If it's pick and pluck foam it will degrade in a year or more. Some of the cheaper pluck foams leave a sticky residue as they break down.
Most foam rubber will give adequate protection against bumps and drops.
Clark Rubber sells an extensive range of foam and higher density rubbers you can peruse when you want to change the foam out.
