FAQs

What is the difference between quilts and coverlets?

Quilts and coverlets are both decorative bed layers, but they differ in construction, weight, and use. In general, quilts are multi‑layered and warmer, while coverlets are lightweight, single‑layer, and mostly decorative. A quilt will have a decorative top and bottom layers, with a layer of padding (known as batting), in between to trap the warmth. A coverlet is usually a single-layer cover that works as a purely ornamental addition to your bedding sets.

How do I choose the right quilt or coverlet for my bed size?

Quilts, duvets and coverlets are generally categorised according to the size of the bed they are designed for, so you’ll find duvets and quilts in single, double, queen and king-size options to match the corresponding mattress size. This is the simplest way to ensure you get the right size for your bed. Too large and you’ll have an overhang that can allow draughts to creep underneath the covers. Too small and they offer inadequate coverage.

Are quilts and coverlets suitable for layering year-round?

Absolutely. Both quilts and coverlets can be layered, making them flexible enough to handle those in-between seasons. Coverlets can be removed at night if the temperature rises, and there are different thicknesses of duvets and quilts suitable for use at different times of year.
