i use a magnetic tray....magnetic parts holder. I can't recall if i purchased it from Sears or perhaps Harbor Freight. It works quite well. On another small section of my bench i have a piece i salvaged from my better half's old yoga mat. I see those mats all the time at the local thrift shop for very little money.

Great idea thank ya sir
 
I use cheap carpet mats from Home Depot. It’s been a while since I bought them, but I think a 3 pack was well under $10. The edges are seamed so it’s not like lose carpet. When I first get them, I flip them upside down and make squiggling beads of silicone on the bottom and let dry. This keeps them from sliding all over your bench, but you can still pick them up and shake them out when needed.
I like carpet because it protects measuring tools, limits parts rolling around, you can drive pins into it, and it gives the slightest chance of keeping a spring that gets lose from disappearing off the bench.
