Warm and White batting is very light.
Just my 2 cents worth.
I've spent over 20 years as an EMT and I couldn't agree more. Poly batting melts in high heat - the blanket doesn't have to be on fire. If cotton catches on fire, it burns but it doesn't melt.
And thank goodness your family survived LadyElisabeth!!!
