Quilter's Dream...the green one made from recycled plastic. It's a very light green, has excellent warmth factor, good drapability and very minimal (if any) shrinkage so your quilt will not look as crinkly as with a cotton or cotton blend. It's very durable but soft. Check the cost against the others mentioned. It is not heavy, though. I wonder if your relative thinks heavy equals warm? The older I get, the less weight I want. But to each his own...enjoy the search for the perfect batt.

Reminder, many people don't realize how warm a quilt can be. They just think of it as cotton - like a sheet. I think the more important part is that they want it heavy. I know a lot of folks like that 'weighted' down feeling when they sleep. This would make me want to use a W&N rather than a poly.

I am not a batting expert, but the quilts I get the most "warm and cuddly" comments on are the ones I have backed with pre washed flannel.
