They claim it to be a higher loft but I have never used it nor even seen a sample of it.

If you want fluffy go with a higher loft poly like poly down, Fat Batt, Quilters Dream Puff or Quilters dream Deluxe loft poly. Wool is also very fluffy but also very spendy.
I got a whole roll of wool batting when I had a 40% off coupon from Hancock's & I love it! It does beard but it just is a dream to sleep under! I highly reccommend it!
