Biological padding?

Designing living creatures is hard, so I came up with a generalized idea to speed up the process in the future:
Biological padding is a spongy structure made of spider silk and filled with either methane or ammonia. It's lightweight, offers protection against blunt force trauma and seemingly circumvents the negative consequences of the square-cube law. It supposed to be located between the hypodermis and the muscle layer:
But is this possible? Is it safe to place ammonia or methane there, or it'd damage the silk or be extremely risky? Could it work as intended?
