The Best Blankets and Quilts for Your King Size Bed

Choosing the correct quilt and bedspread for your king size bed is the first step towards ensuring a good night’s sleep. Some of us will prefer to be cocooned in our beds, while others prefer a lighter combination of bedding.

When deciding on a duvet, one of the most important things to consider is the climate in your bedroom. Is it always warm, swaying you towards a lightweight option or is it typically colder, making a heavyweight duvet the ideal choice. It’s also important to take into account how you sleep – do you run hot in the night, or do you find yourself reaching for extra layers? Do you prefer to snuggle up under a thick duvet or rest under a thinner bedspread?

For overall practicality, a year-round duvet such as the Vispring 100% Hungarian Goose Down Luxury Duvet is a great option. The 9.1 tog means it won’t be too hot during the summer and can be added to with the addition of a luxurious king size throw or bedspread in the winter to add both cosiness and an extra layer of warmth. We love the La Vie en Rose quilt, which is adorned with florals and botanicals against a pink ground. The light wadding adds a subtle layer of insulation, making it the perfect companion for the Hungarian Goose Down Duvet, or alone as a duvet substitute during hot weather.

If overheating in the night is a common occurrence for you, a pocketed duvet if a great choice. The pocketed sections prevent bunching by keeping each section of filling in place, perfect for heat regulation and distribution. The Vispring Pyrenean Duck Down and Feather Luxury Duvet is a great choice and has a 7.8 tog rating, making it lightweight.

For a duvet which is well-suited to winter without the need for an additional layer, opt for the Goose Feather & Down Duvet. With a plush 10.5 tog and a filling consisting of 85% luxury goose feather and 15% down, this duvet will keep the warm in and the cold out.

In the height of summer, the Luxuriator Bedspread in Fawn Velvet is generously sized to cover an entire king size bed whilst still softly draping over the sides. The lightweight 2.5 tog rating offers the perfect balance of lightweight and luxury, in a gorgeous neutral tone with all-over embroidery, perfectly complementary to our collection of upholstered beds.
