Description
Pellon white cotton batting with scrim in a 120" x 120" king package covers a king bed quilt in one piece with no seaming, in bleached white for light tops. It is the largest package in the line; for a queen the 90" x 108" queen package is the right size. Pellon does not make a white 120" roll, so this package is also how longarmers get white Pellon cotton at king width.
Bleached cotton is the right choice under white and light tops, where the flecks in natural batting can shadow through. The batting is needle-punched onto a soft scrim that adds strength and stability without bunching or bearding, so you can quilt up to 10" apart. It is a low 1/16" loft that shrinks 3-5% in the first wash for a soft, lightly crinkled finish. 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.

Compare and choose
- Do I really need 120" for a king?
- Yes, in most cases. King tops run 108" to 120" wide, and the batting should extend at least 2" past the top on every side. A 96" or 108" batting would have to be pieced.
- Is there a white Pellon cotton roll wide enough for kings?
- No. The widest Pellon white cotton with scrim rolls are 96". For a king on the frame in white, use this package, or a stocked 108" or 120" roll from Hobbs such as Linda's Choice 100% bleached cotton 108". Hobbs Linda's Choice Bleached Cotton 108" roll
- White or natural cotton with scrim: which do I need?
- They are the same Pellon batting; the white version is bleached. Natural (unbleached) is fine under most fabrics, but under white, cream or pastel tops its tiny cotton flecks can shadow through. Choose white for light quilts and natural for everything else. Pellon Natural Cotton with Scrim queen package
- Pellon white cotton with scrim vs Hobbs Tuscany bleached cotton?
- Hobbs Tuscany bleached cotton is a Linda's stocked, no-scrim 100% cotton with a loftier, softer hand and a 4" quilting distance. Pellon white cotton with scrim is thinner, firmer and quilts up to 10" apart. Choose Pellon for wide quilting and a flat finish; choose Tuscany for a softer, hand-quilting-friendly batting. Hobbs Tuscany 100% Bleached Cotton package
- Do I need to pre-wash this batting?
- No. Expect 3-5% shrinkage in the first wash of the finished quilt, which gives the soft, slightly crinkled look most quilters want from cotton. If you want a quilt that stays perfectly flat, pre-wash the batting gently by soaking, or choose a polyester batting with 0-3% shrinkage.
- How far apart can I quilt it?
- Up to 10" apart, because the scrim holds the cotton fibers in place. That is wide enough for simple edge-to-edge designs, big-stitch hand quilting and even tying, though closer quilting always gives a more durable quilt.
