get foam padding, cut to fit, and then sew fabric over it.

Lots of places and websites that you can buy good quality foam from for sleeping, cut it to fit (I'd make a stencil out of paper or cardboard first then trace that onto the foam and cut), then just sew your choice of fabric around it (stencil will be handy for cutting the fabric again).

Honestly, I would probably not even cut it to fit perfect. Just a rectangle

I made boat cushions years ago. I used heavy paper (sold by the roll at Staples as packing material) to make a template. To cut the foam, I used an electric carving knife. The following Thanksgiving I cut the turkey with a regular knife... That carving knife still lives in my garage.

My wife did the sewing and made the covers removable via a zipper. It was nice to be able to toss them in the washing machine.
