Lightest weight batting

Lightest weight batting
I have a purchased quilt that is very light. I'm sure it does not have a cotton bat. I'm thinking that maybe it has a 2 oz poly bat inside, but it doesn't feel like a bonded poly. I really don't want to cut the quilt open to see what's inside yet, but if I get desperate maybe I will. I want to make a quilt with the lightest weight bat, but need some advice!

I find Hobbs polydown and Hobbs wool to be very light weight wise. Wool is drapier from the get go. I find the polyfil gets more drapey with use and laundering. I like both. Obviously the polydown is much less expensive than wool so I tend to use that more and save the wool for special quilts.
