Tried foam padding vs rebond padding on a job last month and the difference was night and day
I had to do a 12x15 room in a house in Phoenix and the homeowner wanted foam padding because it was cheaper. I warned them it might not hold up but they insisted. After three months they called me back saying the carpet looked lumpy and worn in the high traffic spots near the couch. I ripped it up and put in 8lb rebond instead and it looked flat as a pancake after that. Has anyone else dealt with customers pushing for the lowest cost pad and regretting it later?

Did you check the density on that foam pad or just go with whatever they picked?

Did you actually weigh the foam before installing it? I learned the hard way that factory specs on density can be way off, so I always check it myself now. @henrygrant, grab a cheap scale off Amazon and save yourself the headache of a pad that crumbles in six months.
