i prefer needled cotton for my batting. It is comfortable in most seasons for the user of the quilt. My big full bed quilt however, i used polyester batting for one , it was on sale, for two , the person I am making the quilt for wanted a thinner quilt but warm. You get those properties from polyester, that is why winter coat manufacturers use it in their products. Polyester does have a tendency to shift while basting more so than cotton due to the fact it is a synthetic plastic based material so it is not grabby like cotton. I just saw the bamboo batting and have not tried that yet as i am conditoned to bamboo being a tough fiber. I might try some of that on maybe a lap quilt or maybe a wall hanging. I dont want to sound like i am a know it all as i am still learning about fabrics , batting, thread weight, stitch lengths, etc. I would though recommend you read reviews online about the various materials and comparison comments . Some people are purests and will only use cotton. I guess it is to each his own when it comes to materials used in a quilt.
