from the Lee Valley Tools catalogue, but in his absence let me.  I have a 
system very similar to that described:  it is made of compact styrofoam, it 
has little holes into which one inserts soil plugs, and it has a clear plastic 
cover.  It ALSO has some other nifties I like, such as a reservoir for water, a 
wicking moisture pad, and an indicator that shows the water level.  The soil 
plugs rest directly on the moisture pad and so take up the water the 
seedlings require.  The moisture pad or membrane just looks like grey 
unbleached felt to me.  At any rate - it works great and it's less filling.
