What are the Peculiarities of a Quilt and a Coverlet?

Modern manufacturers offer many types of blankets for your comfortable sleep. Comforters, duvets, quilts, coverlets, throw blankets can be found in an assortment of bedding stores. Some bedding we use only in the cold season. Others, such as a quilted quilt cover set, can be used throughout the year. What are their functional differences? Do we need to buy blankets of all kinds? Maybe there is some kind of universal cover that will replace many others?

The Variety of Blankets

There are so many types of blankets due to the fact that they solve different tasks:

• in winter, you need a warm multi-layered quilt or comforter that will reliably keep you warm throughout the night
• in the summer, a light throw blanket is needed for romantic evenings in the fresh air
• if you like to watch TV covered with a light blanket, doing this with a large comforter will be inconvenient
• if you want to decorate your sofa with a coverlet that can also be used for daytime naps, you can choose a chunky knit blanket

The Principle of Manufacturing Quilts

It has been known for a long time that if you need to keep your body warm, you need to dress in layers. The same rule applies to manufacturing quilts. If you want to get a warm blanket for the coldest time of the year, it must be made from several layers sewn together.

When to Choose Coverlet

Coverlets perform two major functions in your bedroom:

• They decorate your room as an upper layer of your bed. That is why the choice of coverlet should be determined by the colors of your walls, furniture, and general design of the room.
• They may be used as additional warming stuff for your comfortable sleep.
• Coverlets are smaller than quilts and made out of a single piece of fabric. Nevertheless, coverlets convey solidity to your bedroom. They make the bed look flawless and accomplished.

Choose Both If You Can 

Your bedroom will benefit from having both a quilt and a coverlet. If you separate these two functions, the quilt will not wear out as much. Moreover, it will always be protected by a coverlet during the day. In its turn, the coverlet will also benefit from this separation of tasks. It will not wrinkle during sleep, that is why it will remain in perfect condition as a decorative element of the room. Enjoy your warm sleep and appealing bedroom with elegant and stylish quilts and coverlets!
