For heavy systems like the PS5 or Xbox Series X, the ideal material is Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) or High-Density EVA foam. Unlike standard soft sponge foam, these closed-cell materials are rigid enough to prevent the console’s weight from bottoming out, ensuring the system remains suspended and protected from floor impacts.

Yes, but with caution. High-quality XLPE foam has a high thermal threshold, meaning it won’t melt or deform from a console’s residual heat. However, because closed-cell foam is an insulator, it will trap heat. We recommend letting your console’s fans run for 2–3 minutes post-gaming before placing it into a tight-fitting foam cutout to prevent heat soak into the internal components.

One of the leading causes of stick drift is constant pressure on the joysticks during transport. Foamkart’s custom layouts include recessed thumbstick cavities. These are specifically routed deeper than the rest of the controller cutout to ensure the analog sticks remain in a “neutral” position with zero lateral or vertical pressure.

No. We utilize non-abrasive, micro-cell finishes on our top layers. Unlike “pick-and-pluck” foam which has rough, perforated edges that can act like fine sandpaper over time, our CNC-cut edges are smooth and sealed, protecting the “piano black” centers of the PS5 or the delicate screens of the Switch and Steam Deck.

Because the PS5 Disc edition has a physical “bulge” for the drive, a generic cutout won’t provide a secure fit for both. Foamkart offers modular spacer inserts. This allows you to use a single master layout with a removable foam “shim” that fills the gap if you switch from a Disc to a Digital console, maintaining a “glove-like” fit for both.

Absolutely. Standard soft bags allow the console to shift, which can damage the internal disc drive or HDMI ports. A custom Foamkart insert in a hard case ensures zero-shifting momentum. This is the only way to safely transport consoles as checked luggage, as it absorbs the high-G impacts of baggage handling systems.

We design dedicated cable routing channels and “finger-drop” pockets. This prevents the common mistake of “stuffing” cables on top of the console, which can scratch the chassis or put dangerous “kink stress” on the HDMI and power ports.

Yes. Our closed-cell XLPE foam is 100% waterproof and does not absorb ambient moisture. For long-term storage in humid climates, we recommend adding a small cutout for a silica gel desiccant canister, which keeps the air inside the case dry and prevents internal corrosion of the console’s motherboard.

“Pick-and-pluck” foam is made of open-cell polyurethane, which breaks down into dust over time. This dust can be sucked into your console’s intake fans, clogging the heatsinks. CNC-cut closed-cell foam does not shed or “crumb,” keeping your console’s internal cooling system clean and efficient.

Yes. Foamkart creates multi-layered “loft” designs. We can place the console on the bottom layer and design a removable top tray for lighter accessories like the PSVR2 headset, high-end headsets, or multiple “Pro” controllers, maximizing every inch of your storage case.

Some cheap industrial foams release chemical vapors (off-gassing) that can cause a cloudy film to form on optical lenses and plastic casings. Our high-purity EVA and XLPE are chemically inert and stable, ensuring no residue ever forms on your console or discs.

Because our foam is closed-cell, it is liquid-resistant. If you spill a drink or get dust on the insert, you can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or a mild electronics-safe cleaner. The foam will not soak up the liquid or stay damp, preventing mold or “old foam smell.”
