Default Kneeling Pad

OK. This is a strange one! I have seen people starting their engines and fueling them kneeling on a foam pad of some sorts. Anyone know the source of these? I live in Central Texas and the heat of the asphalt is burning through my jeans

I believe you can find them at the gardening section in Lowe's or Home Depot.
