What are the best nesting pads to use?

[Jesus loves me]

Hello! I was wondering if any of you have recommendations for nesting pads. I would like ones that last long and are thicker and better quality! Thank you!!

There are several good pads and general material. I've used almost all of them.
My go to pads are the excelsior ones. Basically they are shredded aspen wood. They are soft and fairly thick. While not washable, if an egg gets broken in one, you can grab the mess and a handful of the excelsior and discard it with still enough material left to resemble a nest pad.

Hi! Thank you! Would you mind sharing the link to the one you get? Thank you again for your help!

Several companies sell them. Let me see if I can find an old receipt.
I think this is the one I bought.

There are thinner ones used for lining shipping boxes to mail live birds. Those are not the ones you want for nest boxes.

We use the same type as @ChickenCanoe.s for brand, I can never remember, and sometimes I'll accidentally get the thinner ones. Those get ripped up pretty quickly, we add roost refresh or shavings if that happens, and the girls seem content.
