The first layer has a lip affixed thereto inwardly of perimeter and beyond an edge of the second layer. The lip extends transversely outwardly from the upper surface of the first layer. The lip is formed of a strip of foam material adhesively affixed to the upper surface of the first layer. The first layer is formable between a flat configuration and a bowl-shaped configuration. The first layer has a generally rectangular configuration with inwardly radiused corners when in the flat configuration. A hook-and-loop fastener is affixed to each of the radiused corners for forming the first layer into a bowl-shaped configuration.
