Quilts, Bedspreads and Coverlets

Quilts for nights a comforter is too much

Most people who sleep badly under a heavy duvet do not need a colder room. They need a lighter layer. Quilts give you cover and a little weight without the loft that holds heat, and for a lot of sleepers that one change is what lets the night run through to morning.

This collection is our quilt bedding: light, smooth, reversible, and easy to wash.

Quilt, coverlet or bedspread

The three names get used for the same thing. They are different, and the difference decides how you will sleep under each.

The quilt

A quilt is three layers stitched together: a top, a thin fill and a back. The stitching keeps the fill in place, so the warmth is even from edge to edge.

The coverlet

A coverlet is thinner, often with no fill at all, and usually stops a little below the mattress. It is a finishing layer more than a sleeping layer.

The bedspread

A bedspread is cut large enough to reach the floor and cover the pillows. Bedspreads are generous and traditional, and they can be heavy to sleep under.

Ours is a quilt by construction. People searching for bedspreads or quilts and coverlets often end up choosing it because what they wanted all along was the weight: light, even and easy.

How to choose quilt bedding

Weight first

If you sleep warm, choose a lightweight quilt with a thin fill. Summer quilts should lie flat on the bed. If a quilt puffs up like a duvet, it will sleep like one.

Look at the stitching

Close, regular stitching, such as a diamond pattern, holds the fill where it belongs. Wide gaps between stitch lines let it drift, and drifting fill means cold patches.

Check the care label

The top layer of the bed gets washed more than people expect. A quilt that goes in the machine and the dryer is one you will keep using.

One layer, four seasons

Use the quilt alone over a sheet from late spring to early autumn. When it turns cold, keep it on the bed and add a comforter over it. Each quilt set comes with a matching sham, and the quilt reverses, so there is always a fresh side between washes.

A good quilt is the layer you pull up once and do not think about again until morning.

Questions before you settle in

What is the difference between a bedspread and a quilt?

A bedspread is a single oversized layer that reaches the floor, while a quilt is a lighter, stitched three-layer cover that drapes over the sides of the mattress. Quilts are easier to sleep under and easier to wash. A bedspread covers more of the bed frame.

Is a coverlet warm enough to sleep under?

A coverlet is usually warm enough only for summer, because most have little or no fill. A quilt with a thin fill gives you a wider range: comfortable alone on mild nights and useful as a middle layer in winter.

Are these cotton quilts?

These are not cotton quilts; they are made from a smooth microfiber with a down-alternative fill. We chose it because it is light, soft on bare skin, quick to dry and resistant to wrinkles and shrinking. The full fabric details are under Materials & Care on the product page.

How do I layer quilts with a comforter?

Layer quilts under the comforter if you want steady warmth close to the body, or over it if you want to hold the comforter's loft down and keep the bed neat. Either way, the quilt stays on the bed all year and the comforter comes and goes with the weather.

Which quilt is best for hot sleepers?

The best quilt for hot sleepers is thin, evenly stitched and smooth on the side that touches you. Avoid thick, lofty fills. A flat, light quilt over a breathable sheet keeps you covered while letting warmth leave.
