Default Batting for white quilt

I have a couple quilt tops I have finished. I need to get batting for them and take them to the longarmer. I want the white to stay bright and not be dulled by off color batting. What do you recommend as batting for a white quilt?

I think most of my friends go for Warm and White. I usually use poly batts anyway, you might look at Soft & Bright.

I use Warm & White. I love the feel and color it is perfect IMHO.

I mostly use polyester batting, hi-loft. Not making white background quilts much anymore.

I too use warm and white for any quilt that has a lot of white in it.

If you want a little loft in your quilt, I like the Hobbs Heirloom white batting.

for a quilt with a lot of white I use the Soft & Bright (which is my go-to anyhow) but I think it really shines for white quilts and it's got a touch more loft than W&N or W&W.
