batt

Matted fiber sheet

A batt is a sheet or layer of raw cotton, wool, or synthetic fiber used as padding or insulation.

Quilters sandwich a batt between fabric layers: She chose a thin cotton batt for the summer quilt.

Batts of fiberglass insulation fill wall cavities.

The word is a variant of bat in the sense of a wad or lump.
