After my post I thought I'll do a little very basic test. I've put a monitor on a large wooden table, no feet, no pad and put my ear on the table. Than I put 1/2" feet under monitor, than I made 1" flat foam base and tested that.
Results were:
nothing - a lot of audible resonance from speaker to the table
1" foam - way much less resonance
1/2 " feet - similar to foam pads but seemed to be even less resonance.
Using a mic on table would be more accurate, one could see graph but I think it's safe to say that anything thick and soft should work good enough to prevent too much furniture resonance.
But I do see the point of buying the pads, mainly because one can place the monitors on angle very easily. So I'll probably get the cheap China ones for $3 and see what happens
