Coverlets

Coverlets are a lighter layer for your bed, ideal for warmer nights, seasonal layering and adding a little more colour or texture to your bedroom. A coverlet is much lighter than a comforter, a coverlet gives your bed a finished look without the same warmth or bulk. Use one over your sheets in summer, add it to your bedding when the weather cools, or fold it across the end of the bed for an easy change of style.

Morgan & Reid coverlets are quilted, machine washable and come in sets with matching pillow shams, making it easy to bring the look together. Their flatter profile sits neatly on the bed, whether you prefer everything tucked and tidy or a more relaxed drape.

How to use a coverlet through the seasons

In spring and summer, a coverlet works well over a sheet set when you want some coverage but a comforter feels too warm. Keep it pulled up on cooler evenings or fold it back when the nights get warmer.

In autumn and winter, use your coverlet as an additional layer over your comforter. It adds another layer of warmth while bringing a different texture or pattern to the bed. You can also keep it folded at the foot of the bed, ready to pull up when you need it.

Find your coverlet style

Our range includes different textures and designs, so you can choose something that suits your bedroom and the way you like to style it.

The Stitch Coverlet brings extra detail through its quilted pattern. It’s an easy way to add interest if you prefer texture over print.

For a patterned bed, the Floral Coverlet introduces a classic floral design. Pair it with plain sheets to let the print stand out, or choose coordinating colours for a softer, layered look.

For those who prefer texture over print, the Crinkle Box Coverlet Set adds interest through its soft white colour, crinkled surface and oversized box stitching. The lightweight design brings a relaxed feel to the bed and pairs easily with plain or patterned sheets. Use it as your main layer in warmer months, or fold it over the end of your comforter to add texture to your bedroom throughout the year. Matching pillowcases carry the same crinkle texture for a coordinated finish.

Coverlet or comforter?

The main difference is warmth and thickness. Comforters are warmer and fluffier, while coverlets are thinner and sit flatter on the bed. If you tend to feel warm at night or want something lighter for summer, a coverlet is worth considering. If you prefer more warmth and loft, a comforter may suit you better.

You can also have both and switch between them as the seasons change. Finish your bed with coordinating sheet sets and pillowcases to create a combination that feels like you.
