Top 10 Questions About Warm & Plush Luxury Loft 100% Natural Cotton

Q: How does Warm & Plush differ from Warm & Natural?
A: Warm & Plush is higher loft and plusher than Warm & Natural — more dimensional and dramatic while retaining the 100% natural cotton composition. Warm & Natural is thinner and more traditional-weight; Warm & Plush provides noticeably more puff and body for quilts where a richer, more dimensional appearance is desired.

Q: What does "without scrim" mean for quilting?
A: Without scrim means the batting has no stabilizing fabric layer needle-punched through it. The result is softer, more pliable cotton that needles exceptionally cleanly for hand quilting — but it requires closer quilting distances to prevent batting from shifting or tearing under longarm tension compared to scrim-stabilized versions.

Q: How far apart can I quilt Warm & Plush without scrim?
A: The Warm Company recommends quilting every 2–3 inches for this unscrimmed high-loft version to maintain batting integrity and prevent shifting. Closer quilting is essential for the no-scrim version.

Q: Is Warm & Plush the right batting for show quilts requiring dramatic loft?
A: Yes — the high loft and luxurious cotton drape make Warm & Plush an excellent choice for quilts where a noticeably plusher, more dimensional appearance is the design goal, particularly for bed quilts where texture and warmth are as important as appearance.

Q: Is Warm & Plush good for hand quilting?
A: Yes — the no-scrim construction and quality cotton fiber provide excellent needle-ease for hand quilting. The soft, pliable batting compresses cleanly under the thimble and allows fine stitches to pass through smoothly.

Q: Does Warm & Plush shrink when washed?
A: Expect 3–5% shrinkage on first wash from the natural cotton content, producing the antique crinkle characteristic of quality cotton batting.

Q: Is Warm & Plush machine washable?
A: Yes — machine wash gentle cycle, cool water, tumble dry low heat or lay flat to dry for best results.

Q: What thread complements Warm & Plush?
A: Warm neutrals — 10WG1 Linen Glide, 17443 Bone Glide, 20001 Cream Glide — complement the warm natural cotton color through the quilt sandwich.
