When I lived in Minnesota for a year I used an old wool comforter my mother resurrected from hiding and it was enough to keep me snuggly and warm all winter, but never overheated, even in summer. I moved to California the next year, and again used that comforter; it was still the most comfortable "blanket" I ever had. I want to try a wool batting when I get around to making a bed quilt for myself.
As for fleece, I find a blanket or throw made of polyester makes me sweaty, and cannot wear poly clothing at all. But son and DIL and granddogs all love their fleece blankies.
