Studies have shown that four in every ten Australians are experiencing inadequate sleep. There is a chance that your quilt cover sets could be to blame for this. The quilt covers you’re using can be too hot, too itchy, or too big to make sleep hard to come by. So, the quilt covers you choose can either increase or decrease the quality and comfort of your sleep. Make sure to follow some smart tips we mentioned below for buying quilt cover sets.
At Bedding Republic, we believe that a quilt cover is not just simply a cover for your quilt but much more than that. It can enhance the look of your bedroom. It can make you feel at peace when you’re relaxing after a tiring long day. The right quilt covers can notably make a huge difference for your comfortable sleep because when you sleep well, you feel good and it can improve your lifestyle significantly.
Here are some smart tips that you should consider while buying quilt cover sets:
1. THE SIZE
If your quilt cover is too small or too large for your bed, it’s not only gonna affect the appearance of your bed but also your sleep. There’s no point buying a quilt cover set if it’s sized for a double bed and you have a king bed.
If your quilt cover is too big, it’s going to swallow up your bed and your quilt. If it is too small, it’ll fail to cover up you and your bed and there will be high chances of air escaping resulting in lesser warmth.
Quilt cover sets come in different sizes, including:
- Single
- Double
- Queen
- King
- Super king
While buying quilt cover sets, you must pick the right size that matches the size of your bed.
2. THE MATERIAL
Different types of materials are used to make quilt cover sets. These materials mainly include cotton, polyester, cotton blends, polyester blends, flannel, and different synthetic materials. You can choose the materials based on your personal preference. The quilt covers made up of cotton are breathable and their comfort, softness, and fluffy feel lead to a peaceful sleep.
The natural fibres of cotton make hypoallergenic quilt covers that protect the skin from breakouts and irritations. Our cotton quilt cover sets like the Waffle Pink Quilt Cover Set and the Floral Bright Quilt Cover Set will provide you with the perfect blend of comfort and durability. You can opt for a thicker quilt cover for winters and something lighter for the summers.
3. THE THREAD COUNT
Thread count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads woven together in every square inch of fabric. It indicates the density of the fabric. It is assumed that a higher thread count means softer, more luxurious, and durable fabric. However, thread count alone is not critical to the fabric quality. A good quality quilt cover with a low thread count featuring fine yarn will maintain a lovely soft feel.
Quilt covers having high thread count are more luxurious and more expensive but eventually trap heat and don’t allow air to pass freely. They are also heavier and take many washes to achieve the softness of lower thread count quilt covers. Quilt covers made up of cotton and linen have a low thread count of 200-300. Such quilt covers are extremely soft, light, and breathable to enhance your sleeping experience.
4. THE DESIGN
The aesthetic side is important while choosing a quilt cover set because the design should match the decor of your bedroom. Quilt cover sets are available in a wide range of designs and patterns that allow you to enhance your sense of style. You can play around with different patterns and colours to find the perfect fit for your bedroom space.
If you prefer a simple and sleek design then our Waffle Pink Quilt Cover Set will soften up your space. If you want to give your space a floral feel, you can do it with our Floral Bright Quilt Cover Set. It’ll allow you to make a strong statement and a pop of colour at the centre of your bedroom. You can browse through our extensive collection to find the design that you love for your quilt cover set.
5. THE MAINTENANCE
Like many people, you might not think about cleaning your quilt cover set in process of buying it. You might be too focused on finding the perfect quilt cover set to worry about the maintenance that will be needed afterwards. You must get your hands on quilt cover sets that are easy to maintain and clean over time. Another reason that makes cotton quilt cover sets an ideal choice is that they are easy to clean.
To clean a quilt cover set like the Ledia Reversible Quilt Cover Set, all you’ll need to do is:
- Machine wash it on the normal setting with the normal spin cycle using cold water
- Choose a gentle or soft liquid detergent and a fabric softener for better cleanness
- Air-dry it to reduce the wrinkles rather than sticking to the dryer
So, the quilt cover set that you choose should be this easy to clean and maintain over time.
