Frequently Asked Questions

Where does 12oz sit in the poly weight ladder?

The usable middle — 6oz is thin lap-quilt territory, 16oz is maximum-puff and maximum-bulk. 12oz delivers bed-quilt warmth and visible loft while still handling like a normal batting on the frame.

12oz or 16oz for a puffy client quilt?

12oz unless the client explicitly wants extreme — it gives most of the dimensional look with far easier loading, quilting, and finishing. The 16oz is a specialty answer to a specialty request.

How should it be quilted to show the loft?

Open — the 8" allowance exists to be used; wide designs let the batting puff between lines, while dense fill compresses away exactly what the weight was bought for.

Season fit?

Cool-climate and winter quilts — 12oz runs warm for southern summers; year-round quilts in warm regions do better in cotton or bamboo.

Wash durability?

Poly's signature — no shrink, loft recovery every cycle, which is why heavy-use family quilts lean polyester.
