Reviews
Basement bumper pads help guard against injury by padding hard metal basement poles with a layer of medium-density open-cell foam. Whether you're concerned about your child's safety, or just tired of stubbing toes and banging your knees and elbows, these easily installed pads reduce the danger of support poles. Simply open the pad at the pre-cut slit, push it around the pole and it will wrap around snugly.
Custom Cutting is Available!
If special sizes are needed, please Contact Us!
To identify the diameter of your basement pole, wrap a string around the pole to find its circumference. Measure the string and divide the number by 3.14 (π) to get the diameter, then round the diameter up to the nearest hole size. For example, a diameter of 3-1/4" would round up to a 3-1/2" hole size.

Needed something to help protect the basement support poles. Bought these bumper pads and couldn't be happier. Easy to install and very soft. As an adult can run into the bumper and not feel a thing.

Great quality foam, arrived in a timely manner, fits well. I'm using it to wrap around the metal pole in my basement family room and it works great! Bumping into the pole doesn't hurt at all now. Holds its shape well and I don't even need zip ties to keep it attached.

There's a 3.5" pipe that runs along the roof of our shop's attic... I usually see it but I recently stood up into it and really gave my head a whack. Now it's got a nice thick pad running along the pipe and I no have the worry of avoiding it anymore. After almost knocking myself out that last time, I had to find a solution and this was a perfect fit.

Came quickly. Covers my Lolly column nicely. I would recommend this company

I have 3 metal poles in my basement. I didn’t realize how dangerous they were until my son smacked his head on one. I searched all over until I found these bumpers. I ordered 3 in 2 sizes. All 3 fit perfectly, they cover the entire height of the poles, they don’t smell, and best of all they really cushion the metal. Thank you Foam Factory!! I am very satisfied with my purchase.

We've lived in our house for 18 years. Previous owner put a cardboard tube around the garage pole - it worked, but the seasonal rain & snow made the bottom soggy and it eventually sagged and spread, forming a tripping hazard. Looked online for an alternative and was not happy with the prices I was finding (Amazon). Then found this resource! The foam wrap is firm and curves around the pole like a hug. Looks great, and I know I won't have that soggy bottom issue. And the price couldn't be beat. We're getting the floor redone and this pole wrap will be the finishing touch! Thanks!

I never thought I'd be excited about a piece of foam, but here we are. I have an obnoxious metal pole in the center of my 2-car garage that I'm constantly worried about opening my door into. Researched the right solution for this and wound up at Foam Factory. My order came quickly and the foam piece fits like a glove around the stupid pole. Don't know what else to say, but extremely satisfied.

I was looking everywhere for a pad for our basement support poles. Couldn’t find anything that would fit without doubling up. These fit perfect! And they go all the way up our 6’ poles. Great product!!

We used these around 10 lally columns in our basement. They fit like gloves. No longer worried about dogs and people getting hurt due to metal poles. Were delivered quickly and interaction with Veronica was immediate and thorough.

Added a couple of zip ties and it does the job.
Steve | October 31st, 2022
Got these for my basement so my kid doesn’t hurt himself while playing. Sure enough he bounced right off of the post and was totally fine. They fit great on the post
Erik | September 22nd, 2022
Great product, came quickly, was as advertised. We are using the basement as a VR space, so covering the poles is important. Looks good too

Couldn’t be happier with the product, exactly what I needed, I have two support poles in the part of my basement that’s an exercise room where my four year old and two year old grandchildren love to play but have bumped into the poles multiple times, I’ve done it myself, these fit the pole perfectly and are dense and soft and are perfect for the occasional stumbles into the poles, and a bonus feature it quiet’s things down when they hit the poles with whatever it is they’re hitting the polls with that day.
When I first removed them from the box they were a little scrunched up just from the packaging and shipping, totally understandable but in no time they look like they came from the factory.

I ordered the foam padding for the garage poles and to protect our family car doors from being dented. I then ordered more and placed them on every pole in my basement. The price was great, delivery was quick, sizing was exact, and the quality is great.

I needed to protect my SUV’s door from the metal garage pole. I ordered the foam and put it on the pole. It’s exactly what I was looking for and I received it quickly. Very happy with my purchase!!!

Got two of these pads for the basement poles when we remodeled, and they are exactly as described and a perfect addition to our new playroom.

I’ve been looking for months for something to cover my metal posts in the garage. All my problems was solved once I came across this product! It is absolutely amazing! It looks professional and does a great job of protecting vehicle doors jamming into the post. The packaging was also to notch! I highly recommend this product!!

Perfect for garage pole cover, high quality, came in uniform size, fast shipping!
Jake Gawel | February 7th, 2022
Best value, fit and look for something to keep our boys safe(ish) during basement play in long Midwestern winters. Have had for over a year and they remain in perfect shape. Just ordered more.
Eric | April 5th, 2020
I couldn’t be happy with my purchase. I use these in my basement and also in the garage which helps protect the car doors and are a lot safer while walking around. Great price as well! It would be cool if they offered different color options.

High quality pads, fit perfectly into our basement columns.
Dan | March 4th, 2020
I have my Virtual Reality system setup in my basement, and my basement has 4, 4" support poles across the center. These foam pads have proven perfect for protecting my controllers, knuckles, and head from crashing into the poles. These dense foam pads are great cushions from fast impacts and soft to the touch. I would definitely buy again.
Amy | January 29th, 2020
We did this on the pole in our basement and it’s perfect! It was easy and inexpensive and perfectly childproof!
Tim Land | January 2nd, 2020
A bit pricey, but perfect fit, perfect shipping.
Thank you.
Bobbie | December 19th, 2019
This product does the job but I’m not sure if I would buy again. Measured just as they recommended but they seem too big for the post in my opinion - they do not fit as described. The look is ok - like I said, it does the job - but I was expecting a little higher quality. Overall ok, job is done but look and fit are not great.
Joel | December 4th, 2019
Functional product, terrible lead time and un-empowered customer service. The product satisfies what it’s intended for but to find out that the product hadn’t even shipped on the day I would have expected to receive is unacceptable these days. Lead times should be two day max for on-hand supply. Customer service should have power to expedite shipping.
John Petrella | November 13th, 2019
Excellent padding for the columns in my basement, I no longer have to worry about the grandchildren banging their heads on the columns.
Thank you so much for an excellent product, fast shipping and an easy transaction.

Really nice affordable solution for a garage or basement. I used these in a garage to give some protection to the car doors when they were being opened. They are thick enough to take a good hit and they hold onto the poll well enough on there own that you don't even need to ziptie them or anything. Shipping was also really quick and the vacuum sealed foam made the package a reasonable size for what the expanded foam ended up being. It was also easy to unpack how everything was wrapped up.
Overall very satisfied and will likely get more from here for other applications.
