Quilt Size Guide: Find the Perfect Fit for Your Bed

When buying a new quilt, the size is often considered an afterthought. However, choosing the right size can be crucial for achieving a customised sleeping experience that suits your needs.

The standard quilt size in Australia differs from other countries, so we always recommend checking the metric dimensions. In addition to selecting the type of quilt you want (like wool fill or cotton fill), knowing the size is vital as it impacts both functionality and aesthetics.

Benefits of Upsizing Your Quilt

• A larger quilt (such as a super king quilt) creates a more luxurious, fluffy look for your bed.
• It adds length to the sides and ends, making your bed look fuller.
• Bigger quilts are warmer, providing more material to snuggle into.

How to Choose the Right Quilt Size for Your Mattress

1. Single Size Quilt for a Single Bed Mattress

A single quilt is designed to fit a standard single bed. The dimensions of a single bed quilt are 140x210cm. If you prefer a more luxurious drape, you might opt for a double quilt instead.

2. Double Size Quilt for a King Single Mattress

For king single mattresses, a double quilt is the best fit. Single quilts often don’t provide adequate coverage. The dimensions of a double bed quilt are 180x210cm, ensuring a better drape and cosy coverage.

3. Upgrade to a Queen Size Quilt for a Double Size Mattress

A double bed with a double quilt works well for solo sleepers. However, upgrading to a queen quilt (210x210cm) adds better coverage and a luxurious feel, particularly if the bed is shared. Check out our range of queen-size quilts.

4. King Size Quilt for Queen Size Mattresses with Added Height

Modern mattresses with pillow tops or toppers can benefit from a king quilt. With dimensions of 245x210cm, it offers superior drape and coverage for larger queen-sized beds. Shop our king-size quilts for the perfect fit.

5. Super King Size Quilt for a King Size Mattress

For king mattresses, a super king quilt (270x210cm) ensures full coverage, especially if your mattress has added height. Upsizing adds 15cm to each side, creating a luxurious look. Browse our super king quilts for more options.

6. Super King Size Quilt for Super King Size Mattresses

Super king-sized mattresses are best paired with super king quilts. Lightweight or medium-fill quilts are ideal, as heavy options can be challenging to manage. Find these in our wool quilts and white goose down quilts ranges.
