Yes i'm trying to but i don't see it in the build pdf document :(
It just says "damping" in the Damping section near the end of the pdf.
I think i read that document 5 times from start to finish since i first started the build lol
Damping just means the general concept of it right? Or is it a brand in usa or something?
Can you please tell me where it talks about it in the doc? Thanks :)

Page 14: Damping material lines the back. You may use an inch to two inches of acoustical foam or open cell urethane mattress topper foam (not memory foam), or polyester pillow stuffing or upholstery batting, available at fabric stores and department stores. It may be attached with staples or spray adhesive.

Ohhh damn sorry about that, it was right before the "Damping" heading in the doc.

Could someone show me an example image or in a online store of the foam used?
I see many types, i'm not sure, is it white material?
Is it the same as the acoustic panels in pro audio recording studios??
Canadians, where you get them?

You really need to read closer......

Do NOT get memory foam. Do NOT get gel.

It's a cheap foam mattress topper. Shouldn't be more than $20-25 for a twin size.

There's not this product on walmart canadian, and its about the same price converted to cad.

You may have to order it from amazon.....or try another store. You can check a mattress store, but it will probably be more expensive there.
