The World's Only All-Cotton-Scrim Batting
Most cotton battings with a scrim use a polyester scrim -- a synthetic stabilizing layer that improves handling but compromises all-natural fiber purity. Warm 100 is different: it is the only batting the Warm Company has ever produced where the cotton batting fiber is needled into a scrim that is itself made from 100% natural cotton. The result is a batting that is completely, uncompromisingly all-natural cotton -- the batting and the scrim, every fiber -- while providing the superior longarm-loading stability and structural integrity that scrim-stabilized construction delivers.
Why the All-Cotton Scrim Matters
For quilters who require all-natural fiber content throughout the finished quilt, a polyester-scrim cotton batting is a compromise. The visible batting fiber is cotton but the structural scrim is synthetic. Warm 100 eliminates this compromise entirely. For museum-quality heirloom work, quilts for chemically sensitive recipients, or quilters with a genuine commitment to all-natural materials throughout, Warm 100 is the only batting that meets the standard completely. The 110-inch width provides king-scale coverage without seaming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the all-cotton scrim feel different than a polyester scrim?
The cotton scrim is softer and more flexible than polyester scrim. The finished quilt has a slightly more natural, textile-like hand than polyester-scrim cotton battings. Loading behavior on the longarm is excellent -- the scrim provides the stability needed without the stiffness sometimes associated with polyester scrim products.
Does Warm 100 shrink?
Yes -- 100% cotton shrinks 3 to 5 percent on first wash. Plan cutting dimensions accordingly and pre-wash if precise finished dimensions are required.
What is the quilting spacing requirement?
The cotton scrim provides additional stability, allowing slightly wider quilting spacing than no-scrim cotton. Check the Warm Company's current product guidance for specific spacing recommendations.
