Batting question

Hi
Can anyone tell me what type of batting this is? ( The blue one is my sample test after washing)
I live in rural Japan and making bed quilts it is difficult to find large/ any ! batting .My nearest place just had one type of the usual foamy 1/4 inch thick polyester batting just 39" wide. Anyway I drove into the nearest town and at a large shop they had just 3 rolls!
Just one was 60 " bit grubby at edges and reduced to half price! But it was thin and had a kind of 'backing' on it. From what I understood the woman said it was polyester and they use it in factories -it had a kind of 'border with no fluff on the underside) , maybe to put on the machine rollers?
Anyway I got my 6 yards and came home. Today I did a trial sample to see, and really liked it. the fabric kind of 'stuck' to it so even if I turned it upside down it stayed in place- so happy as that may eliminate too much expensive spray basting or pinning !!!
It quilted up really nice , and I even washed a piece of the batting and it did not flake off, or clump.
Can anyone tell me what this type of backed batting is called? and what you think of it?
To tell the truth I was so happy to find such a wide batting, also so cheap I rang the shop and asked them to reserve the rest of the huge bolt for me! Going in later this week to get it. No batting worries for several years. ( now I just need to get a 'stash' together and I am all set!
