Fabric stores like Joanns, carry upholstery grade foam. It can be cut easily with an electric knife...like what you have but never use for your Thanksgiving turkey. Cover with a piece of batting and then make your cover with a fashion fabric. Instead of webbing, I use a piece o ply would cut to fit. I find that over time the webbing sags. If you still want the webbing, this can also be found at Joanns.

Automotive seat belt material will make excellent webbing.

Try calling an upholsterer for the strechable webbing. You can also ask the upholsterer to make cushions or if you are talented enough, you can make them yourself

You can order foam and proper webbing off the internet. Upholstery folks are an unnecessary 3rd middle man. Search reupholstering supplies. Your hardest choir is the rating of the foam. Research that first. It's super easy. I just purchased new foam for my sofa, it was $60 total!

I think you could find everything you need at a Hancocks Fabric Store if you are close to one

You can also buy the webbing you need either from a upholstery supply shop or online... I have purchased webbing from online-- Very easy to do.... with a good stapler

I also like DIY for their free swatches and good videos. Sailrite puts out great videos (1 just on foam, and a few on cushions), has nice fabrics ($1 swatches) and all the supplies you'd need - can be expensive, but great service and to keep getting great videos are enough for me to spend a bit more. Toto, like the dog, fabrics.com has free swatches that you can get in batches of 12, some very good prices on remnants, often commercial grade so not always the softest stuff, but good with kids and pets. Don't look for the most fashion forward, but if you're going for something more true to the period, they'd be good. They do an exceptional job with the verbal descriptions which helps with monitor color issues and they send out a yard or more of free fabric with every order. I've been very lucky with their random selections - last order included 3 yards of a faux silk that I'm using on my 6 dining room chairs! Another free-bee may redo my bar stool seats - if only the fabric would actually do the redo, Only problems with the free yards are that they are pulled at random by the warehouse people so no way to order more or find out the fabric content, oh and then if you like them like I have, you have to go find places to use them. BTW I'm not affiliated with them in any way - only a happy customer.

You can get the webbing at many fabric stores that sell upholstery fabric. They'll also sell the foam, fabric and zippers needed to make new cushions.
