eco friendly batting
Choosing eco friendly batting is one of the easiest ways to make your next quilt kinder to the planet without giving up warmth, drape or durability. The layer hidden inside a quilt makes up a surprising share of its materials, so picking a sustainable option has a real impact on every project you finish.
Popular Types of Sustainable Quilt Batting
- Organic cotton batting is soft, breathable and grown without synthetic pesticides. It is a classic choice for baby quilts and everyday throws.
- Bamboo batting is often blended with cotton for a silky drape and a light feel.
- Recycled polyester batting gives post-consumer plastics a second life while staying lightweight and easy to wash.
- Natural wool batting offers loft and warmth and is well suited to cozy bed quilts.
What to Look For

Loft and Quilting Distance
Match the loft to the look you want, and note the recommended quilting distance so your batting holds up wash after wash.
