Type of Batting to use for Pot Holders

I want to make pot holders for Christmas (for my crafty, sewing friends who appreciate handmade gifts) but I'm not sure what type of batting to use.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

There is a batting for pot holders. I don't really like it as I think it's to thin. I use regular batting and I usually put a square of recycle blue jeans in the pot holder to give it a little thickness.

The insulbright works great but for a thriftier version use an old bath towel. Pick one up at the thrift shop and you will get lots potholders out of one large towel.
