OASIS Midnight Instant Deluxe Foam Bricks - 48 Pieces

Professional floral foam has always been something to hide. OASIS® Midnight Instant Deluxe Foam Brick changes that entirely. OASIS® Midnight Instant Deluxe Foam Brick, 48-Brick Case (SKU 10-20053) is Smithers-Oasis's heavy-density, fast-soaking black floral foam built on Deluxe Maxlife technology — a foam that doesn't just support and hydrate your arrangements, but actively works as a design element in them. Dry, it's a clean neutral gray. Soaked, it transforms to a rich, deep black that recedes behind flowers naturally, eliminates the need to hide the mechanics, and gives the colors above it a striking, high-contrast canvas to perform against.

• Transforms from dry gray to rich black when soaked — use as a visible design element
• Built-in rehydration indicator — foam fades from black back to gray when it needs water
• Up to 25% fewer stem materials needed vs. traditional green foam
• Certified biodegradable: degrades 75% within 1 year in anaerobic environments (ASTM D5511)
• Free shipping to all 48 contiguous U.S. states — included in listed price

The Instant Deluxe is specifically the production-volume version of the Midnight line — 48 bricks per case, pre-punched for faster saturation, and built on heavy-density Deluxe Maxlife foam construction for the stem grip that large, tropical, and top-heavy arrangements demand. The black color solves one of professional floristry's most persistent challenges: green foam shows through in any gap, forcing designers to over-stem arrangements to achieve a finished look. Midnight eliminates that problem entirely. You can leave it fully exposed for modern, minimalist designs — the black becomes part of the aesthetic — or use it in traditional covered arrangements and need up to 25% fewer stems to achieve the same finished look. The built-in rehydration indicator is equally practical: when the vibrant black fades to gray, it's time to add water. No guessing, no over-watering, no under-watering. Designed for wedding and event florists, contemporary design studios, high-volume production operations, and any professional who wants a foam that delivers structural performance and design intelligence in the same brick.

How to Soak and Use OASIS® Midnight Instant Deluxe Foam:

• Float and sink method: For Instant foam, place the brick holes-side down on the surface of clean, room-temperature water and allow it to absorb and sink naturally — fully saturated in approximately 60–90 seconds, faster than standard non-punched foam
• Never force the brick underwater and never hold it under a running faucet — forced absorption traps air pockets that create permanent dry zones, causing flowers in those spots to wilt regardless of surrounding moisture
• Add flower food or floral preservative to the soak water before placing the brick for maximum bloom longevity
• The foam is fully saturated when it sinks completely and stops bubbling — it will have turned from gray to a rich, deep black
• Cut flower stems at a 45-degree angle immediately before inserting to maximize water uptake and foam contact
• For exposed Midnight designs: trim the brick cleanly along the scored lines and position so visible faces are smooth and square
• Rehydration indicator: When the black foam begins fading back toward gray in your finished arrangement, add water — this is the built-in signal that the foam needs replenishment
• Important: Once soaked wet foam is allowed to dry out completely, it cannot be effectively re-wetted — keep soaked bricks submerged until ready to use

Who Uses OASIS® Midnight Instant Deluxe: Contemporary and high-style wedding florists, modern event designers building minimalist and exposed-foam installations, production studios working at volume who benefit from faster saturation and reduced stem usage, tropical and large-arrangement specialists, editorial and commercial floral photographers, and wholesale buyers supplying professional studios with black foam for current design trends.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes OASIS Midnight Foam fundamentally different from standard green OASIS Floral Foam?
A: Beyond color, OASIS Midnight changes how you design. Traditional green foam must be fully concealed — any exposed patch is a flaw that requires more stems to cover. Midnight's black color recedes naturally into arrangements and can be left intentionally visible in modern and minimalist designs, reducing stem usage by up to 25% while creating a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic. The color-change indicator — black fades to gray when the arrangement needs water — is also unique to Midnight and eliminates the guesswork around rehydration timing.

Q: What does "Instant" mean in OASIS Midnight Instant Deluxe, and how does it differ from Midnight Deluxe?
A: "Instant" means the brick is pre-punched with holes, which accelerates water absorption significantly — the Instant Deluxe reaches full saturation in approximately 60–90 seconds compared to roughly 2 minutes for the standard Midnight Deluxe. When soaking, place the brick holes-side down on the water surface. This faster saturation makes the Instant Deluxe the more efficient choice for high-volume studios and busy production environments where soaking time directly affects workflow.

Q: What is the most efficient way to keep a professional studio stocked with OASIS Midnight Instant Deluxe at the best price?
A: The 48-brick case here is priced at our everyday wholesale rate — with free shipping to the lower 48 already included — making it the most straightforward path to professional Midnight foam at the lowest per-brick cost, with nothing added at checkout. No account required, no minimum, no quoting process.
