Um what's better, a wool or down quilt?

I need a new quilt.
I once had this battery with an alkaline problem. I took it to AA meetings.

depends if you like a light & fluffy quilt or not!

i have a wool quilt and it's soooo warm and still quite snuggly!  it's also got weight so it doesn't leave my feets getting cold!

come round and try it sometime!!   brow2

Poll added.

So wool quilts aren't too light? They look quite thin that's all.

not light at all!  they're thin, but they're wool!!  wool is good!

although i must say, it's not easy to drag from bed to the couch like a feather quilt!

target has a pretty decent range AND has sample quilts for you to compare! wool quilts arent fluffy enough for me, i love down quilts which fluff up and get all snug in the winter - i find my doona is really good for the summer too, except when its stupidly hot, cause the down lets air move through. three season quilts ftw!

I love my Wool quilt. Much like the down ones you get what you pay for I think my KS one was about $400. Its plenty fluffy. Box stiched and all of that too!

Support the Aussie Wool Industry!

If you must get down, get box stitched. I used to have a down doona and the feathers would all slip to the sides, leaving me freezing in the middle of the night!

down involves the painful plucking death of fluffy little yellow baby ducks and wool only shears the sheep, so no contest, down it is
