This is the theory behind laptop cases and sleeves made from Memory Foam. Although these cases do not use exactly the same Memory Foam as what may be used in a mattress (there are various firmness standards) they do a great job at protecting a laptop from bumps and scrapes.

Often Neoprene alone is used to make laptop sleeves. Adding a layer of Neoprene on top of Memory Foam makes what is already good – better. Neoprene is easy to keep clean and provides a water resistant surface.

There are benefits to both Neoprene cases and to Memory Foam cases. Neoprene is thinner and less bulky while Memory Foam is thicker and more protective. Neoprene laptop sleeves seldom have organizational pockets and handles while many Memory Foam cases do. Neoprene cases adjust to multiple laptop sizes while Memory Foam cases are most likely purchased to fit a particular size.

Memory Foam cases are a great choice if your laptop bag can accommodate it. Neoprene cases are best if your laptop bag is of a smaller size. I would suggest making your decision by considering your lifestyle.
