What kind of bedding material do you use for Syrians?

I've changed from pine chips (bad bad) to Timothy Hay (too pokey) to aspen for small animals. I've recently mixed aspen with soft granular bedding (Kaytee brand.) I've started shredding brown paper towels (non toxic) and mixed this in because Lucky Louie seems to like it for covering himself to sleep in it.

When I clean his cage I keep the paper shredding as it looks and smells clean and put it back in with the mixed aspen and soft granular bedding. The paper shredding is usually on the top covering him when he sleeps. I thought that might keep him stress free with the familiar scent.

Is there other stuff I could use as bedding?

I want to give LL the best stuff.
