What Is a Quilt?

A quilt is a layered bedding piece made of an insulating fill stitched between an outer fabric casing. Unlike a duvet or comforter, quilts often feature intricate stitching patterns—such as boxed or channelled construction—which help maintain loft and evenly distribute warmth.

Common Fill Types:

  • Goose Down & Feather: Light, fluffy, and naturally insulating. Ideal for year-round use.

  • Eiderdown: One of the rarest, softest, and warmest fills available—luxury defined.

  • Wool: Naturally breathable and hypoallergenic, perfect for those with sensitivities.

  • Synthetic: Affordable, lightweight, and easy to maintain—great for allergy-prone households.

Quilt Construction:

  • Boxed Quilts: Feature sewn-in squares that prevent fill migration and maintain consistent warmth.

  • Channelled Quilts: Long, vertical seams allow for some fill movement—ideal for tailored comfort and breathability.

The combination of fill and construction directly affects the warmth, loft, and durability of your quilt, making it essential to choose a style that suits your lifestyle and sleep habits.

Quilt Size & Seasonality Guide

Finding the right quilt means matching size with sleep space and warmth with climate. Here’s how to get it right:

Standard Sizes:

  • Single – Ideal for children or guest beds.

  • Double – Suits compact beds or solo sleepers.

  • Queen & King – Perfect for couples or extra coverage.

  • US Sizes – Available for those with imported beds or larger-scale needs.

Matching Quilt to Season:

Season

Recommended Quilt Type

Summer

Lightweight down, wool, or synthetic fill with lower GSM

Winter

Eiderdown or boxed feather/down quilts with high loft

All-Season

His & Her Quilts or channelled styles with medium fill


Understanding GSM & TOG:

  • GSM (grams per square metre): Measures weight, indicating warmth.

  • TOG: Thermal resistance rating common in Europe (not all quilts display this).

If you live in a warmer Australian climate, go for light GSM quilts. In colder regions, look for high GSM or luxury blends like Eiderdown Quilts.

Deep Dive: Which Quilt Is Right for You?

Why Choose Channelled Quilts for Breathable Comfort?

Premium Channelled quilts use vertical stitched columns that allow air to circulate while maintaining warmth. Filled with a premium down & feather blend, this style promotes excellent breathability and lightweight insulation.

Ideal for hot sleepers or those living in warmer Australian climates, channelled quilts deliver cooler nights without compromising comfort. The streamlined construction offers a lighter feel without sacrificing loft.

This style is best for summer or all-season use, especially for people who tend to overheat. It’s also ideal for minimalist interiors thanks to its sleek, tailored look.

To maintain your channelled quilt, air it regularly and opt for professional cleaning to preserve its loft.

Why Choose Boxed Quilts for Balanced Warmth?

Boxed quilts feature evenly spaced, sewn-in pockets that hold the fill in place—delivering consistent warmth across the entire quilt.

This structure helps prevent cold spots and is perfect for cooler months. The high-quality feather and down blend offers superb loft, making boxed quilts feel full and plush.

Perfect for cold sleepers, winter use, or anyone in a cooler climate, these Boxed quilts bring both insulation and luxurious comfort.

Keep it in top shape by airing weekly and dry cleaning as needed to retain its fullness.

Why Choose His and Her Quilts for Personalised Comfort?

His and Her quilts are cleverly designed with dual warmth zones—one side lighter, the other warmer—so both partners can sleep soundly.

This innovative solution eliminates the nightly tug-of-war and ensures individual comfort without compromise. Each side is custom-filled for thermoregulated bliss.

Ideal for couples with different sleep preferences, His & Her quilts are a relationship game-changer.

Maintain by spot-cleaning regularly and dry cleaning when needed. Rotate sides seasonally to maintain even loft.

Why Choose Eiderdown Quilts for Unmatched Luxury?

Eiderdown quilts are the epitome of opulence, filled with ultra-rare, hand-harvested eiderdown from the Arctic region. Known for its cloud-like softness and extreme warmth, it’s nature’s most luxurious insulator.

Lightweight yet powerful, eiderdown adjusts to your body temperature and provides incomparable thermal regulation.

Perfect for those in colder climates or connoisseurs of fine bedding. If you want the best of the best, this is it.

