Description
Pellon 100% polyester batting in a 96" x 108" queen package is the wider of the two Pellon queen sizes. The extra 6" of width covers queen tops with wide borders or a deeper drop, and it leaves comfortable margin for longarm clamping. If your top is 86" or narrower, the 90" x 108" queen package is enough.
The batting adds loft, body, softness and definition without weight: 1/8" loft, 0-3% shrinkage, and quilting lines up to 4" apart while keeping strength and flexibility. It gives crisp stitch definition, keeps the quilt light and easy to wash, and does not need pre-washing. Washable by hand or machine and dry cleanable.
Packages arrive folded and ship to you directly from Pellon; unfold and let the batting relax before layering.

- When do I need the 96" queen instead of the 90"?
- When your queen top is wider than about 86". Longarmers also like the extra width because the clamps and leaders need a few inches on each side. For a standard 84" to 86" top, the 90" package is enough. Pellon Polyester 90" x 108" queen package
- Will 96" x 108" cover a king?
- No. King tops run 108" to 120" wide; use the 120" x 120" king package or the 120" x 30 yd roll. Pellon Polyester 120" x 120" king package
- Pellon polyester vs Hobbs Polydown: what is the difference?
- Both are low-loft polyester battings that resist bearding and shrink very little. Hobbs Polydown is a little loftier and softer with more drape, and it is a Linda's stocked item; Pellon polyester is a thin 1/8" batting that stays flat and is one of the most economical choices we carry. If you want the lightest, flattest poly, Pellon; if you want a bit more puff and a softer hand, Polydown. Hobbs Polydown batting package
- Polyester vs 100% cotton batting: which should I pick?
- Pellon polyester is lighter, warmer for its weight, does not shrink in any meaningful way, and gives crisp stitch definition. Cotton with scrim is flatter, breathes better, shrinks 3-5% for a crinkled antique look, and can be quilted up to 10" apart instead of 4". Pick polyester for easy-care quilts, kids' quilts and tied comforters; pick cotton for traditional bed quilts and anything you want to feel like fabric. Pellon Natural Cotton with Scrim queen package
- Does Pellon polyester batting need to be pre-washed?
- No. Pellon rates it at 0-3% shrinkage, so it goes straight from the package to the quilt and the finished quilt keeps its dimensions with very little crinkle. Polyester also dries quickly and resists mildew, which makes it a practical choice for quilts that get washed often.
- Can I use polyester batting for bowl cozies or hot pads?
- No. Polyester can melt or scorch in the microwave. For microwave projects use Pellon Wrap-N-Zap, which is 100% natural cotton with no scrim and no synthetic fiber, and sew it with cotton thread. Pellon Wrap-N-Zap 45" x 1 yd package
