I believe Warm and Natural is unbleached cotton batting and Warm and White is bleached cotton batting.
Soft and Bright is Warm Company's polyester batting that can be quilted farther apart and is NOT fluffy. I like working with it. Joann's sells it at the regular price of $10/yard in our store (90" wide). Last week they had a coupon for 60% off batting by the yard, which brings that price down to a more reasonable level.
I use the Hobbs charity program as mentioned above for both the 80/20 and the polyester batting. I am very happy with them.

Thank you all for your efforts to help others. I recently heard something that really touched me. They referred to such quilts as "Comfort Quilts" I think that gives the recipient more dignity, don't you?
BTW, I usually use Warm and Natural bought from Joann's with coupons. Some Michael's also have it.

This is a good question...I find batting so expensive. I read a quilter state that the polyester batting is abrasive and wears out the fabric . It acts like steel wool against the fabric. So I quit using it. I will investigate the Pelon brand .
To purchase new flannel is expensive here too. Canada.
