I'd called them up and see what it is and I'm sure they'd probably sell you some. 239-454-1114

Its gym mat. Not the type for the weight room but the type they use in the aerobics area for sit ups. Hustler had it in all their boats last year at Miami.
I stole the idea, bought two 1/2 inch aerobics mats from Dicks Sporing goods and glued them to the bottom (side by side) of my snap in carpet and used automotive emblem glue. Flipped it over and trimmed around the edge with a razor blade. Good to go.
For what its worth, use the emblem glue or do trials with your mat. 3M spray on wouldnt work, spray on silicone wouldnt work but automotive emblem adhesive worked really well.
Makes all the difference int he world after a day on the boat.
If you just want to use the padding with no carpet, they sell 10x10 sheets online.

When were you in an aerobics area or doing sit ups??? 
BTW Keith, good idea putting that mat on the back side of the carpet. I have a couple of carpets that need backing and that mat would certainly give it a nice feel. Is it an open or closed cell foam? I wouldn't want to use an open cell foam for obvious reasons...
