this is Tritons new pads, picture from Stoneleigh.
A little to pricey for me.

I made mine from camping mat. Decatlon do it with a silver surface in several thickness'. I cut it to the shapes I wanted and used self adhesive
velcro to attach it. The adhesive didn't want to stick to the foam so I gave it a bit of help with some PU.
Best picture I've got...

I asked her this very question and IIRC the answer was that the shapes were cut from a foam mecahnic's pad (or whatever it is called - the thing
you can put on the ground when you are lying under a car) which had been split to 0.5" thick by separating the layers with an electric carving
knife 
I used black (=v. dark grey) camping mat off ebay - about £7 a roll I seem to remember and cut to size. On the driver's side I made a lumbar
support by putting an extra thickness in the lower 1/3 of the back, behind the facing.

They are made in leather by a craftsman so not cheap vinyl, damn comfy they are too.
