Default Loft Insulation?

Hi

Not been around for a bit so my apols for not supporting the forum as I should.

Anyway - I am currently doing my loft and installing more loft insulation. Had between 20-30cm to begin with and now have 20-40cm.

I am using eco wool which is made from 85% recycled plastic bottles. Lovely to work with compared to the pink fibre wool that was put in by the builders.

Anyway - my question for you brainboxes.

I currently have filled the gap between the joists and then cross laid 200mm of eco wool to stop bridging.

If I put a third layer of insulation down will the benefits be noticable?

Also I have a area in the loft that is boarded with 100mm of insulation below it - does this discount all the insulation I have put elsewhere? I looked at insulation board but it doesnt appear to be that effective.

Any ideas welcome - I want to make my home as energy efficient as possible but have very very limited funds currently (hence the loft being a quickish win)
