Okay, so I checked out Bob's foam...cool place. The Airex stuff sounds
ideal, I'm not familiar with what it is. The Ethafoam he has is a poly
ethylene plank like I mentioned before. I would check the price of this
to see how it compares to the Airex. Unfortunately, he doesn't list the
density of the stock he carries so I would ask. EPS (also trade
styrofoam, now you know what it is, right?) is not cushy or flexible.
