My husband likes heavy quilts and blankets, meaning he likes the weight. So, if my husband said "heavier" to me, I'd use more flannel. I made a 3-layer flannel quilt and it is HEAVY. However, if my husband said "warmer", then I'd switch to wool batting, which is NOT what I would consider a heavy batting. If your husband wants both, then you can double up on the batting. I know a lot of for-show quilters who use W&N 80/20 with a layer of wool on top, because the wool shows their quilting beautifully.
Exactly what I was thinking. In AZ, a heavy quilt is not practical but I do miss the weight of the quilts back home in VA.
