Why new quilt warmer than old quilt?

A quilt feels warm because the air trapped in the cotton or woolen batting acts as an insulator and does not allow the heat of the body to escape. However, when the quilt gets old - the cotton/wool gets compressed and the airspace are done away with. It does not remain as good an insulator to heat as it was earlier. Hence it feels less warm.
