Default Two Layers of Batting

I used to be a Warm and Naturel quilt batting girl like many of you but I recently had a revelation. I like a quilt to have a substantial feel, like it's not just used in the summer. On my latest quilt I used 2 layers of Fairfield cotton and I just love it. It's not flat like W & N, but has that nice wrinkled antique look. I've had these battings in storage forever and have never used them because they make too thin of a quilt for my taste. I don't think I would want to hand quilt this and it might be a little stiff for some people but I have had it on our bed for a month now and the stiffness is breaking down (just like a new pair of Levi jeans) and getting so cozy. It's actually warm. I would like to experiment more with this concept using different battings like maybe W & N on bottom and wool batting on top. Do any of you have any experience with this concept?