Maintain by airing out often and having it professionally cleaned to retain its rare fill.

Why Choose Luxurious Range Quilts for Everyday Elegance?

Our Luxurious Range quilts are designed for those who want hotel-quality comfort at home. Featuring high-grade down & feather fills and elegant stitching, they balance comfort, style, and warmth.

These quilts suit most climates and pair beautifully with both modern and classic bedrooms. The boxed construction provides even warmth without overheating.

To keep your quilt fresh, air regularly and dry clean annually.

Why Choose US-Size Comforters for Superior Coverage?

Designed for those with American-sized beds or anyone wanting extra width, our Luxurious Range US-size comforters offer both form and function. They combine classic quilt craftsmanship with generous sizing.

Filled with high-loft down & feather, they’re ideal for winter or all-season use in colder regions.

Perfect for larger families, imported bed frames, or luxury aesthetics, these comforters elevate your bedroom instantly.

Maintain with spot cleaning and periodic dry cleaning to preserve volume and hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between boxed and channelled quilts?

Boxed quilts have sewn-in squares that keep fill evenly distributed, ideal for consistent warmth. Channelled quilts use vertical seams, allowing some fill movement—better for airflow and warmer climates.

Are eiderdown quilts worth the investment?

Yes. Eiderdown quilts offer unmatched warmth, softness, and longevity. They’re incredibly lightweight yet insulating, making them ideal for cold sleepers seeking a premium experience.

Which quilt is best for hot sleepers?

Channelled quilts with light goose down or wool filling are ideal for hot sleepers. They’re breathable, temperature-regulating, and prevent overheating.

Can I wash Supreme Quilts at home?

While spot cleaning is fine, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain loft and fill quality, especially for down and feather quilts.

Are His & Her quilts good for couples with different warmth needs?

Absolutely. They’re designed with dual-zone warmth so each side suits different temperature preferences—perfect for harmonious sleep.

How do I pick the right quilt for an Australian summer?

Look for low GSM quilts filled with breathable materials like wool or lightweight down. Channelled construction also helps with air circulation during hot nights.

Investing in Supreme Quilts: Long-Term Value & Everyday Luxury

Investing in a quilt from Supreme Quilts means choosing a product that delivers enduring quality, exceptional comfort, and tangible long-term value.

Unlike mass-produced bedding that flattens, clumps, or deteriorates within a few seasons, our quilts are designed to maintain their structure, loft, and thermal performance for many years.

This is achieved through our use of premium natural fillings — including high-loft goose down, duck down, and the highly prized eiderdown — all of which offer superior insulation, breathability, and resilience.

Each quilt is encased in tightly woven, high-thread-count cotton to enhance durability and minimise down migration. Construction techniques such as boxed and channelled stitching ensure an even distribution of warmth across the quilt's entire surface, preventing cold spots and preserving comfort over time.

In addition to performance, every Supreme quilt is made with an eye toward ethical sourcing, sustainable production, and minimal environmental impact. The result is a bedding solution that not only feels luxurious every night but also delivers exceptional cost-efficiency over the long term by reducing the need for frequent replacement.

Whether you’re furnishing your home, upgrading your sleep quality, or seeking a lasting gift, a Supreme quilt offers both the immediate comfort of premium craftsmanship and the lasting assurance of an intelligent investment in better sleep.

At Supreme Quilts, every stage of production — from concept to delivery — is guided by a deep-rooted commitment to care, quality, and refinement. Our design process begins with a clear understanding of what Australian sleepers need: quilts that are lightweight yet warm, breathable yet insulating, and durable enough to perform across seasons.

Each product is carefully conceptualised with purpose, whether it’s a classic boxed design for even warmth or a tailored His & Her quilt offering dual-zone comfort.

In the crafting phase, expert artisans hand-assemble each quilt in our South Australian facility, using precision stitching techniques and only the highest-grade down, feather, or eiderdown fills.

Strict quality control ensures consistent loft, impeccable stitching, and lasting performance. But our care doesn’t end at craftsmanship — we take equal pride in ensuring each quilt is thoughtfully packaged, promptly dispatched, and safely delivered to your door in pristine condition.
