I don't know where to buy them, but they're not too hard to make. I used a standard sewing machine and made a couple from Sunbrella. I had never sewn anything before. Flushed with success, I made a tiller sock and recently completed a new bimini. I would have completed the new sailcover today, but I ran out of thread! Bummer. If you want to try making some canvas items, I recommend Casey's book on sail and canvas work. It's about $20 from Amazon or buy.com.

Catalina Direct sells a very nice pair made of sunbrella for about $ 45. I have them and they're great.

Something that I have on mine that adds a little bit of padding to it...use some foam pipe insulation that you can get from any hardware store. I don’t know exactly what size that was originally used, but put that under the sunbrella.
