You might get the 'feel' you are looking by using two battings or I believe there are heavier ones available.
My daughter's MIL made a quilt for her first grand child. She is a tailor. She used shoulder pads to stuff the quilt. Guess she had removed many from altering clothing. My daughter hated the quilt because it was lumpy. But that is a case of using what you have.
