My guess is that memory foam isn't sufficiently "porous" to attenuate the sound energy like you want. It may absorb some but not nearly as well as the standard panel materials.

No, what attenuates the sound is absorption by the material, which actually converts it to heat. More/larger 'holes' (greater porosity) lets the sound waves go through with less absorption.
