I have used Hobbs PolyDown and really, really like it. It is light in weight and fairly high loft. However, I would not consider it to be super high loft.
In any case, polyesters offer the highest loft. You may need to layer two poly batts in order to get the super high loft you want.

This may not work for you, but when I first started quilting, I wanted a very high loft, and I didn't want to stitch too much. I bought a ...oh, what was it called....a duvet, I think. And I used it like it was the batting of the quilt I was making, as I really wanted it to look like a comforter. I was pleased with the result, though I remember the duvet was "slippery" and I had trouble pinning it to sew. It would have worked better if I had tied it.
Not much help, now that I think about it. I bought it at Joanne's with a 40% off coupon.
