Cheap Mechanical Sump Filter Material?

Or change it more often. I'm looking for something cheap enough to change it every 4-6 months. I've had the same piece in there for over 6 and its about time to retire it.
Is this something that can be bought at any crafts store like AC Moore? I was planning to buying some filter socks soon and didn't think about this sort of option. Seems like it would be much easier to just fill my first sump drawer w/ some of this stuff.
Either that or some quilt batting is easily found everywhere. I went to Joann's Fabrics the other day and got a pretty good roll of it for 8 bucks! Its easily enough to make 6-7 1'x1' filter inserts.
Is it something I would be able to literally just fold over and over on itself like a blanket and lay flat in the first drawer of my shelf? My first drawer has the drop tray underneath it. Would having this stuff laying on the drip tray effect the drip effect at all? This is seeming like a better solution than my previous filter sock idea.
This stuff is great! This is what I just switched from. I prefer quilt batting because it is a little finer material and catches the smaller stuff but this worked great for me for about a year!
