A quilt or coverlet does what a duvet cannot: it sits flat, shows its pattern or texture, and works as a standalone bed covering in warmer months or as a layer beneath a duvet insert in cooler ones. At Lulu and Georgia, the quilts and coverlets collection spans washed cotton and linen quilts, matelàssé and jacquard coverlets, block-print and patterned quilts, and solid-color stonewashed styles — each chosen for the way they look layered on a made bed and the quality that makes them hold up across years of regular washing.
What quilts and coverlets does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes washed cotton quilts in solid and printed colorways, linen and linen-blend quilts, matelàssé and jacquard coverlets with woven texture, block-print and traditional quilted patterns, and lightweight summer quilts. Most styles are available in twin, full/queen, and king sizes. Many coordinate with the duvet covers, shams, and sheets collections for a complete bedding layer. Most are machine-washable.
What is the difference between a quilt and a coverlet?
A quilt is typically a three-layer textile — a decorative top, a batting middle, and a backing — stitched through all layers to hold the filling in place. The stitching pattern is often a design element in itself. A coverlet is a single or double layer of woven fabric with no batting — lighter, less insulating, and more tailored in appearance. Coverlets are better for warm climates or as a decorative layer; quilts provide more warmth.
Can a quilt replace a duvet?
In warmer climates or during summer, a quilt can work as the primary bed covering. It provides light warmth without the bulk of a duvet insert. In cooler climates, a quilt works best layered: folded at the foot of the bed over a duvet, or used as an additional layer beneath a duvet insert for extra warmth. The visual layering of a quilt with a duvet is also one of the easiest ways to add texture and pattern to a bedroom.
