Why Our Foams and Felts are Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all understand that off-the-shelf braces and pads do not always solve every problem. When an athlete sustains a deep contusion, a severe blister, or needs to play with a healing fracture, they require highly customized protection. Our selection of athletic foams and orthopedic felts provides your sports medicine staff with the raw materials needed to craft exact, tailored solutions. Having these supplies on hand allows athletic trainers to quickly cut and shape shock-absorbing "donuts" for bruised hips, create customized arch supports for foot pain, or pad rigid casts so athletes are legally permitted to play by the referees. Investing in bulk foams and felts is a highly cost-effective way to ensure your athletes stay comfortable, protected, and on the field.
Top-Tier Foams, Felts, and Custom Padding
We stock the most sought-after and highly searched sports medicine padding on Google to ensure your training room is fully equipped for any injury.
- Cramer Foam Cast Cover Kit: An absolute necessity for contact sports like football and soccer. Most state athletic associations prohibit players from entering a game with a hard, exposed fiberglass cast. This professional kit provides the exact high-density foam required by referees to safely wrap and cover a cast, allowing your athletes to compete without endangering the opposing team.
- Dual Density Foam and High Density Foam Kits: The go-to materials for deep tissue impact protection. These heavy-duty foams absorb and disperse kinetic energy. Athletic trainers frequently cut these foams to create custom protective shells over collarbone injuries, hip pointers, and severe thigh contusions.
- Adhesive Foam Kits and Orthopedic Felt: Essential for friction management and basic support. The adhesive backing makes it incredibly easy to cut out precise shapes and stick them directly to the athlete's skin or inside their footwear. This is the ultimate solution for preventing severe heel blisters during two-a-day practices or adding temporary metatarsal support to a poorly fitting cleat.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the primary use for dual density foam in sports medicine?
Dual density foam features two distinct layers: a soft, shock-absorbing inner layer that rests against the athlete's skin, and a dense, rigid outer layer that disperses the force of an impact. It is primarily used by athletic trainers to create custom protective pads for severe bruises and deep contusions.
2. Can athletes play contact sports with a hard cast?
In most regulated high school and collegiate sports, a player cannot take the field with a bare, hard cast because it can injure other players. However, if the cast is properly wrapped with at least one-half inch of high-density, closed-cell foam—such as our Cramer Foam Cast Cover Kit—referees will typically clear the athlete to play.
3. How do athletic trainers use orthopedic felt?
Orthopedic felt is incredibly versatile. Because it is highly breathable and resists packing down under pressure, trainers frequently cut it into horseshoe shapes to relieve pressure around blisters, or use it to build up customized arch and heel supports inside athletic shoes.
4. Is the adhesive foam kit easy to cut and shape?
Yes. Our adhesive foam comes in sheets or rolls that can be easily cut with standard athletic training shears or heavy-duty scissors. The sticky backing allows you to apply the custom-cut shape directly to the skin or the inside of a helmet or shoe instantly.
5. Do you accept school purchase orders for athletic training supplies?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and athletic trainers can easily submit a formal PO to keep their sports medicine departments fully stocked with bulk foams and felts.
