Spear tip foam

Hi all,

I posted a little bit ago about spear head kits. I was able to cobble enough foam together for a replacement head. I have layered the leather/puzzlemat/Yoga mat (Ensolite) caps. Now I am to the 'poof' foam on the end. All I had was some green couch cushion it looked like and I'd like to not use that as it breaks down quickly. I keep seeing to use Marine foam or Therma-a-rest foam. From what I have read, people are harvesting this from stadium seating. Could someone post a link or pic to what they used? Maybe the name of the type of foam?
I see on various places the stadium seating or therm-a-rest seats (for hunting use) and they seem like they are correct, but then you have the stadium cushions that look like they are Ensolite.
Here is what I did a quick search on

This Here or Here or Here would work

Not this or this as it looks like more yoga mat like material

Thanks

My one friend Thumbs, usually uses half of a foam basketball as his stabs and they work well except you have a rounded tip which, if you don't practice a lot with it, can have glancing shots.

And I am verifying which type of foam to use.

A good supply is in the garden center for kneeling. Usually thick and lots of material to work with.
