OK any thing like your describing is likely too hard. I made something similar and even though it passed field test it failed during use because it hit to hard. However I may not have understood your post.
Here's what I did that failed... I made a cylinder of foam and capped it off on one side then I wrapped that cylinder into a larger one I then filled the remaining space with blue chunks.
Here's what I've done that works: For a cylinder/pine coneish shape; 1,Place a circle of foam in the bottom of a nylon,
2, take a strip of blue foam the length of your circle's circumfranceXhow "tall" you want your rock, roll it so the ends touch and place it in the nylon (you want a hollow cylinder shape)
(steps one and two are interchangeable)
3, stuff chunks of open cell and blue foam into the cylinder
4, tie off the nylon and fold the end over the rock, repeat until leftover bits of nylon no longer encase the rock.
You may have to use more than one nylon in order to keep the foam from showing through
For a more sperical shape:
1) circle of camppad in the bottom of the nylon
2) same as step 3 for a cylinder
3) same as step four, except your going to tie off as soon as the height roughly matches the circumferance of your circle, then you will repeat steps 2 and 3 one more time before tying off and folding over until no overhang remains.
I would also suggent taping down the last bit of foldover with som hockey tape so it doesn't come loose and develop a "tail".
