Hard on top disperses impact across a greater area. Hard on the bottom you'd just crater through a small area of soft stuff and land on the thin hard base. For a big drop this could make quite a difference.

The really good pads tend to have the thin hard stuff on top and bottom...

I'm not convinced that's an advantage personally, it just makes them heavier.

"Insert" joke about "thin hard stuff" here. Double double entendre.

AFAIAA only DMM do the whole sandwich thing. Good pads, but not as good as they used to be.
