An 80% cotton/20% polyester batting combines the natural comfort and breathability of cotton with the added loft, resilience, and durability of polyester. This versatile blend is popular for baby quilts, throws, utility quilts, flannel quilts, appliqué projects, longarm quilting, and bed quilts intended for regular use.

The cotton fibers contribute softness, warmth, and a traditional quilted feel. The polyester fibers help the batting recover from folds and creases while providing additional loft and strength. An 80/20 blend can be an excellent choice when you want the familiar qualities of cotton with a little more volume, durability, and shape retention.

Exclusive Halo Loft 80/20 combines 80% cotton with 20% polyester and is Made in the USA. It is available in crib, throw, Throw Plus, twin, full, queen, and king sizes. Quilters Dream 80/20 combines high-grade long-staple USA cotton with fine-denier polyester microfiber for softness, breathability, stability, and drape. Quilters Dream Fusible 80/20 adds a one-sided fusible web, providing a convenient option for projects where reduced pinning and basting are desired. Acadia also offers premium 80/20 cotton-polyester batting for large quilting projects.

Quilters Dream Blend for Machines should not be categorized as an 80/20 batting. That product contains 70% cotton and 30% polyester and is constructed with an ultralight scrim for added stability during machine and longarm quilting.

Use 80/20 batting with baby fabrics for durable quilts made to be loved and washed frequently. It is also a natural pairing for warm flannel fabrics and our selection of baby quilt patterns. Explore additional quilt patterns for throw size, twin size, queen size and king-size projects.
