    Poly doesn't breathe, just holds in the heat, so a single layer of it is warmer than wool...but it makes my DH sweat! Need to make one with wool on his side and poly on my side!!! Two layers of batting isn't difficult to longarm...just not 2 layers of thick poly - makes the hopping foot drag the top, creating wrinkles.

My old bedroom was so cold I used an electric blanket besides the quilt.
    I used 2 layers of warm and white on a quilt that I made my son and he loves it! He says it's quite warm and he likes that it feels heavier. I did some fairly heavy machine quilting and it was real easy to do.

    just like insulation for the home...the more you compress the quilt's "insulation", the less warm it will be.

    Two layers of batting would make it very difficult to wash in my opinion.

    Wool or silk is what I have heard for warmth. and not quilted very heavily so the loft stays!
