Guitar Case Foam Density: What It Actually Protects

Foam density is the hidden spec buyers overlook.

Density grades

  • Low density: cheap, compresses fast.
  • Mid density: standard for gig bags.
  • High density: hard cases and flight cases.

Why it matters

Low-density foam bottoms out on impact. High-density foam absorbs and distributes force.

Checking

Press the lining — it should spring back firmly.
