I wash mine in the washer on gentle cycle with just a tiny bit of detergent and add fabric softener to the rinse, then put it in the dryer until it's dry. I only use cotton or polyester batting. This will pre-shrink the cotton. I've never had any problem with the batting separating during this process.
You would not want to get a wool quilt "combed," as that would ruin the quilt! You may be thinking of having washed raw wool carded, which is a process of passing wool fibers through the teeth of heavy tools called "combs," that separates and alligns the tangled fibers. But that process is done long before the wool is made into a batt or spun into thread and woven into fabric used in a quilt.
It might be possible to use a mattress pad as a quilt batt (filling) but it would not be the best option. Mattress pads are not made for frequent washing, and the fibers in their filling would be prone to shift and bunch, distorting the thickness of the quilt. Many mattress pads made today are not made of cotton but of a blend of synthetic fibers of questionable quality.
