Would buying a sheet of foam and cutting to fit work as well as these? Could do with a good few of them and this would seem a cheaper option, was looking at this site http://www.efoam.co.uk/foamsheets.php?gclid=COjA8b2NzLQCFQ7LtAodyxUAKA and thought either the packaging foam sheet or high firm foam sheet would work like those wintec half pad things you see. Might be a very silly question, sorry if so!
Bit of an odd one, foam risers under saddles

Just had a google and found that, does it end up packing down like padded saddle cloths and going thinner under the points? Or does it stay pretty solid? Also, how durable is it in harsh weather and horse sweat? Thanks 
Fybagee is a good short term option but not sure how well it stands up to use. I work only with Mattes correction numnahs (four pockets so have other uses as well) and they have firm felt shims, just a few mm thick so you can layer and scuplt them.
If you get the wrong foam (and I think this is true to a certain extent with most foams) it could bounce and be unstable, and be very sweaty compare with something like cotton or sheepskin.

Thanks, it would be heavy ish use so maybe the fibregee would end up being a waste :/ Am on quite the budget and they aren't my horses so the mattes pads, as fab as they are, would probs be out of my range. Thanks though
Yes, we recently did something similar and it worked nicely. This is where we got our foam sheet from.
