Shredded tires if you can get it. Old tires are free at most tire shops.

Except for the special filling, this is the best you can find

i have clothes and rags in mine with a tube of sand and a sand bag in the middle for weight in my thai heavy bag and the bottom feels hard as hell as it is, nevermind sand lol
I put a sandbag in the middle and made sure to put rags all around it along with a tube of sand, its great and isn't rock hard, but isn't soft at all either...
