The item is still brand new but considering I already had someone ask questions about the foam I just decided to cut open the package. The foam was vacuum sealed but I opened it to give everyone a better idea what they are buying and the measurements of the foam... which you will see in the photos. I took more photos showing how it was vacuum sealed and then when I cut the package open. The last photo is me getting the foam back in the bag the best I could because like I mentioned it came vacuum sealed from the factory.
