Abstract
Foam laminates reinforced by securing a reinforcement member between the layers of the laminate. The reinforcement member is secured between the sheets of foam that comprise the laminate during the lamination process. Spaces in the surface of the reinforcement member allow the foam sheets to bond to one another during lamination, securing the reinforcement member without additional steps or material.
