First, be sure that the quilt you choose fits well on your bed. Some people would prefer a size larger than their mattress like a king sized quilt on a queen sized mattress, while others prefer the same size as their mattress. It is advisable to choose a quilt that is same size or one size larger, as a large and floppy quilt will not sit well and be heavy.

The bulk of your quilt is also important. This is determined by the fill count of your quilt – the higher the fill count, the bulkier the quilt. Quilt sets with a fill rate of over 500 is considered to be comfortable and as the numbers go up, 800 defines maximum luxury. Here, it is also important to choose quilt sets which weigh as light as possible but have a high fill count. This balance is very important for a quilt to be able to offer the most relaxation and warmth.

While choosing the fill, you can find quilt batting like polyester fibers, pillow inserts, fiberfill, cotton and wool as well and different blends or mixtures. Many people prefer the coziness of down-filled quilts and pillows. Goose down is the most preferable down, though you can also choose from duck down. Down quilts capture the heat of your body in the filling, an effective way to provide warmth and comfort.

Down quilts and comforters are usually white. White quilts are an excellent choice for bedding, as the color induces a feeling of calm and serenity. You can find traditional white quilts with intricately-detailed quilting patterns or even simpler patterns like diamond tufting, ruffles or pin tucks to create beautiful textures on all white. White quilts are also very well-suited for beach themed bedrooms. You can also choose white quilts and use decorative quilt covers to dress them up according to the colors and patterns of your overall décor.

Use these tips to make your bedroom a cozy and inviting area, where you can unwind and relax.
