Quilt, Doona & Duvet Covers

Update your bedroom in an afternoon with a new quilt cover. It's the quickest, most cost-effective style refresh there is, no new furniture or paint required. Our range spans denim, cotton, vintage washed linen, chambray, stonewashed cotton, bamboo, jersey, flannelette and velvet, crafted by our in-house design team across seasonal, traditional, modern and contemporary looks, think embroidered or quilted covers, exclusive geometric quilting, fashionable lace placements or hand-woven tassel detailing. Bed covers suit every size from single to super king, and every shade from green and blue through to white, pink, yellow and textured waffle. Play with a bright cover for summer, rich tones for winter, soft linen for an earthy feel, or white for a hotel-luxury look, whichever way you style it, every quilt cover here (yes, even the velvet ones) is machine washable.

How to Choose the Right Quilt Cover

Choose Your Material by Season

For a breathable feel that stays cool in summer, reach for Vintage Washed Linen, our Gingham quilt covers or Bamboo Linen. If you prefer something smooth, Stonewashed Cotton gets softer with every wash. Flannelette is built for winter, it traps heat in every fibre so you never slide into a cold bed. Ultra Soft Jersey sits neatly in between, warm but breathable and buttery soft to touch, and World's Softest Cotton is a favourite for kids or anyone with sensitive skin.

What Thread Count Tells You

Thread count is how many horizontal and vertical strands make up a square inch of fabric, the more there are, the softer and warmer the cover will feel, since there's less gap between each strand. It's worth checking before you buy for a specific season: our Bamboo Cotton (600TC) is breathable enough for summer, while a higher thread count cover suits the cooler months better.

Quilt Cover or Coverlet?

Quilt covers come in standard sizes that match the tag on your quilt, from Single through to Super King. If two of you are fighting over the doona, sizing up to a Super King is worth it. Want a lighter top layer instead? A coverlet is the alternative, though it comes in hybrid sizes (Single/Double and Queen/King) rather than matching quilt sizing exactly, since it's a different product without an insert inside it.

Best For

Best for hot sleepers: Bamboo Cotton (350TC).

A 60% bamboo, 40% cotton weave that's lightweight, silky and reversible. It moves heat away from the body rather than holding it, and comes in Queen, King and Super King.

Best for winter and cold sleepers: Flannelette.

Brushed for warmth, it traps heat in every fibre so there's no cold-bed shock on the coldest nights. The range shoppers reach for first once the temperature drops.

Best for sensitive skin and allergies: World's Softest Cotton.

A breathable, natural-fibre weave that's gentle on skin prone to irritation, and it comes in a wide range of colours, a favourite for kids' rooms.

Best for a considered linen investment: Vintage Washed Linen.

European pure (French flax) linen at 135–165GSM, cool to warm, with a lived-in softness that improves with every wash. This is the purist's pick, and a favourite among Linen Lovers members chasing ongoing member pricing on the range.

Comparing the Fabrications

Thread count and GSM aren't directly comparable across different fabrics, so let warmth and hand feel guide the choice as much as the number on the pack. If you want the softest everyday cover, look to the higher thread count cotton weaves; if you're after natural texture that keeps improving with age, linen is the one that rewards patience. 

Quilt Covers FAQs

What's the difference between a quilt cover, duvet cover and doona cover?

Nothing, they all mean the same thing: a cover designed to protect your quilt from dust and dirt while adding style to your bedroom. Australians tend to say "doona cover" or "quilt cover," while New Zealanders say "duvet cover." The word "doona" is even said to come from the Danish word "dyne," meaning down feathers.

What's the difference between a quilt cover and a coverlet?

A quilt cover is a two-piece system, an insert goes inside it. A coverlet is a single, lighter layer with no insert required, and it comes in hybrid sizing (Single/Double, Queen/King) rather than matching your quilt exactly. Choose a coverlet if you want a lighter top layer, especially in warmer months.

Why does thread count matter?

It's the simplest way to gauge how soft and warm a quilt cover will feel. The more threads woven into each square inch, the smoother the fabric and the better it holds warmth, useful to know when you're choosing a cover for a specific season.

Can I machine wash a velvet quilt cover?

Yes, every quilt cover in our range is machine washable, velvet included, so you don't need to compromise on easy care to get the look you want.

What size quilt cover do I need?

Quilt covers come in standard sizes that match the tag on your quilt insert, from Single through to Super King. If you're often fighting over the doona with a partner, sizing up to Super King gives you both plenty to share.
