I've had really good luck with plain white felt pads. 
Sometimes they are 
called "dry ice" pads.   Come in 1/4 ", 1/2
", and 1" thick.  Can be machine 
washed, cost from $10.00 to $25.00 depending on thickness
and dealer.   I 
use the thicker ones alone, thinner under another pad,
often a navaho 
blanket.
Can be cut to fit, including a cutout over the withers if
needed.  I have 
some that are more than 5 years old and still doing very
well.
I use an old Ortho-Flex with out the fitted booties,
separate blanket/pad 
like a regular western saddle.  Everything fits every horse
I've used. 
You may have different results.
