    The type of batting you use depends on a couple of factors, price is one but seldom the main one. Most people that I've delt with prefer 80/20 (thats 80% cotton & 20% poly). 100% cotton is good as well because it breathes, and there's Bamboo cotton blend, Soy blend and wool.

    Last of all there's polyester, which is cheapest of the lot.

    What are the advantages of the 80/20 over 100% cotton? Anyone have pros/cons of each?

    Another Warm & Natural/white person here. I also bought by the bolt with a 50% off coupon a couple of years ago. It was at a local Joanns so no shipping.

    I only use the warm and natural too. I was in the store and they had some on the big rolll that was $13.99 a yard and much thinner...i will buy that with my next coupon.
    I priced the "green" batting...read the label. You would not want to use this where a person might be sleeping and need to get out. It is made with recycled stuff and would have fumes when burning.
    Our AC Moore and Michaels and Joannes honor each others coupons too...ASK.
