would cutting this in half help at all? Thanks...

Looks like low quality latex. Possibly 100% synthetic? I have never seen the holes close up like that, but I don't have that much experience. I don't think you have much to lose at this point, but a newer higher quality piece might work better. Especially if you are saying it is compressed in some spots.
