Yes, Agnes...what I know as ethafoam is, as you say, like memory foam. Although the two pillows I own aren't soft at all....just not rock-hard like some of the polystyrene products.
The material in my pillows is a bit like the stuff pool noodles are made of - just a little bit firmer. One of my pillows came from England (I think the chap who made it has given up and gone fishing or something) and the other came from the U.S. The English one is nearly 20 years old, has had constant use, and is still as good as new, unlike my pillows stuffed with other substances. Even my horsehair pillow has a very slightly soft bit in the centre.

I had the impression that ethafoam was like memory foam, and wondered about the suitability for lace pillows, as it is rather soft adn squigy. Agnes Boddington Hi Agnes and everyone In essence, ethafoam = polystyrene , also known as polyethylene-based extruded foam, for our lace pillows. It has many uses; museums use it for packing artifacts.
