Who actually orders 16oz?

Clients chasing the comforter look — deeply puffy, cold-climate, sink-into-it quilts. It's a request-driven batting: studios stock it when "as thick as possible" comes up more than occasionally.

What does the loft demand from the quilting design?

Restraint — dense stitching compresses the puff away and fights the frame the whole time. Wide-open pantographs and big custom motifs let the 16oz do what it was bought for.

16oz or Cloudloft for maximum puff?

Same territory by different routes — Cloudloft is the branded premium high-loft; 16oz gets there on sheer fiber weight in roll economics. Compare actual loft heights on the listings for the specific job.

Frame realities at this thickness?

Slower loading, more take-up per advance, and closer attention to even tension — budget extra minutes per quilt and the results justify them.

Tight weaves only — the heavy fiber content will find its way through loose weaves as bearding; quality quilting cotton on top is the insurance.
