How about any camping supply store (or discount store) that sells closed 
cell sleeping mats?  Comes in 1/8 and 1/4 inch thickness. That's where I've 
found what I wanted and found it at a reasonable price (Academy sporting
goods).  Want thicker?  Go to the excercise equipment area of just about 
any discount store and look for work-out floor mats.  I've also seen pool 
float mats made of closed cell.  These are really thick.  But I prefer to 
layer the sleeping mats for desired thickness.  Nice to have as extra
padding under my heels when I paddle.

Cheers,

Jackie
