We just bought a $6 pad at Walmart and cut it into more than a dozen
cozies. Don't use a ridge-rest or other fancy pad; just plain closed
cell foam. The old "blue foam" pads of my youth are perfect, but the
last one we used was black.

Glue it with contact cement. It makes a joint that is impossible to tear
apart.

It seems a waste to make only one cozy from a brand new closed cell foam
pad, but you can also make a butt-pad (I use a double-thick pad!) and
I've even seen people make "tube pillows" this way.
