Looks like Costco no longer sells their down throws...bummer!

I looked quickly but I thought they were synthetic.

The blueridge quilts can be found on the Costco website 2 for 49.99
Can anyone comment on the efficacy of doubling-up two down throws with perpendicular baffles? I saw someone's comment about doing it, but never saw an update about teh results.
I'm wondering about making a slightly narrower, inner bag with horizontal seams intact and an outer bag with vertical seams intact. Would the air gaps at the intersecting corners prevent actual straight-through cold vectors?
Would I be better off making the seams go the same way on both, and forcing an offset between the seams of each?
I think either will work but I think same direction/offset seems more efficient. Even with two, I think you will barely achieve a quilt good at freezing. If you add a UQP, it may help. Even with two, there are many spots that will only have 1-1.5” loft.
Get lost in the woods and find yourself again. A vacation,to me, is working with your hands and surviving because of the fruits of your labor. In the business world I teach;in the natural world I learn.
Thanks for your reply.
I failed to mention that I was talking about top quilts, not under.

If you want to double up, I think horizontal baffles that are offset from each other is probably the best way to go.
Having said that, even as a TQ I think you would see a moderate increase in benefit. The CDT quilts are just not robust enough to get a whole lot out of them.
I do use my CDT TQ and UQ by themselves once in a while, but mainly use them to supplement my other UQ and TQ if I know temps are going to get down into the 30'sF, or even mid to upper 20'sF at the extreme.
