Top Tips for Choosing the Right Quilt Covers
A quilt cover not only protects the quilt but adds to the décor and embellishment of one’s bedroom.

But nowadays customers are spoilt for choice as quilt covers of various colours, patterns, designs and fabrics are available.
There are thousands of quilt cover sets online which may confuse customers. Finding the right quilt covers for the bedroom is a tough task. Basically, people need to understand that the quilt cover is simply a cover for the quilt-like a washable pillowcase for a pillow or a screen protector for a smartphone.
While shopping for a quilt cover, one must proceed with care so as not to waste too much money on a wrong purchase. There are many factors to consider while making a purchase.
Here are some top tips for quilt cover shopping:
The Design
One attractive factor with quilts and quilt covers is that you can change their design, whenever you wish to. Additionally, two different quilt covers can be used on the same quilt. For example, if one is in a nature-inspired mood, one can use a floral pattern quilt cover. But if on another day, one is craving for some drama, one can use a quilt cover with bold, geometric designs, which you can find from the collection of Logan & Mason quilt cover sets, retailed by The Bedspread Shop.
Another factor with the design is that one can choose a quilt cover that matches the décor of the bedroom and the home. This includes the designs of any furnishings like throws and pillows. Often simplicity is synonymous with beauty. The quilt cover can be a beautifully crafted, subtle statement, which will offer the ultimate style and comfort for any bedroom.
Material
Quilt covers come in various materials such as cotton and cotton blends, synthetic material, luxurious stain or even flannel. The material determines other issues like the price of the furnishing as well as the method of cleaning it. Thick material is ideal for cold winter seasons while something light will suit the hot summer months.
One might also stay away from delicate and luxurious material like satin if there are kids and pets. If one does allow pets to sleep on the bed, it is best to go in for vintage sheet sets because their dyed, mélange design can hide any small scuff marks which tiny claws can make.
Another factor in choosing the material is the skin sensitivity of the user. In case, one has sensitive skin it is good to go in for a breathable natural fibre like cotton which you can find in the collection of quilt cover sets online.
Thread Count
Thread count indicates how many vertical and horizontal threads exist per square 10cm. Many times, high thread count is associated with the durability, softness, and luxury of the fabric, but high thread count may also mean more cost. In cold places, it is good to go in for the fabric with the highest thread count as it will determine the warmth provided by the quilt. A quilt cover with a low thread count will allow air to move more freely, keeping the user cool and comfortable in summer.
The Size and Purpose of the Quilt
It is good for the customer to know the size of the bed as well as the quilt while purchasing a quilt cover. Another factor is the need for the quilt cover. Persons living in cold areas must go in for warm and soft quilt covers while those in warm areas must opt for thin and breathable quilt covers. Persons with allergies must pick hypoallergenic quilt covers.
