The Ultimate Quilt Buying Guide, We recently spoke about how to find the best winter bedsheets for you based on your sleep profile and the weather. When it comes to winter bedding shopping, however, knowing the quilt to purchase is one of the most important decisions to make. The type of quilt, its size, the material, the style, and so on are all important factors to consider before making a purchase. But don’t worry; we’ve got solutions to all of your quilt-buying issues. Here is a full quilt buying guide that has been broken down for you based on its different components to ensure that you find the right quilt to keep you warm and cosy all winter.
Quilt Size
When purchasing a quilt, the first choice to make is the quilt size. If you’re having trouble deciding on the right quilt size, go one size larger than your bed. If you have a single bed, choose a medium-sized quilt instead of a single one, and if you share your quilt with your partner, choose a double bed quilt or a king-size quilt because it will wrap you better and keep you warmer.
Quilt Thickness
Again, check your personal as well as weather variables to decide the ideal thickness and height of the quilt. A lightweight quilt would suffice if you are a hot sleeper who sweats even in the winter. However, if you are a cold sleeper, you will need a thick winter quilt to keep warm. In addition, layered quilts, i.e., quilts with several layers, can be used in severe weather situations. Adding a heavy winter quilt on top of a light quilt gives you the option of removing one of the layers if the temperature changes during the night.
Quilt Fabric
The fabric you choose is largely determined by whether you sleep hot or cold and the weather conditions in your region. Although heavy winter quilts such as woollen and feather quilts may be preferred if you are a cold sleeper or when temperatures are extremely low, cotton quilts should be preferred if you are a hot sleeper and the temperatures in your region remain moderate. Cotton quilts are extremely sturdy, excellent at controlling body temperatures, and ideal for people with sensitive skin and microfiber allergies since they are made of natural fibres and are lightweight.
Quilt Designs & Styling
The aesthetics of your bedroom, as well as your personal style and preferences, are important factors to consider when selecting a winter quilt. Investing in a quilt that matches your bedroom’s colour scheme and vibe will instantly improve the overall appearance of your space.
a) Solid-Colored If your bedroom has bold interiors and too many colors, a quilt in neutral hues will perfectly balance out the vibe, giving it a chic and sophisticated look.
b) Block prints Rajasthani quilts, especially, the Sanganeri block printed Jaipuri quilts are one of the most pleasing designs in quilts and a must-have in your winter wardrobe. benissimo is known for its high-quality block printed cotton quilts available in a wide range of designs.

d) Matching winter bedding A great quilt styling tip is to match the quilts with the other winter bedding essentials. Coordinated quilts and bed covers give a regal look. To illustrate, you can complement this striking Ragini Buta quilt with the matching bed cover from the same collection
