In the reinforcement range, a plurality of recesses recessed from the exterior surface toward inside of the foam molded product are formed, and the reinforcement layer is formed on the surface layer including an inner surface of each recess. A method of manufacturing the foam molded product includes adhering and depositing the charged short fiber onto a cavity surface of a mold to form a fiber layer, compressing the fiber layer with a silicone rubber sheet, and then molding the foam molded product.
