50% More Cotton Than Natural -- The Warmest Natural Batting
The Warm Company's description of Warm & Plush is straightforward: it is the warmest natural batting they have ever manufactured. The formula is simple -- 50% more cotton fiber per square yard than standard Warm & Natural, no scrim, and needle-punched to a higher loft that produces a finished quilt with dramatically more cotton warmth and softness than any standard-weight cotton batting. The 90-inch x 25-yard bolt makes this premium batting available in production roll format for studios and serious quilters doing consistent work with the warmest natural cotton option available.
No Scrim: Pure Cotton Performance
Warm & Plush is produced without a stabilizing scrim -- just pure cotton fiber at high density, needle-punched for stability. The absence of scrim contributes to the extraordinary softness of the finished quilt and maintains complete natural fiber purity. The higher fiber density provides adequate stability for longarm use without the need for a scrim, though careful loading is advisable given the weight and density of the batting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Warm & Plush compare to wool batting for warmth?
Warm & Plush is warmer than standard cotton batting but wool is still warmer per unit of thickness due to wool's superior insulating fiber structure. For all-natural cotton warmth without any wool content, Warm & Plush is the definitive choice.
Does the higher fiber density make it harder to quilt through?
The extra density requires slightly more quilting force than standard cotton batting. Use a sharp needle and reduce speed slightly. The extra density is very manageable on a longarm with properly maintained tension.
What quilting spacing does it require?
As a no-scrim cotton batting, quilting every 2 to 3 inches is recommended to maintain structural integrity through washing.
