You were born with a fine pair!
But nowadays, the next pair costs around $40,000 a pop.
For each knee.
Knee Surgery is Expensive
People spend hundreds on shoes, massages, gym memberships, yoga mats, supplements — yet when it comes to kneeling, they grab the cheapest foam pad and hope for the best. Knees are the one body part we never protect. But a kneeler is as essential as sunscreen.
But your knees don’t run on hope. They run on support, alignment, and protection.
You don’t think about sunscreen until you burn. And you don’t think about your knees until they start hurting… Usually by then, the damage is already happening. You need a bit of ‘gold’.
Your Knees Sometimes Absorb Up to 2.5× Your Body Weight. Every time you kneel or squat, your knees take an enormous load — up to 2.5 times your body weight. If you weigh 70kg, that’s around 175kg of compressive force on your joints.
Now ask yourself:
Do you really trust a ‘bargain’ foam pad with that job?
Memory foam collapses quickly, stays dented, and transfers the pressure straight into your joints.
What you need is gold! And for our thousands of customers out there, for them their Kneepal is pure gold.
Why Most Kneelers Fail
Most kneelers are made either from foam, basic memory foam (which stays flat and never rebounds)
Or, flimsy rubber that tears, or softer plastics masquerading as “support”
Once the structure breaks down, you’re back to kneeling on the ‘floor’ again.
Kneepal is Different.
At HUDU, it was quality all the way. No memory foam that collapses. No cheap EVA that flakes. No materials that melt, fade, or fall apart the moment real life happens.
Our products are made from a robust, UV-stabilised, cross-linked polyurethane elastomer — a seriously durable material normally found in industrial safety gear and high-impact environments. In other words: it’s built for life, not for landfill.
It doesn’t care about the weather.
Thanks to its UV-inhibitors and polyether chemistry, it won’t crack, crumble, or go brittle — even if you leave it in the sun or in the back of the car for weeks.
It bounces back. Every time.
The internal structure is cross-linked and closed-cell, which is a fancy way of saying:
no dips, no dents, no sad flat spots. The shape you bought is the shape it keeps.
It’s strong. Properly strong.
High tensile strength means it won’t tear, split or give up on you, even after years of everyday use. Kids, gardening, knees, chaos — bring it on.
It doesn’t absorb anything gross.
Because it’s closed-cell, it doesn’t drink water, sweat, spills, or mystery liquids. It wipes clean in seconds and goes right back to work.
It stays comfortable in hot or cold.
It keeps its feel from –20°C to +60°C, so no weird hardening in winter and no floppy meltdown in summer.
Cheap Pads Lead to Real Injuries
When support fails, the body pays for it. Poor kneelers strain:
The patella (kneecap)
The bursa (your natural cushioning)
The tendons that stabilise your knee
Which can lead to:
Bursitis
Inflammation
Sharp kneecap pain
Long-term tenderness
Hip and lower-back issues from compensating
Kneepal is ergonomically engineered to cradle, not merely cushion, the knee — reducing stress instead of shifting it elsewhere.
Athletes and Sports People Often Suffer with Knee Pain in Later Life
Flat Pads Aren’t Designed for Human Knees.
Flat squares of foam are not kneelers. They don’t consider how a knee bends. A tumble, and up you get. Gardening for hours, feel a bit sore after? Knees can be resentful 😕
The Story Behind Kneepal
Twelve years ago, Ingrid — a hands-on grandmother who loved her bathtime with the grandkids, loved her gardening, but hated kneeling. She refused to settle for any more flimsy foam pads. She wanted durability, comfort, and real support. With aid from a chiropractor, she designed her Kneepal.
Business advisors told her it would be “too expensive” and “not competitive.” She made it anyway. Today we stand behind a ten year guarantee, thanks to Ingrid.
Today, more than 20,000 Kneepals are being used across:
The UK, Europe, Australia, South Africa. And even the Middle East.
In those early days, trade shows helped spread the word (“If you kneel, you deal!”), and today, social media opened the doors to a global market.
Turns out people everywhere hate kneeling — and appreciate the quality and comfort in every Kneepal.
Weeks ago we launched officially in the USA, a long haul, but we’re there!
Cheap Pads Always Prove Expensive in the Long Run
Budget pads:
- Flatten quickly
- Tear
- Absorb moisture
- Develop “that smell”
- Need constant replacing
By the time you’ve bought three or four, you’ve already spent more than the cost of a Kneepal — with none of that wonderful Kneepal comfort.
Cheap isn’t cheap. In fact it can be hazardous.
Think Sunscreen: Prevention Beats Repair
Sunscreen prevents damage you can’t undo later. Good knee protection works the same way.
Once cartilage wears down or inflammation sets in, for most, there is no “buy a new pair” option.
Proper support prevents:
Stress
Strain
Micro-injuries
Misalignment
Chronic pain
An ergonomic kneeler is not a luxury — it’s protection.
The Bottom Line
Your knees deserve more than a slab of foam rubber. They deserve engineered support built for real comfort, real alignment, and long-term wellbeing.
