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.

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.
