I have picked up packaged batts occasionally when they were on sale, or when I wanted to try a different type of batting. But my preference is for the big rolls of batting. I use primarily W&W or W&N from the Warm Company, as well as their Soft & Bright, and Warm & Plush but I also keep a roll of black batting on hand, as well as a couple of others. They do take up space. Luckily my home has a 2-car garage where I park, as well as a 1-car garage that I use for storage. Right now, though, the opened rolls of batting are in a spare bathroom that was never used.
