I recently switched to 80/20 batting just because it has a tad more loft than 100% cotton, and is less heavy. I like it alot.
Yep, that's what I remember, as well. Multiple layers of quilts and blankets! Cotton batting is made to be breathable, which helps keep a person from getting over-heated.
I also like to sleep with a ceiling fan, regardless of the temp. What I do, is use a lightweight blanket (poly or acrylic, not sure which the present blanket is), underneath the cotton quilt. If you want a warmer quilt without the bulk of a poly fill, you could also use a blanket or poly-fleece, as your batting.
