What do you like the best?
I haven't used Hobbs 100% cotton, but do use Mountain Mist Blue Ribbon 100% cotton. Warm and Natural is needlepunched through a scrim, making it super-stable (but with a slightly stiffer drape than battings without a scrim). MMBR is not needlepunched and does not have a scrim; the Hobbs may be similar. Quilter's Dream is a 100% cotton batting that is needlepunched, but not through scrim. It is more stable than MMBR but not as stable as WnN.

I love using 100% cotton because cotton gets softer with every washing. The softness and drape actually get better year after year because of this.
