One reason I like cotton batting is because it gets softer with every washing.
This is what I use most of the time, always presoak it and it's lightweight, soft, warm and comfy. Haven't come across Hobbs PolyDown but want to try it. Quilter's Dream has great batting, a little more expensive but worth it. Not a fan of W&N as I don't like the 'old fashion' look after the quilt is washed. Kid and Baby quilts always get poly, they get washed at lot.
First quilts I made for DGrandkids was over 10 years ago, they had the cheapest poly batting and very little quilting and they have held up without any bunching of batting.
