The foam itself will not be enough. E.g. foam with only a thin cotton-like covering? Garbage, will be barely better than a beanbag. Separated cushions will help rigidity too as they will deform and reduce the load on the main form. Get the most dense/stiff foam possible to maintain form: you can always soften it with more cushions, you can’t do opposite.
