Foam Inserts for Body Armour/Plate Carriers

I'm looking at a few options for plate carriers and thinking ahead to the armour inserts. I know from talking to others that if you don't put an insert in, you tend to get a "floppy" looking vest.

I know there are decent replica sets out there that aren't too expensive:

This video suggests closed-cell foam from yoga mats or sleeping rolls:

This set gives an option for $18.99

Are there cheaper/better solutions out there? I'm not going for authenticity once pulled out - I just want the plate carrier to look filled-out and be usable, ideally for under $20 CDN.
