One cubic metre to be precise. After rolling in honey, i plan to fill the bath tub with them, and erm, nevermind...

What stores might sell them?

Try a packaging supplier - I used to work for one and we sold them - cheaper than shops too

I was hoping to find a high street chain I could just walk in off the street and buy without having to spend time tracking someone down... my best guess is staples, but Im not holding my breath. Any suggestions?

Can't you buy them in Staples? I bought a huge roll of bubble wrap there, and I'm sure they do other types of packing material.

I'm not sure Fries, and a quarter pounder with cheese has the same energy absorbing properties of styrofoam...
