80/20 cotton polyester batting
80/20 cotton polyester batting is a favorite among quilters for good reason. It pairs the natural softness and breathability of cotton with just enough polyester to add strength, resilience, and a touch of loft. The result is a quilt batting that drapes beautifully, holds up to regular washing, and feels cozy without feeling heavy.
Why Choose a Cotton Poly Blend Batting?
With roughly 80 percent cotton and 20 percent polyester, this blend sits between all-cotton and all-poly options. It offers:
- Softness and breathability from the cotton fibers
- Added durability and shape retention from the polyester
- A classic, gently crinkled look after washing as the cotton relaxes
Best Uses for 80/20 Quilt Batting
This versatile batting works well for bed quilts, throws, baby quilts, wall hangings, and table runners. It suits both hand and machine quilting, making it a dependable choice for beginners and experienced makers alike.
What to Look For
Check the size you need, whether that is crib, twin, queen, king, or by the roll. Note whether the batting is needle-punched or made with a scrim, and follow the maker's recommended quilting distance.
