Stop Getting Down On Your Hands And Knees
Kneel on 1.6 in of waterproof foam instead of wet stones, then push yourself back up on the steel handles. Flip the whole thing over and it is a seat.

The part that matters is getting back up
Anyone can put a foam mat on the ground. The two steel handles are what let you lower yourself down under control and push yourself back up without hauling on a fence post or a raised bed.
One frame that does both jobs in the garden
Most people own a kneeling mat and a separate stool, and end up carrying neither. This is a single frame you flip over, so whichever job you are doing it is already with you.
Flip it and it is a seat
Pad down, it is a kneeler with handles either side. Turn it over and the same pad becomes a seat at a comfortable working height for potting up, weeding a raised bed or podding beans in the shade.
Handles you can actually push off
The two side loops are welded to the frame, not clipped on. They take your weight when you lower yourself down and again when you get up — the reason people with bad knees or a replaced hip keep one by the back door.
Foam thick enough to forget
A 6.3 in wide EVA pad, 1.6 in deep and waterproof. Gravel, wet grass and cold slabs stop coming through, and it wipes clean instead of soaking up the mud like a fabric mat.
Folds flat, weighs 6.4 lbs
One motion and it collapses to a slab about the size of a large briefcase. It hangs on a shed nail, slides behind the seat of a car, and comes fully assembled — there is nothing to build.
Two tools, one frame
Kneeling is right for planting out and weeding at ground level. Sitting is right for anything at bench or raised-bed height, and for the moment your knees have had enough. Flipping between the two takes a second and needs no catches or pins.
- Kneeler one way up, seat the other
- Seat height suits raised beds and potting benches
- No catches, pins or tools to switch
- Same pad cushions you either way
Built to be leaned on
The frame is powder-coated tubular steel rated to 660 lbs, so it does not flex when you put your full weight through one handle. The pad is riveted to the frame rather than glued, which is the joint that fails first on the cheap ones.
- Powder-coated tubular steel frame
- Rated to 660 lbs / 300 kg
- Riveted pad, not glued
- Waterproof closed-cell EVA foam
A pouch so the trowel stops going missing
The canvas pouch hooks over the handle and has four pockets plus a top flap. It comes off if you would rather not have it. Worth saying plainly: the pouch ships empty — the tools in the photo are there for scale, not in the box.
- Four pockets plus a covered top flap
- Hooks on and off the handle
- Heavy woven canvas with bound edges
- Tools shown are not included
Small enough that you will actually fetch it
Open it stands 24 in long and 19 in tall. Folded it is a flat slab roughly 23 × 12 in at 6.4 lbs, carried in one hand. A kneeler that lives at the back of the garage behind the mower is a kneeler you never use.
- Open: 24 × 10.6 × 19.3 in
- Folded: 23.2 × 12.2 in flat
- 6.4 lbs, carried one-handed
- Arrives assembled, nothing to build
Out of the box and into the border
Unfold it
Pull the frame open until it sits square. It arrives fully assembled — no bolts, no instructions, no missing washer.
Choose which way up
Pad on the ground to kneel, handles either side of you. Pad on top to sit, handles down as the legs.
Load the pouch
Hook the canvas pouch over a handle and drop in your trowel, fork and gloves so they come to the bed with you.
Fold and hang it
One motion back to flat. Hang it on a nail in the shed or stand it against the wall until next time.
Most people end up buying a second one
One lives by the back door and one stays in the greenhouse or goes to the allotment — the whole point is that it is already where you are. They also go out as gifts, which is why the 2 and 3 packs move fastest.
What buyers say
“I have two replaced knees and I had all but given up on the borders. First morning out with this I did the whole front bed and got up off it on my own, twice. The handles are the part nobody tells you about.”
“Bought it for my wife and now I use it more than she does. Flip it over and it is a proper stool for potting up. Folds flat enough to hang on a nail in the shed.”
“Pad is genuinely thick and the wet grass does not come through it. Only note is the pouch comes empty, so my trowel and secateurs went in it from the shed. Sturdy, no wobble at all.”
30-day returns
If it is not right for you, contact us within 30 days of delivery and we will arrange the return. Straight answer on the small print: unless the item arrives faulty or damaged, the return postage is yours. Faulty is on us.
Before you order
Both, and you switch by turning it over. Pad down it is a kneeling pad with a handle either side of you. Pad up it is a seat, with those same handles now acting as the legs. Nothing to unclip or adjust.
It is rated to 660 lbs (300 kg) on a powder-coated tubular steel frame, so it does not flex when you push off one handle to stand up.
The EVA pad is 15.7 in long and 6.3 in wide, about 1.6 in deep. That is wide enough for both knees side by side without either one hanging off the edge onto the gravel.
No. The removable canvas pouch is included, but it ships empty — the trowel, fork, secateurs and gloves in the photographs are there to show the pouch in use and are not in the box.
No. It arrives fully assembled and folded flat. Pull it open and it is ready; there are no bolts, no tools and no instructions to lose.
No. It is closed-cell EVA, so wet grass and rain sit on the surface rather than soaking in. Wipe it down and it is dry. It is also what stops cold coming up through the pad off a slab or a path.
Folded it is a flat slab about 23.2 × 12.2 in weighing 6.4 lbs, so it hangs on a shed nail or slides behind a car seat and is carried comfortably in one hand.
Shipping is a flat $8.95 per order, tracked, from the US — the same $8.95 whether you order one kneeler or three, which is part of why the multi-packs work out well.
