Memory foam as bass treatment?


Can memory foam, say from a bed, be used as a bass trap?  
 

I ask because I might repurpose a queen-sized memory foam mattress.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks.

In my experience, Real Traps was far better than GIK. @ethan_winer was enormous help with placement and determining the right number for my room.

@ethan_winer  You are most welcome -- and to everyone else, I want to add that I inherited 14 different acoustic unit treatments, including GIK corner units and 2x4 foot traps. They all promised bass absorption but I still was not able to tame the bass in my room. Ethan Winer's recommendations were exactly what the room needed -- no excess, just right -- and they made it possible to do what I could not do what twice the number of other bass traps. It was really no contest.
