They sell replacement sponge material in 4"x2'x2' bulk in two different sponge sizes. Low Maintenance Sponge and small pore size. Each bulk sheet would make 36 or their 4"x4"x4" sponges.

i have used the foam they sell at hobby lobby with no ill effects.
they will turn from white to a yellow gray color over time thou.
just get them wet and freeze them that will make it easy to drill
the holes for the lift tube.

Hey funky, are those a small or large pore foam? What department do you find it in?

[funkyfish]

they were small pore. they were by the fabrics for chairs labeled nontoxic
breathable foam for cushions 2'x2' and larger pieces from 4 to 6 inchs thick.
when i bought mine it was 4 bucks for a 2'x2'x6" piece (year ago).
