egg-crate
Bumpy foam pattern
Egg-crate describes a grid pattern of intersecting slats or panels that resembles the cardboard dividers used to protect eggs during transport.
The term appears most often as a modifier: an egg-crate louver on a light fixture diffuses glare, and egg-crate foam mattress toppers feature rows of peaks and valleys.
The structure provides both cushioning and airflow, making it popular in bedding and acoustic applications.
