If
you want to get the utmost softness, loft and warmth, then nothing
can be a great option than a superior quilt. Synthetic quilts are
considered as an easy-care and fairly cheap option, but they do not
give other advantages of natural fills. At present, the wool quilts
are gaining too much popularity – as they are pure or blended with
other organic materials. If you are a sensitive person and allergic
to house grime mites, then you need to think about buying bedding
that can be easily washed more often and dry-cleaned. You can also
consider buying a dust-mite proof cover for your Queen Quilts.
There
are a few producers or maker who make blankets or quilts for couples
who have unlike warmth needs, where both the sided of quilts are
prepared of different fabrics (for example, wool and cotton) or have
fillings with different warmth and weight factors. Well, whatever
your requirements are, there are several important things to bear in
mind whenever you go to shop for quilts. Below is the checklist that
you should follow before making a purchase -
Take
the measurements
It
is very important to take the measurement of your bed before buying a
quilt. A few manufacturers cut the corners by piecing together a
blend of sizes like Full/King or Queen. Well, the most common sizes
of quilts are: king: 240cmx210cm, queen: 210cmx210cm; double:
180x210cm, and single: 140cmx210cm. Good quality quilts are prepared
particularly for every size of the bed and will be labeled with the
size of the finishing. You need to evaluate this with the size of
your bed. Also, remember that, quilts tend to be longer and wider as
compared to the most mattresses, hence remember that if you are
thinking about purchasing a quilt which is bigger than your mattress.
Filling
Usually,
quilts are filled with polyester batting covers. The filling loft
will decide the size of the quilt plus the ability of the insulating.
Quilting or sewing patterns aids to protect the filling within the
quilt and aids it remains evenly scattered. A polyester or wool quilt
seems crisp and smooth, even if you have lain or sat on it, however
a down quilt required some fluffing up. Cotton
quilt is
lightweight and is said to be best for warmer temperatures. Also,
Tencel quilt is filled with all organic eucalyptus material that has
been extracted from trees.
Look
for Details
You should also seek details
that contributes to the designer appearance, for example, contrasting
borders, buttons, ruffles, fringes, welting etc.
But,
if you employ your quilt as comforters then you need to ensure that
any ruffles, ties, and buttons are placed away from the blanket top
as well as your face when you fall asleep.
Versatility
Last
but not the least; you need to choose the quilt that is versatile.
The majority of quilt is created with contrasting material on both
sides. You can make use of this feature to obtain a winter and summer
appearance of your bed simply by overturning the quilt.
