Looking for a Close-Up mat

Hi, need a little help here.

I'm looking for a mat / pad for Close-Up work, and I wonder, can anyone offer any hints / recommendations as to what brand / type is good.

I've seen ones on Ebay and Amazon, and various websites, but have no frame of reference as to what i should be looking for.

I'm a beginner, and need it primarily for practice.

Thanks!

Haven't tried it myself, but this sounded interesting to play with before upgrading to a proper one. Not sure if you have these in the UK or a store similar though.

3 sizes - 2mm, 3mm, 5mm. For the price I would just get one of each and experiment with them. If you do would love to hear your opinion for a mat on the super cheap
