foam rubber
Mattress fill material
Foam rubber is a spongy, resilient material made by introducing air bubbles into rubber or synthetic compounds during manufacturing.
It's used for cushioning in mattresses, furniture padding, packaging, and insulation.
The cellular structure gives it both softness and the ability to spring back to shape: The couch cushions were filled with foam rubber.
