Summer and All-season Quilts

The difference is fill weight and the temperature range it suits, not the fabric.

• Summer quilt: lower fill and light enough to use on its own in a warm or air-conditioned room.
• All season quilt: mid-weight, warm enough to carry from spring through to cooler autumn nights, and usable year-round inside a cover.

A simple test: if your bedroom stays cool overnight with the air conditioning on, go all-season. If you sleep without it, or the room stays warm, go summer.

It depends on whether your bedroom is heated. 

• Choose winter-weight if you don't run heating or your room faces north and stays cold. 
• Choose all-season if the heating is on through the night — it's lighter, and it carries on working through spring and autumn. 

If your room swings between the two, an all-season quilt plus a blanket is more adaptable than one heavy quilt.

Once the fabric is settled, what is left is size, care, and whether you are using a cover.

• Sizes: Twin (64"x88") is the base size — check individual product pages for the rest, and allow for overhang on a wider mattress.
• Machine washable: the AIR series, cotton gauze blankets and Tencel quilts all go in a home machine on a gentle cycle, ideally in a laundry bag.
• Needs a cover: down and silk inserts should not be washed at home and are made to sit inside a quilt cover, which you can swap by season.
• Storage: dry thoroughly before putting anything away, and avoid compressing it for long periods so the loft holds.

Across the range: the AIR series is the lightest of the lightweight quilts; cotton gauze gives a soft, breathable cotton hand; Tencel gives lasting silky coolness; and the Shaved Ice Cooling Quilt is the pick for immediate contact cooling.
