Replacement Linn LP12 mat

I'm looking for some recommendations for a new platter mat for my vintage LP12.  The original felt mat is a bit worn so I'd to replace it as well as upgrade it.  I'd prefer not to have to adjust the height of the tonearm so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a mat that's the same thickness as the original factory mat.  I'm considering the Origin Live mat which is 1mm thick but I'm not sure if it's a good match.  Thanks very much for your time and suggestions.  Much appreciated!

i had a linn valhalla with stock felt mat for a long time.
the felt mat gave way to an oracle mat, which to paraphrase the late dave wilson, was good enough to see off potential oracle and sota turntable upgrades.
better was yet to come with the record interface mat.acrylic on top of a lead barium layer.
of currently available mats i’d try a funk acromat ot herbies way excellent mat. both are good value products.

why are you adverse to adjusting your arm height ?
