Quilts

The perfect quilt for a cosy night’s sleep

There’s no feeling quite like curling up in bed with a cosy quilt. Bed quilts are a great finishing touch to your bedding, while also adding an extra touch of warmth, comfort and style. Quilts come in many different fills and sizes, making it easier than ever to find the right one to suit your needs. Looking for a new quilt but don’t know where to start? We’ll take you through some of the key things to consider.

Quilts to suit every kind of sleeper

Different quilts can be better suited for certain seasons or types of sleepers, and it mostly comes down to the quilt material. 

Cotton quilts are a great choice to suit a range of temperatures. Known for being breathable and lightweight, these quilts are also suited to warmer sleepers and are a great option for summer quilts. A wool quilt, on the other hand, is perfect for those cooler months, offering a great level of warmth and comfort. However, it’s also versatile and breathable enough to be the perfect quilt for warmer months too. Another great choice for cooler months is Alpaca. These quilts are known for their softness and offer a great level of warmth. 
If you want the best of both worlds, our Tencel quilt – Made from 100% Tencel™ fibre, it offers light to medium warmth—Great for year-round use while staying breathable and wonderfully soft against the skin. Responsibly sourced and crafted with care, this quilt is designed to keep you comfortable season after season.

What are the different quilt sizes?

There are a range of different quilt sizes to suit your bed and also how you want to style it. From a Single quilt to a super king quilt, there’s a size to suit your bedroom. 

Love the cosy look of extra bedding? Choose the next size up from your mattress for an oversized, luxurious look. A king single quilt offers a little extra length for single beds, while a king size quilt adds generous coverage for queen beds. The same goes for a queen quilt on a double bed.

Some prefer a neat fit, others like a bit more fabric to wrap around. It all comes down to what feels right for you. Material matters too, cotton is light and breathable, while wool brings added warmth. With so many options available, finding a quilt that suits your sleep style can make all the difference.

Quilts FAQs

Should your quilt be the same size as your bed?

Your quilt doesn’t always have to match your mattress exactly. The right size is more about how you like your bed to look and feel. A matching size quilt ( a queen quilt on a queen bed) will give you a neat, tailored look and provide you with plenty of warmth and comfort. While sizing up can create extra drape and a softer, more luxurious look. Always check the dimensions of both your bed and quilt, as sizing can vary between brands.

How long should you keep a quilt?

It’s recommended that quilts should be replaced every two to five years, although how long exactly comes down to the individual quilt. As a general rule, high-quality quilts tend to last longer. How you care for your quilt can also affect its lifespan, and good care practices include washing it twice a year, using a quilt cover and airing it out regularly to prevent the buildup of moisture or dust mites.

How can you tell a good quality quilt?

One of the most important factors in determining the quality of a quilt is the fibres it is made from. Keep an eye out for sustainably sourced, 100% Australian materials that offer high breathability. One example is our premium Alpaca fleece quilt, made from sustainably sourced, Australian-farmed fibres, which offers a gentler alternative to traditional fleeces, ideal for the cooler months.
