You might try UFP Technologies.

Five or six years ago when we were living in St. Petersburg, Florida, we  
were asked to make a "bill" costume for a production of Schoolhouse Rocks. It  
needed to look like a huge sheet of rolled-up paper, with the actor's arms and  
legs sticking out and a hole for his face to show. BJ Guyer, who was living in 
 Orlando at that time, directed us to a place in Kissimmee. They're now known 
as  UFP Technologies, and there are several locations around the country,  
including Raritan, NJ.
 
We got a couple of sheets of a dense closed-cell foam, at least 3 x 4  feet, 
maybe larger. I don't know if it was polypropylene or EVA or something  else, 
but they sell a huge variety of foam products. I don't think they're  really 
geared toward small purchases, but by going to their location we were  able to 
buy a relatively small amount and specify the thickness we wanted.
