The disks you'll want are variously sold as "DS/DD", "Double Density", "Low Density", or "720k", and floppydisk.com does indeed sell them.
(The 128k will only use one side of them and the standard Mac format is 400k per side instead of the 360k standard for DOS.)
Back in the day there were specific single-sided 3.5" floppy disks and I vaguely recall they can sometimes be identified by slight variances in the shape of the case and/or shutter from the standard double-sided variety (which I don't think was fully standardized until sometime in 1985), but the 128k works fine with any low/double density disk.
