Or, maybe, deerskins used to do it all back in Vedic times, but
now, they've passed on this siddhi to acrylics.
Well it would certainly insulate you from the ground, but from lower
beings? IME asanas (mats, animals skins, various cloths to sit on,
etc.) used for sadhana are more like talismans which collect energy
over time--thus the prohibitions against people touching them, etc.
Asanas also seem to me to be something used and described in Tantric
and Yogic literature, not in the Vedas per se.
