The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Quilt for Your Home

Shopping for a quilt shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. With trending terms like “loft” and “50% down” popping up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But here’s the good news—picking the right quilt doesn’t have to be a daunting task. At Hotel LinenCo, we’re here to help you unravel the essentials and bring the magic of luxury hotel bedding into your home.

Why Quilts Are the Hero of Bedding

Think of quilts as the unsung heroes of versatile bedding. With just one quilt, you can completely transform your bedroom’s style by swapping quilt covers. This makes quilts ideal for those who value both practicality and aesthetics—no need to replace the entire setup if a cover gets damaged or stained.

Plus, quilts offer unmatched warmth without the hassle of heavy layering. Whether you're styling for the cool nights of Melbourne or the breezy warmth of Noosa, quilts can be tailored to your needs.

What to Ask Yourself Before Buying

  • Do you prefer a thick, lofty quilt or a thinner, sleeker one?
  • Do you sleep warm, cool, or somewhere in between?
  • Are you prone to allergies?
  • Would you prefer a lightweight quilt or something with more weight for that cocooning effect?
  • Do you favour natural fibres or are synthetic options more your speed?

The Five Core Quilt Types

1. Wool Quilts

Wool quilts are a staple in Australian homes, thanks to their breathability, durability, and temperature-regulating properties—perfect for our varying climate. Their natural fibres also make them odour-resistant and fire-retardant. With a range of GSM options (grams per square meter), you can find a wool quilt suited for any season.

  • Why Choose Wool?
  • Sustainable and biodegradable.
  • Great for allergy-sensitive sleepers with OEKO-TEX-certified options.
  • Ideal for sleek bedding styles, as they tend to have a flatter loft.

Pro Tip: Wool quilts are your go-to for crisp winters in the Hunter Valley or cool Tassie mornings.

2. Feather & Down Quilts

Feather & down quilts bring cloud-like softness and excellent insulation to your bedroom. Goose down is lighter and more insulating than duck, making it the premium choice. For the full hotel effect, choose a high-down content quilt (e.g., 80% down).

  • Why Choose Feather & Down?
  • Lightweight yet incredibly warm.
  • Perfect for high-loft, plush styling.
  • Naturally biodegradable and eco-friendly.

Care Tip: Regularly fluff your quilt and let it breathe in the sun to maintain its loft and freshness.

3. Synthetic Quilts

Synthetic quilts are excellent for ultimate warmth and affordability. Available in a range of lofts, they’re ideal for creating that plush, high-styled bed look.

  • Why Choose Synthetic?
  • Warm and insulating, even on the chilliest nights.
  • Easy to care for and wash.
  • Great for allergy-sensitive sleepers who need a dust-free option.
