Default If you use fleece for backing, how do you bind it?

I have a friend going through a rough patch and thought I'd make a lap quilt to let her know I'm thinking of her. I'd like to use fleece for the backing so that it's extra cuddly and I will skip the batting. Since I've not done fleece before, I'll probably use a good quality polar fleece but avoid Minkee since some have said it's extra challenging and slippery.

But how do you bind with fleece backing? Use the traditional cotton binding? Do you need to cut it any wider to allow for bulk? Any tips?
