I finished buying all my materials today and 2 inch foam was all I could get. I went a bunch of different places and the 2 inch foam at JOANN's turned out to be my only option. I think I can make it work though.

For wood I went with 1/4 inch luan from Home Despot and I am going to make the base and rail both with this so the extra thickness in foam will help make up for the thin wood.

I went with luan as I am building a topper and trying to keep the weight down. I appreciate everyone's advice and insight - I hope I can pull this off.
