Collection: Quilt Cover Sets

What size quilt cover do you need?

Match the quilt cover to your quilt, not your mattress, since they can differ. A queen quilt cover fits a queen quilt, a king quilt cover fits a king quilt, and so on. Many people size the quilt up from the bed — a queen bed often takes a king quilt for more drape and to stop the doona pulling off a partner. So check what size quilt you actually own or plan to buy, and match the cover to that. A cover that's too big bunches; too small won't close over the quilt.

Which fabric suits your sleep?

The fabric sets the feel and the care. Cotton is the all-rounder — breathable, soft and durable, with percale weave giving a crisp, cool feel and sateen a smoother, silkier one. Bamboo and Tencel are silky and suit hot sleepers. Linen is cool and casual, softening with every wash. Microfibre is budget-friendly and easy-care but breathes less, so it suits cooler climates or spare rooms. Match the fabric to how you sleep — breathable natural fibres for hot sleepers, cosy flannelette or microfibre for warmth.

What comes in a quilt cover set?

A quilt cover set includes the cover plus matching pillowcases, so the bed coordinates out of the box. A standard set has the quilt cover and two pillowcases; king sets often include larger or extra cases. The cover has a closure — buttons, a zip or ties — to keep the quilt in place, and often internal ties to stop it shifting inside. Buy the set that matches your quilt size, and you get the cover and cases together rather than piecing them separately. Check the closure type if you have a preference.

What we'd tell a friend before they buy a quilt cover

Here's the practical bit. Size the cover to your quilt, not your bed — and consider sizing the quilt itself up, since a king quilt on a queen bed gives better drape and stops partners fighting over the doona. Choose breathable cotton or bamboo if you sleep hot, since microfibre traps heat. Internal ties and a good closure keep the quilt from bunching inside the cover, which is worth checking. Buy on the right size and a breathable fabric, then the pattern.

What size quilt cover should I buy?
Match it to your quilt, not your mattress. Many people size the quilt up — a king quilt on a queen bed gives more drape and stops the doona pulling off a partner.

What's the difference between a quilt cover and a doona cover?
Nothing — quilt cover, doona cover and duvet cover are all names for the same thing, the washable case that goes over your quilt or doona.

Which quilt cover fabric is coolest?
Breathable natural fibres — cotton percale, bamboo or Tencel — sleep coolest and suit hot sleepers. Microfibre traps more heat, suiting cooler climates.

Do quilt cover sets include pillowcases?
Yes. A standard set includes the cover and two matching pillowcases, so the bed coordinates. King sets often include larger or extra cases.

How do I stop the quilt bunching inside the cover?
Look for a cover with internal corner ties that hold the quilt in place, plus a secure closure like a zip or buttons at the opening.
