Our range of super king quilts and super king doonas ensures you’ll enjoy warmth, luxury, and plenty of coverage—whether for a super king bed or a king bed.
Let’s explore everything you need to know to choose the right quilt for you.
Do You Need a Super King Quilt for a King Bed?
If you want a bit more comfort, coverage, and that designer draped look, sizing up to a super king doona for your king bed is the way to go.
- Extra Overhang: A super king quilt drapes beautifully over the sides of your king mattress, creating a luxurious, polished look.
- More to Share: Perfect for couples—no more tug-of-war for warmth!
- Added Comfort: Extra width and length mean more quilt to snuggle under, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.
Nick’s Tip: For that hotel-like finish, pair your super king quilt with matching super king quilt covers for a cohesive, elevated style.
What’s the Difference Between King and Super King Quilts?
The difference comes down to size:
- King Quilt: Measures approximately 245cm x 210cm. Perfect for standard king beds.
- Super King Quilt: Measures approximately 270cm x 240cm, providing extra coverage for larger super king beds or a more generous drape on king beds.
Nick’s Tip: If you’re styling a king bed, a super king quilt is ideal for achieving that oversized, luxurious look.
What Type of Super King Quilt Should I Get?
Choosing the right super king quilt comes down to material, weight, and your personal needs. Here are some options to consider:
1. Wool Super King Quilts
Wool quilts are breathable, insulating, and perfect for year-round comfort. They regulate temperature naturally, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Ideal for Cooler Climates
- Durable and Long-Lasting
Nick’s Tip: For Australian-made quality, look for wool options from brands like Woolstar Eco.
2. Feather and Down Super King Quilts
For ultimate luxury, feather and down quilts offer unmatched softness and warmth.
- Duck Feather and Down: Affordable yet luxurious, providing softness and warmth.
- Goose Down: Lightweight with exceptional insulation—perfect for colder climates.
Nick’s Tip: If you prefer lighter weight and maximum warmth, opt for a super king down quilt.
3. Thermal Balancing Quilts
For sleepers with varying temperature preferences, a thermal-balancing quilt (like those from Sonar) is a game-changer.
- Temperature Control: Adjusts to your body heat for year-round comfort.
- Ideal for Couples: Balances warmth for different sleeping needs.
Nick’s Tip: A super king summer quilt is perfect for warmer nights, while a thermal quilt can carry you comfortably through all seasons.
4. Synthetic Super King Quilts
Hypoallergenic and easy to care for, synthetic quilts are ideal for allergy sufferers and busy households.
- Lightweight and breathable.
- Machine Washable for convenience.
What’s the Best Quilt for Summer vs Winter?
- Summer Quilts: Choose lightweight, breathable options like cotton or thermal-balancing quilts for warmer months.
- Winter Quilts: Opt for wool or feather and down quilts for superior warmth during colder seasons.
Nick’s Tip: For flexibility, consider switching between a super king summer doona and a heavier winter quilt as the seasons change.
