I had the same problem. I'm from the US and they are quite plush, curved and foamy there. I saw some cheap looking ones at Eugene Club but wound up buying one at Jacadi. It's not as curved but with the soft cover it's soft. It's very pretty though the cover is a pain to wash. My baby LOVES it. We use it not only as a changing pad but when we're watching TV or reading in bed and it's not quite time for her to sleep, we'll put her on the pad, on the bed. If we just put her on the bed, it's too soft and she doesn't like it. I just had one sent to my house in San Diego rather than the curved one I got from Pottery Barn Kids since she likes it so much.
