Seeking: foam bulkhead thickness?

Anyone using 1" foam for bulkheads? Have used 3" in the past but don't want to give up the space. If it is all sealed in 5200 it seems to me it would be plenty strong. Never push off the forward bulkhead...Wonder if it would be strong enough to hold sitting on the rear deck at entry?
This is for my Yukon and I am keeping it light so I do not want stiff bulkheads.
Any thoughts? Thanks,
