The quickest and easiest is apparently the good old "fibreboard" ceiling tile, 4 foot by 2 foot. Use the back to build on especially if the face is textured.
I use a solid wood (monterey pine) single bed head (3 foot by 2 foot) with 1/4 inch cork tiles.

Quick trip to home depot and get a hollow core closet door and 2 saw horses quick and inexpensive! Door is around $18 you can pin to it or use celling tiles or dry wall your choice.

I use a hollow core door that I purchased at a garage sale for $3. For the pins, I glued the cork from an old bulletin board to a scrap piece of 2'x4'x3/4" plywood to keep it flat. Works great.

You can use anything that is dimensionally stable and will not warp. No matter what you use make sure its flat. If you go the hollow core door route make sure you check it with a straight edge. A lot of them aren't flat because the core is really a honeycomb of cardboard. I'm using a table top made of laminations of particle board that is 3" thick. It's covered with a laminate and I spray glued a ceiling tile to the top. The tile is smooth surfaced, it has no texture. It lasted me about 10 years before I had to replace it.
