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.

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?
Standard delivery anywhere in Ireland is €25, and it is free once your order reaches €100. Express Shipping is also offered at checkout for €25, and it is charged on every order, including orders over €100.
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 of Ireland?
Yes, to any address in Ireland, at the same delivery rates and in the same 5 to 7 days once the order has been handled. We deliver to addresses in Ireland only.
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. Irish consumer law gives you 14 days from delivery to cancel an online order, and this shop allows 15. Send the goods back with proof of purchase, in their original packaging if you still have it, and return postage is at your cost. Nothing is deducted for handling. Email us with your order number first.
What if the item is faulty or not what was described?
That is a separate right under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, and it does not depend on the 15 days. 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, free of charge. Email us with your order number within 12 hours: orders are handled within 24 to 48 hours. Once an order has shipped it can no longer be cancelled, but you can still return it under the 15 day policy.
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?
Euro (EUR), 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.
