There is another kind of PolyIso that is reinforced with fiberglass to give it greater compression strength.

You might look into that. As I recall, the compression strength was about 40% greater.

I have also looked at HighLoad Styrofoam, which is quite dense, but it doesn't seem to be available in anything thinner than 2".
