Why Choose the Right Quilt?

A good quilt doesn’t just keep you warm it helps you sleep better, wake up refreshed, and feel more comfortable all night long. The right choice depends on your sleep style, body temperature, allergies, and climate.

Warmth & Loft Ratings

In Australia, we use GSM (grams per square metre) to describe the thickness and warmth of a quilt. The higher the GSM, the warmer the quilt:

• 150–250 GSM – Ideal for summer or hot sleepers

• 300–400 GSM – All-seasons comfort

• 500+ GSM – Great for cold winters or unheated bedrooms

Loft (how fluffy or puffy a quilt looks) affects warmth and feel too. Some people love a lofty, cloud-like quilt, while others prefer a flatter profile that sits neatly on the bed.

Hypoallergenic & Material Benefits

If you have allergies, dust mite sensitivities, or just want a healthier sleep environment, materials matter:

• Bamboo quilts are naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, and resistant to odours.

• Wool quilts wick away moisture and regulate body temperature also perfect if you sweat at night.

• Microfibre quilts offer a low-allergy alternative to down and are super easy to wash.

• Goose or duck down quilts provide luxurious warmth, but may not suit allergy-prone sleepers unless encased in a tightly woven cover.

Australian Quilt Size Guide 

Not sure which size to choose? Here’s a quick breakdown:

King vs Super King

Super King quilts offer more overhang, which helps reduce draughts and gives a luxe, hotel-style look. Ideal if you share the bed (no more tug-of-war).

Quilt Care & Maintenance

A great quilt should last for years with the right care.

• Always use a quilt cover to protect from body oils and dirt.

• Air it out weekly to release moisture and maintain loft.

• Follow the label — many wool or bamboo quilts need airing only, while synthetic ones can go in the washing machine.

• Use gentle detergents and avoid harsh heat or wringing.
