Pool noodle = Polyethylene Foam
Here is a site that sells cylinders of polyethylene foam:

(Disclaimer: I have not ordered from this site).
At $8 for one 70 inch length they are significantly more expensive than pool noodles.
I used to do packaging engineering for Northrop. There will be a foam supplier somewhere nearby who does custom shipping containers and custom foam. Find one locally and call them and see if they can get you polyethylene cylinders in larger quantity for a discount. If you mention what it's for I bet they will give you a discount or wholesale price.
