About this product
Memory foam, folded, with a handle.
A thick kneeling pad with a washable zip off cover. Installing edging is a job done on your knees.
Laying a run of edging is an hour or two spent kneeling on whatever is there, which is usually gravel, wet soil or paving.
This is a memory foam pad thick enough that none of those come through it.
It folds, and the straps are on the pad rather than sold as an extra, so it carries out to the garden with the mallet.
The cover unzips completely and goes in the wash, which matters more than it sounds after a wet spring.
Plenty of people buy one and end up using it as a seat pad at a touchline or a picnic.
Knee pain is the reason most people stop a garden job before it is finished, and a proper pad is the cheapest fix for it.
Memory foam matters here rather than being a spec sheet word. Ordinary closed cell foam bottoms out under a kneecap in a couple of minutes, so the gravel comes through anyway. Memory foam redistributes the load instead of compressing to nothing at the pressure point.
The folding design is the practical half. A flat mat gets left by the shed door; something that folds and has a handle actually comes with you.
The removable cover is what makes it last more than a season. A pad you cannot wash gets thrown away after the first properly muddy job.
It is a comfort item rather than a safety one, so treat it as optional if you are laying two metres and essential if you are laying twenty.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under this shop's own returns policy you have 15 days from purchase to send it back in resaleable condition, at your cost and with a $39 handling fee per order. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
Memory foam, which redistributes the load instead of bottoming out under a kneecap the way plain closed cell foam does.
Can I wash it?
The cover unzips completely and goes in the wash. Let the foam air dry fully before putting the cover back on.
Does it fold?
Yes, and the carrying straps are on the pad rather than sold separately.
Will it work on gravel?
Yes. That is the case it is thick enough for.
Can I sit on it as well as kneel?
Plenty of people do, at a touchline or a picnic.
Is it waterproof?
The cover sheds light damp but it is not a waterproof mat. On sodden ground put something under it.
How long does the foam last?
Memory foam recovers its shape after each use. Storing it folded flat rather than crushed under something heavy makes it last longer.
Is it big enough for both knees?
Yes, it is a two knee pad rather than a single knee cushion.
Do I really need one?
For laying two metres of edging, no. For twenty, yes. Knee pain is the usual reason a garden job stops before it is finished.
Can I use it indoors?
Yes, for any job done kneeling such as tiling or cleaning a low cupboard.
Does it slip on smooth paving?
Kneeling weight holds it. On wet smooth paving check it before you put your weight on it.
What colour is it?
Colours vary by batch.
How thick is it?
Thick enough that gravel and paving do not come through under a kneecap, which is the specification that matters.
Is the cover replaceable?
The cover is removable for washing. It is not sold separately.
Can I cut it to size?
No. Cutting it opens the foam to water.
Is it suitable for someone with knee problems?
It is a comfort item rather than a medical product. If you have a diagnosed knee condition, take advice on that from a clinician.
Does it smell when new?
New foam can have a faint smell that airs off in a day or two outdoors.
How do I store it?
Folded, dry, out of direct sun.
How much is delivery?
Delivery anywhere in New Zealand is NZD 25, and it is free once your order reaches NZD 100. There is one delivery service rather than a choice of speeds.
How long does delivery take?
Five to seven days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time while the order is picked and packed.
Do you deliver across the whole NZ?
Yes, anywhere in New Zealand, from Cape Reinga to Bluff, including Waiheke and Stewart Island.
Is there a minimum order?
No. The per metre and per section ranges are sold by the unit, so you can order one metre or one section if that is all you need.
Can I change my mind after it arrives?
Yes, under this shop's own policy. New Zealand law gives no automatic cooling-off period on an online order, so this is goodwill rather than a statutory right: you have 15 days from purchase, the goods come back in resaleable condition at your cost, and a $39 handling fee applies per order. Email us with your order number first.
What if the item is faulty or not what was described?
That is a separate and stronger right under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, and it is not limited to a number of days: it runs for as long as the goods should reasonably have lasted. You can ask for a repair, a replacement or a refund, and we pay the return postage.
Who pays return postage if I simply change my mind?
You do, unless the item is faulty or we sent the wrong thing.
Can I cancel before it ships?
Yes. Contact us with your order number as soon as you can. Most orders are picked within 24 hours, so the sooner the better.
How do I track my order?
You get a confirmation email with a tracking number once the order ships. Items in one order can travel in separate parcels.
What payment methods do you take?
Card payment and PayPal, both through a secure checkout. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never reach this site.
What currency are prices in?
New Zealand dollars, and that is what your card is charged.
Do you sell to trade or in bulk?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote page with the lengths and quantities you need and we will come back with a price.

Nothing in this range is cut to a customer's measurement before it ships: the sections are supplied whole and the customer trims them if a shorter run is needed. New Zealand law gives no change-of-mind cancellation right on an online order, so what covers a change of mind here is this shop's own 15 day returns policy rather than a statute. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 covers faulty, unsafe or misdescribed goods separately, and nothing in the returns policy limits it.
