I would recommend putting a layer of Quilters Dream Select and then placing their Dream Wool on top of that. You will have a puffier look than just the wool but the quilt will still breathe. For myself, I find poly to be very hot because it doesn't breathe. I have laundered quilts in the washer on gentle with regular spin cycle made with Quilters Dream wool and not had any bearding. Bearding means fine little threads of the batting fiber work through the fabric of the quilt.
