Hi Sherri, all -

Are there any good substitutions for foam that are less toxic*?  i.e., would
a cardboard egg carton do the same sort of thing or is the surface not
permeable enough?

I love the idea of putting sound-grabbers on the undersurfances of chairs
and tables! fabulous!

This is a ways out for us still, but it's always great to gather
information,

(*I have no data on the actual toxicity of foam, I just know that it gives
me a headache, which is usually  pretty good measure)
