Yeah, but if you can't feel/hold it, it's hard to know for sure it's the right stuff.

About the PS: 14v @ 20A is indeed 280w, but you have to figure in charger efficiency of around 80%, so you only have about 224w available to get to the batteries...

They have descriptions of the firmness of the foam on there and comparisons to everyday items to assist. Of course you could also order some small sample pieces of a few to aid your choice. Should only cost a few bucks.
