Quilter's Dream. Dream Orient has lovely drape and light weight. It has silk, bamboo, eucalyptus and cotton. Has to be felt to be believed.

Hobbs wool and Tuscany Silk are my favorite for lap quilts. The drape and softness of those are perfect.

The one time I bought bamboo batting I LOVED it because it was so soft. Of course, once it's in the quilt, you can't touch it any more, but still. It was so soft!

I love Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 and I use it all the time for my lap quilts. I like it because it's so easy to work with when I sandwich.

I'm a cotton or cotton/bamboo girl myself, but I used Quilter's Dream Puff - seen here - for a lap quilt for MIL who is in a care home. It's super-light and has a decent loft and I knew it would be washed a lot. I also like the Dream Puff for Trapunto

I prefer Hobbs 80/20 and their wool for warmer climates. I just placed an order with Connecting Threads as the battings are 30% off, they have a new bleached 80/20 that I am going to try out.

I prefer all the Quilter's Dream products. I have used their cotton and wool the most but do like their other types too.

Warm and Natural or Warm and White. I haven't tried to many others though.

I like hobbs 80/20 and get it on the roll/ yardage at Joann's. When I've gotten it in a package it's so wrinkly...
