I have doubled up using warm & natural on the bottom and low loft poly on the top. It gives more height to the area's plus its warmer. When its washed the crinkles do not lay flat they stay more puffed. I really like this effect.

If you want a sample of Quilter's Dream Puff, I think Quiltbug.com offers free batting samples from the "quilter's dream" line. The samples come stapled all on one pamphlet, and are small, but at least it would give you a little bit of a feel for it.

Our Linus group uses a high loft poly batting and I find it very difficult to quilt even on my Mega Quilter. But it does make wonderfully soft, fluffy quilts for the children. Have fun with it. Maybe you can do a test on a sandwiched piece before you quilt the entire quilt.
