The Standard Production Roll for Natural Cotton
The Warm & Natural 90 inch x 20 Yard bolt is the standard roll for studios moving from individual packages into roll-production natural batting. It provides queen-covering 90-inch width with adequate longarm float margin, in 20 yards that yield approximately 6 queen-size batting cuts -- enough to make roll-format savings meaningful without the storage commitment of the longer 40-yard bolt.
Why 90-Inch Width Specifically
The 90-inch width provides more generous queen coverage than standard narrower batting: adequate float for longarm loading at queen scale, the ability to cover slightly over-sized queen tops without seaming, and flexibility for throw and lap quilts cut from the same roll without significant waste. It is the production standard that most longarm studios use for queen-scale natural batting work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same batting as the 40-yard and 90-yard extended formats?
Yes -- identical unbleached needle-punched cotton construction. Yardage length is the only difference.
Does it shrink?
Yes -- 3 to 5 percent first-wash cotton shrinkage. Adjust cutting dimensions or pre-wash according to the finished quilt's requirements.
