Default Quilt Backing

What type of fabric should I use for quilt backing and where should I get it?

I have pieced normal quilting cotton and used 108" quilting fabric. Piecing quilting cotton can be time consuming and seems more expensive, while the 108" fabrics are harder for me to find. I don't have a quilt shop near where I live so I have to buy online.

I have heard muslin is popular for backing. Fat Quarter Shop and Fabric.com are the places I usually purchase from. Fat Quarter Shop doesn't always have a large selection of backing fabric, and their muslin seems pricey.

I have had many problems with Fabric.com and I do not want to purchase from them anymore. Fabrics not as described, fabrics I purchased before then purchased again when I needed more were not the same color (and these were Michael Miller fabrics!!!), and some fabrics were cut slightly smaller than what I had ordered.

Thank you so much in advance!
