Understanding Quilt Covers

In Australia, a quilt cover or duvet cover is commonly referred to as a doona. These terms are used interchangeably to describe the protective and often decorative outer cover for a quilt. Though the term “duvet cover” is used the least in Australia and is more popular in other parts of the world.

Practically, there is no difference between a quilt cover, duvet cover, or doona cover. Just like a quilt, duvet, and doona all being the same item.

Quilt covers are sold individually or as part of a quilt cover set which includes a quilt cover and two pillowcases (typically, Single and King Single sets will only include one pillowcase). Mix and match with a single quilt cover and complementary bed sheets, or choose a doona cover set for a cohesive look.

Choosing the Perfect Quilt Cover

What is the best material for your quilt cover? It all depends on your needs. Are you a warm or cold sleeper? Do you prefer a little luxury, or are you shopping on a budget? What size is your bed? Quilt covers come in a variety of sizes fabric options, each with a different look and feel. Consider the following when shopping for your perfect doona cover.

Material Matters:

Cotton Quilt Covers: Made with a durable, breathable natural fibre, cotton quilt covers are a much loved staple piece of bed linen. Affordable and abundant, cotton is the perfect all rounder.
Linen Quilt Covers: Crafted with a relaxed weave, linen offers a rustic, natural look and gets softer with age. It’s also great for warmer climates due to its breathability.
Bamboo Quilt Covers: Super soft and hypoallergenic, bamboo quilt covers are a great choice for anyone with allergies, or who sleeps warm. They also have a natural sheen that brings elevated appeal to any bedroom.
Polyester & Blended Fabrics: Known for its durability, polyester quilt covers are a great choice for anyone looking to style their space on a budget and keep their quilt cover for a long time. When blended with cotton, it provides extra warmth and softness alongside durability.
Specialty Fabrics: Looking for a certain texture or design? Try a jacquard or quilted quilt cover or a velvet doona cover. Made from a variety of fibres with a range of aesthetic details, specialty quilt covers bring texture and personality to your bedroom.

Finding the Right Size:

Does your quilt always slide down and bunch up at the bottom of your doona cover? It might be too big. When purchasing a new quilt cover, it’s important to consider the size of your bed and quilt. A good rule of thumb is to ensure that the size of your bed, quilt and cover all match. MyHouse offers quilt covers for all standard Australian bed sizes; Single, King Single, Double, Queen, King, and Super King quilt covers to suit your needs.
