Hah - I did exactly the same thing. No complexity - cut the corner off a couch cushion (small puffy one) shoved the egg in, taped it shut. Won by a landslide vs all the other contraptions.
Survived the initial 2 story drop, then a 5 story drop. Then being heaved as high as possible by the athletics coach off the 5 story drop.
Only broke when it got slung around so hard that the tape came off and the egg came out midair.
Long story short - Eggs like being compressed on all sides. You will win drop tests this way.
