MEMORY FOAM! Well I was apart of something similar to this. Where you had to make a surrounding for an egg which you put the egg inside it and droped it from 30 feet. I made mine a box and inside it was a bunch of memory foam (developed by NASA

)
I worked great for me. I just call a bunch a companies that sell this stuff, and they sent the form samples

(4" by 4" by 1")
P.S. I am just suggesting the material.
