A foam padding comprising:
- a substrate layer having a first side and a second side,
- a plurality of first foam oblate spheroid halves of a first density, each half having a flat surface attached to the first side of the substrate layer and a hole passing through the half, and
- a plurality of second foam oblate spheroid halves of a second density, each having a flat surface attached to the second side of the substrate layer opposite one of the first foam spheroid halves and a hole passing through the half,
- wherein each pair of first foam oblate spheroid halves and second foam oblate spheroid halves has a combined height that is less than a width of a first foam oblate spheroid half, and
- further wherein the hole passing through each pair of the first foam oblate spheroid halves substantially aligns with the hole passing through the second foam oblate spheroid halves.
