The benefits of a natural materials quilt

Transform your sleep with a quilt made from natural materials. These quilts offer more than just comfort, they bring a range of benefits to your bedtime routine. 

 

  • Personalised comfort: Natural fillings like down, feather, and wool adapt to your body, providing tailored comfort that responds to your movements and sleeping position.
  • All-season use: Their ability to adapt to body temperature and environmental changes makes them perfect for use throughout the year, from chilly winters to warmer summers.
  • Moisture management: They naturally wick away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the night, which is beneficial for those who tend to sweat while sleeping.
  • Easy care: These quilts are machine-washable, ensuring hassle-free cleaning and maintaining their quality over time.

How to choose your perfect quilt size

Picking the right quilt size is more than matching it to your bed, it’s about your personal comfort too. Whether you sleep solo or with a partner, there’s a quilt size for everyone.

 

  • Match quilt size to bed and body: Consider both the size of your bed and your own body size. A larger quilt can offer more coverage and comfort.
  • Individual vs shared quilt: If you share a bed, think about whether you’d prefer a single large quilt or the Scandinavian approach of two separate quilts. This can cater to different warmth and space preferences.
  • Factor in sleep habits: Your quilt size should accommodate how you sleep. If you tend to move a lot, a larger size might be better to prevent drafts. For those who stay still, a snugger fit might be ideal.

Caring for your quilt

A well-cared-for quilt is a key to cosy nights and quality sleep. Follow these simple steps to ensure your quilt stays clean, comfortable, and long-lasting.

 

  • Go for detergents without harsh chemicals or bleach. This protects the quilt's fibres and filling, ensuring it stays soft and comfortable.
  • Shaking out your quilt regularly helps redistribute the filling and prevent clumps, maintaining an even and comfortable thickness throughout.
  • Do you forget to make the bed sometimes? It’s actually a good thing! By airing out your bed linen, you help eliminate dust mites and other allergens, promoting a healthier sleeping environment.
