I love Warm and Natural batting, and hardly ever use anything else. It may not look like it, but it makes a nice, warm quilt to sleep under, but it won't be fluffy. So if you want fluffy, I'd go with a polyester batting.

I use W&N in all my quilts. Its warm, if I need more warmth I use another quilt on top of it. One of my quilts has a heavier flannel for backing and W&N for batting its very warm, my Winter quilt. I agree with what the others have said, 2 layers would make for a very heavy quilt.

I call it "Warm and Naturally stiff as a board." Not only does it get stiff if you quilt it very close but it is so flat it doesn't give your quilting any definition at all. I use Quilter's Dream Select, Quilter's Dream poly or Hobb's Heirloom 80/20.
Try lots of different battings to find the ones you like for the look you want in your quilts.

I've been using a W&N quilt and just this week changed to a wool batting with flannel for the backing. I could tell the difference in warmth almost immediately the first night. It's not any heavier but it is much warmer.
