A quilt, which is also known as a duvet or a doona here in Australia, is essentially a filled bag that sits within a quilt cover and lays on top of all your bedding. Its primary purpose is to provide you with some level of warmth. When choosing what quilt is best suited to your needs, you should consider three things; its fill, weight and size.
What is GSM?
Moving onto the weight of quilts, you will generally find that they are measured in grams per square metre (‘GSM’).
Generally, the higher the GSM the warmer your quilt will be - although the weight will almost always depend on how heavy the fill itself is.

How do I Choose the Right Size Quilt?
Quilts are typically always sold in mattress sizes. While you can always go for the same size as your mattress, we always recommend that your quilt be one size larger than your mattress unless you are shopping for a single-sized quilt. Read more about Upsizing your quilt in our blog.
What's the Difference Between Quilts and Coverlets?
While both quilts and coverlets do provide you with some level of warmth, there are some key differences.
To start, a quilt, which is also known as a duvet or a doona, is essentially a filled bag that sits within a quilt cover and lays on top of all your bedding.
Probably the most unique feature of quilts is that they come in a variety of fills whether that be bamboo, wool, down, or other synthetic alternatives and weights. This is why there is a range of quilt warmth ratings as they are made for all different seasons and warmths.
Coverlets on the other hand are a much thinner top layer, which may or may not be filled. Think of coverlets as lighter-weight alternatives to quilts.
Not only are they a great bedding option for summer or hot sleepers, but they can also be added as an extra layer to your bed during the cooler months.
Another key difference is that coverlets already come in a range of patterns and designs, making them a more cost-effective choice as quilt covers are unnecessary. For a more comprehensive guide to coverlets, check out our blog post here!
