This is a question for Susan Jane or anyone who sews...You can cover foam with a cleaner's bag, leaving 'far' side opening of the bag, insert foam into cover, remove cleaner's bag. That's how they do couch cushions and the like. I think it would still be a PITA for that shape/size.
Also, if anyone here exercises on a mat, please weigh in with what you
think would be best, too.
I have a piece of foam, 2" thick, 6 feet long x 2 ft wide. I want to
make an exercise mat.
My first thought was to use an old comforter that I have to make a cover
for it, but after laying it out, I'm having second thoughts. Option 2
is to use heavy denim, what was once a sofa cover that I made.
Plan A was to make a fitted cover for the foam, but then, it wouldn't be
removable for washing, and I need that, so I had the idea of making it
like a pillowcase, where the foam slides into the covering. I would
also add straps with velcro at the end of the foam so that I could roll
up the mat like a sleeping bag and secure the roll using the velcro
laden straps. The backing of the comforter I wanted to use sticks on
the foam and does not slide, which makes it great for exercise, but
would be a real pain in the butt to get the cover off and on the foam
mat for laundering.
