"Temperfoam," aka "Astronaut's Couch" stuff may be
good also. It compresses slowly when weight is
applied. Instantaneously, like pounding with a
fist, it gives much less. The mfr's missive that
comes with it says "impact safety factor that has
no equal."
Gee, sure hope so. I bought a bunch of it, and it
ain't cheap. Real comfy too.
