Maybe something like this
McMaster-Carr
If you choose a 1" thick material, maybe you need 2-3 pieces in series. They have the loads listed so you could pick an appropriate cell density.
For example if you want the material to crumple at 500 Lbs force you might pic 4 square inches of 250 psi rated material
I would orient the material such that the long axis of the cells are parellel to the direction of travel.
You are relying on the cells buckling but they are thinwall so they will give in near rated load. The should crumple and absorb work.
