Best substrate for leopard geckos?

[lizzard boy13]

Hi everyone.
I was just wandering what substrate you reccomen for leopard geckos?
I did use calci sand because it's easier to clean but now i'm using kitchen roll because it's cheap and effective. I have also used other bedding in the past and was just wandering what is the best to use? I also saw one person using beech chips?
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks everyone

Yeah reptiturf apparently is quite good i never used it as it looks hard to clean, also my leo's had calci sand, but i found it really dusty!! So moved them onto lino..Easier to clean and there is no way they could get impacted off it

I've got a heat mat under the lino and all seems to be fine.
I was unsure about it at first but I asked on here first.

Have a look here at a thread I started, it might give you some help.
