My first quilt that I made I didn't know a thing about batting and bought what the package said "batting for quilts". It was a very high loft and I didn't like it at all. Made the quilt too puffy looking. Now I usually use Warm and Natural or lately I have been using Hobbs 80/20. I did make a quilt for one of my granddaughters and used wool batting and that was nice too as she lives in a cold climate in the winter and it is nice and warm. I guess it is trial and error and personal preference. Good luck to you on your decision.
