A thousand audio uses for memory foam. Or maybe just one . . .

So i have this old memory foam topper for my bed, and before I cast it off completely, the DIY part of me I got to thinking, could it be used for acoustics in any way? I don’t have the slightest clue as to the frequency it would be good at, but cutting it into various rectangular shapes and sizes first comes to mind. I could glue them to some plywood and diffract and/or diffuse sound. 

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Try different small shapes and sizes... 2x2x1, for example,
and even smaller than that.

Place on components, at the end of cables, speaker cabinets.
Experiment with different foam pieces as headphone pads too.

Different sizes, weights, and foam densities will yield different results.
Even try the stuff that is used in packaging.

You may be astounded at how foam can tame micro vibrations.
Think small.
