the Q is when you add an ounce of down to a tq how much wormth will that oz add.
For ex. i orderd an 20* TQ and had 1oz overstuff to it so what would the new rating be if it changes

Well it depends on the dimensions of the quilt, but I'd guess 2°-3° maybe up to 5° increase in performance per ounce added.
I would say the above is fair. The easiest way would be to take a look at the amount of down in a 20 degree and that of the 0 degree and work out the differences per ounce.

Doesn't it also have to do with the baffle height in combination with the down loft? If your baffles only allow so much loft, there's comes a point where the over stuff on down is useless, right?
Just asking.
That is true. There is a point of diminishing returns. But how to figure out what that point is, I have no idea. :rolleyes:Quote:
