Well what saddle are you interested in? Most (all?) commercial options come with a bridge.
If you’re DIYing search around here for some ideas.

I really like my tubular webbing bridge.
Tubular can be tied, or sewn, or secured to loops with hardware.
Strapworks sells all kinds of webbing in various colors and they also stitch loops on it in case you want to add a carabiner.

I am lucky enough to have Dutchware very close by and am picking up supplies today at lunch but they also ship, check out their website for AMSTEEL and Samson Rope. They also have tubular webbing but it isn't 1" wide.
I just bought 25 feet of amsteel 7/64 black for $5.50. ripstopbytheroll.com. I'm a newbie too, so not sure it's the right stuff, but I think it is and it's really cheap. Nope, I was just told it's too small!!! And they only have 7/64 and 1/8 inch.

I would be cautious to use 7/64 or 1/8 for your bridge. I know a few have, but me personally, I would NOT use anything less than 1/4 for my life support.

7/64 inch Amsteel can work for hanging a hammock, which is why Dutchware, Ripstopbytheroll, and other places designed for that genre carry it. I use it on my hammocks and it works really well.
1/4 inch Amsteel seems to be the consensus for a saddle bridge. I think there is someone online that makes dog bones from Amsteel, which is basically a fixed bridge. I know I read it here a year or so ago but I don't know who it was.

Amsteel dog bones are very easy to make. I’ve made all mine. Since my first effort, I have purchased the necessary tools and now they turn out looking great.
