WOOL OR SILK……Hobbs makes wonderful wool batting that can be machine washed, and does not need to be densely quilted……I used their wool in the quilt I did for my Brother and SIL last year……they heat their entire 3 story Victorian house with the fireplace (no insert) in their living room - so bedrooms get cold……but they love their quilt and say they have a thin cotton blanket over the sheet and under the quilt, and need nothing else.

Buy her an electric mattress pad. My sister sent me one for Christmas and I love it!! Even DH likes it. We heat with wood and it's a blessing to crawl into a warmed bed. I will say I love the heavyness of blankets in the winter, so the more I have, the better I sleep. And yes I wear an oversized pair of socks as well to keep my feet warm for which hubby is thankful.

This has nothing to do with batting........but I was given a corn filled 13 x 16 filled sack that you heat in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.....what a blessing! The other night I couldn't get to sleep even though my electric blanket was up on 2. I heated that bag and put it at my feet [yes, I sleep with soxs on] and in a short time I was fast asleep! I've been doing that every night now before I go to bed and I sleep much better.
I'm making some for gifts with white rice filling instead of the corn as that is what I have.
