Looking for a rubber-type material

Looking for a rubber-type material

Looking for a rubber-type material

(OP)
I am looking for a rubber material that can remember its original shape. It may change its shape under outside force, but can slowly restore its original shape. Sponge is a good at restoring its shape but the restore process is not slow enough. I have more requirements.
1. It is a strong material (you got to press it hard to change its shape).
2. It has no harm to the body of human beings.
3. It can change its shape relatively quick after applying outside force (say pressing)
4. It will restore its original shape relatively slow after removing the outside force.

Could anybody please provide some advice?

Thank you!
