I use EVA foam from http://foamorder.com/closedcell.html for the edges of my padded swords. The company can be a little slow shipping the foam, though.

I haven't yet found a good, firm foam for the flats - I want to try the ACOR orthopedic foam that Jeanry advocates.

I use the blue camping pad foam for the edges, ($5 at any Wal Mart) though I would be interested to try something new. The swords I make hold together real well largely because of the material I use for the flat though, which is from ACOR orthopaedic. The brand name is "microcell puff", I get it in 1/8" thick sheets about 3' x 2' for something like $10 IIRC.

They also have a variety of other foams but this one seems to be the best I could find for this purpose.

You can reach them at 800-2372267

their website is www.acor.com

Good luck!
