help me get warm
#11
Thank you so much for your replies. I'm going to price up the wool batting and the Quilter's Dream Poly. I know how heavy my queen is when it's wet. The clothesline really sags with the weight, I can't imagine a king with 2 layers of W&N. Thanks again. I'll let you know how it goes

I live in WI, too, & I LOVE my quilts made with wool batting (tho it does beard)! Evidently it also quilts like a dream (I didn't quilt these so I can't say first hand).

I made a log cabin quilt out of flannel with a flannel backing and I used Quilter's Dream Deluxe cotton. I wouldn't want a quilt any heavier than that and when it's really cold I use two quilts. I'm allergic to wool so the wool batting wasn't an option.

I sleep under a silk filled comforter (batting is silk fiber) and it is warmer than any down or quilt or wool blanket.
Another suggestion is to fill a quilted duvet cover with a down comforter. Best of both worlds.

What about going to a military surplus store and buying a wool blanket, washing it, and letting it dry naturally and then using it for batting. I slept under those old Navy blankets growing up. They were heavy and warm as I slept in an unheated room. Of course, I needed more than 1 blanket, but they were warm.

I agree.
There are times we have 5 on our bed... It can get cold in our room since we've been using a wood burning stove in the basement and our bedroom is upstairs...so it can be very cool. I often have an extra one on the feet area...
