'Schaumstoff' (foam) is made up of 'Schaum' (foam) and 'Stoff' (material). The word therefore refers to a material made of foam.

We need a piece of foam for the craft project.
When specifying the material, 'Schaumstoff' (foam) often follows 'aus' (made of/from). This combination describes what an object is made of.
Die Sitzauflage ist aus Schaumstoff gefertigt.
The seat cushion is made of foam.
Common combinations include 'weicher Schaumstoff' (soft foam), 'Schaumstoff zuschneiden' (to cut foam to size), and 'Schaumstoff verarbeiten' (to work with foam). The word is especially often used in connection with cushions, mattresses, and packaging.
Der Handwerker kann den Schaumstoff genau auf die gewünschte Größe zuschneiden.
