I am planning on first layer burlap then foam then having 1/2 inch skrim foam sewed Into the cover. It will cost more maybe but it really makes it better. Upholstery is expensive as crap. Foams expensive as crap and the guys who are good are expensive as crap. The guy posted above is really nice and he quoted me 325 for a nicer grade vinyl and is 6 weeks out but that's for a very basic tuck and roll one color cover . Hope that helps
Thanks Pinchecharlie for the info!

Thanks TKCR for the info youve posted, here are the measurements on the bottom foam I pulled. The width of the indented/wedged in section from underneath is 51 inches. The width of the portion that overhangs on each side is 3.5 inches.
