Hey Em,
I would definitely recommend sticking to the 1.25 for your spear,to guarantee a pass .The marshal checking your stuff has to feel comfortable with your weapon.
They have recently been more stringent on the requirements because whippy weapons because its easy to get carried away and hit too hard.
Pool noodles are allowed but you get so much more flexibility with the insulation.It often adheres better too,meaning your weapon will last and last.
As for foam if you want cheap find an old cushion in the trash or a thrift store. Alternatively Michaels crafts or Walmart in the home decor section.
I am an armor marshal in ralinwood so please don't hesitate to send me questions.
