Cork blocks made a huge difference, but I need a better fit

Cork blocks made a huge difference, but I need a better fit

I finally got around to raising my speakers to ear level and the difference in clarity is night and day. Highly recommend trying this if you haven't yet.

I'm currently using these cork yoga blocks (22x14x7cm) as a proof of concept. They work great because they're rock solid, but the dimensions are slightly off for my specific speakers. I’m looking to swap them for something with a 25x18cm footprint and 5cm height.

Ideally, I'm looking for a high-density, closed-cell material that's just as firm as cork—most acoustic foam I've tried is far too squishy. If anyone has found a good source for sturdy industrial foam or custom blocks in these dimensions, let me know.

Curious what you guys are using for low-profile risers!

/edit:

Probably going to pull the trigger on these if I cannot find something better. The dimensions seem to be ideal for most speakers as well.
