A layered pad and a process for making a layered pad are provided. The pad includes an intermediate layer with a predetermined shape, the intermediate layer having a closed construction a topping layer overlying one side of the intermediate layer, and a floor layer overlying an opposite side of the intermediate layer. One or both of the topping layer and the floor layer has a substantially non-skid surface portion facing away from the intermediate layer. A securing arrangement maintains the topping layer and the floor layer at a maximum predetermined spacing from one another as measured along a line passing through the intermediate layer and intersecting the topping layer and the floor layer.
