How to cut memory foam cleanly? - Tool Talk

I&#;ve never cut memory foam - but we produced assemblies for aircraft customers that included various foam inserts (almost like upholstery cushions). We had a Bosch A with several different lengths of knife blades for different thicknesses. It sort of works like an electric knife that uses 2 counter moving scalloped-edged blades to do the cutting. I was then a pricey tool and I&#;m not sure that it is still made. I see on Amazon that there are alternatives:

The Hercules one looks much like the old Bosch - and was probably sourced from Harbor Freight - but is no longer available on their site.

The current Bosch model doesn&#;t seem to be readily available this side of the pond - but can be ordered (very expensive for a 1 off project)

How to cut 4' foam (perfectly) for cushion??

I know this sounds funny but I'm hoping some of you upholsterers will chime in.

I bought outdoor foam (expensive!) that is 4" thick. My seat cushion that I'm making curves and flares. I need to cut my foam perfectly so that it holds it's shape on the sides for my fabric to lay over nicely. I mean, I'm afraid that if it has hacked edges or if I compress the foam to cut it, maybe the sides will bulge therefore making me cut too much out of the sides. Does that make sense? I just want the "planes" of the cushion to be at 90 degree angles of each other.

I feel like taking a huge steak knife or saw blade and chiseling out the shape---but what is the proper way to do it?
