Quilts & coverlets
The thin-layer family: stitched quilts, woven coverlets, matelassé and floor-length bedspreads. These are the coolest-sleeping covers you can buy and the backbone of any layered bed.
Which thin layer is which?
| Type | Construction | Warmth | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quilt | Three layers (top, batting, back) stitched through | Light–medium | Summer duvet replacement, layering |
| Coverlet | Single woven or lightly quilted layer | Light | Decorative top layer, hot sleepers |
| Matelassé | Jacquard-woven raised pattern, no batting | Light | Tailored, hotel-look beds |
| Bedspread | Oversized, drops to the floor | Varies | Traditional rooms, hiding the frame |
