You could also do 2 layers of batting. I would use a cotton, but can't recommend a brand as I haven't used it that much. Personally I don't like wool anything. It irritates my skin. Two layers of cotton should be really warm.

Wool works great. Thinsulate used to make batting, but I haven't seen it for sale in years. Hobbs makes one that's almost the same called Thermore --- very warm (especially if used w/ fleece backing), lightweight, and can be put in the washer/dryer (just don't use fabric softener of any kind).
