Guide to choosing a quilt

DaunenStep quilts are filled bed coverings designed to be used directly on the bed, combining comfort and style. The range includes models filled with down or synthetic fibre, two-tone and patterned versions, as well as Trapuntino MIO, with different warmth levels and sizes to suit different sleeping needs.

Quick answer

How do you choose a quilt?

To choose the most suitable quilt, it is useful to consider four factors: filling, warmth level, size and style. DaunenStep quilts are available with down or fibre filling, in two-tone or patterned versions and with different warmth levels depending on the season and bedroom temperature.

Quilt or duvet

What is the difference between a quilt and a duvet?

A quilt is a filled bed covering that already includes its outer fabric and is normally used directly on the bed. In addition to providing warmth, it also has a decorative function thanks to its colours and patterns.

A duvet, on the other hand, is generally placed inside a duvet cover. The choice between a quilt and a duvet therefore also depends on how you want to dress and manage the bed.

Filling

Is a down or fibre quilt better?

DaunenStep offers quilts with different types of filling. The choice depends not only on the desired warmth, but also on whether you prefer a natural or synthetic material and on the feel you are looking for while sleeping.

Type Filling Feature
Two-tone down quilt 90% down, 10% feathers – 640 cuin Natural, soft and lightweight filling
Two-tone fibre quilt 100% polyester PrimaLoft® Bio™ Soft and practical synthetic alternative

The warmth level does not depend exclusively on the material: both down and fibre can be offered with different levels of insulation. It is therefore important to also consider the bedroom temperature and the season of use.

Style

Two-tone quilt, patterned quilt or Trapuntino MIO?

Two-tone quilts combine two shades and make it easy to change the look of the bed while maintaining a clean and versatile style.

Patterned quilts place greater emphasis on decoration, with designs and motifs intended to give the bedroom a more distinctive character.

Trapuntino MIO is a lighter option designed especially for the transitional seasons. It uses a filling of 90% down and 10% feathers and a 100% cotton cover.

Temperature

Which warmth level should you choose for a quilt?

The warmth level should be chosen mainly according to the bedroom temperature and your personal sensitivity to heat and cold.

Warmth level Approximate temperature Recommended use
Mid-Season Above 22°C Transitional seasons or particularly warm bedrooms
Classic Winter 18–22°C Winter use in normally heated bedrooms
Cold Winter 14–18°C Colder bedrooms or people who are particularly sensitive to the cold

Thermal perception remains subjective: in addition to room temperature, personal habits, sleepwear and the characteristics of the bed also influence how warm a quilt feels.

Sizes

Which size should you choose for a quilt?

The quilt should be chosen according to the width of the bed and the desired drop at the sides. The DaunenStep range includes sizes for single, small double and double beds.

Bed type Quilt size
Single 180x260 cm
Small double 220x260 cm
Double 270x260 cm

In brief

Down or fibre: choose the filling according to your preferred feel and material.
Two-tone or patterned: choose the style that best suits the bedroom.
Mid-Season, Classic Winter or Cold Winter: consider the room temperature above all.
Single, small double or double: choose the size according to the bed and the desired drop.
A quilt and a duvet are not the same thing: a quilt already includes its own outer fabric.

Frequently asked questions

Quilt FAQ

What is a quilt used for?

A quilt is a filled bed covering that contributes to thermal comfort while sleeping and is used directly on the bed. Its outer fabric also has a decorative function.

What is the difference between a quilt and a duvet?

A quilt already has a decorative outer fabric and is normally used directly on the bed. A duvet, on the other hand, is generally placed inside a duvet cover.

Is a down or fibre quilt better?

It depends on the preferred material and feel. Down provides a natural, soft and lightweight solution, while synthetic fibre offers a practical alternative. However, the warmth level depends on the specific model and not exclusively on the type of filling.

Which warmth level should you choose for a quilt?

In general, Mid-Season is suitable for temperatures above 22°C, Classic Winter for bedrooms between 18 and 22°C and Cold Winter for temperatures between 14 and 18°C. The choice also depends on personal sensitivity to heat and cold.

Is a down quilt always warmer than a fibre quilt?

No. Warmth mainly depends on the amount and characteristics of the filling and on the model's warmth level. The material alone does not automatically determine which quilt is warmer.

What sizes are DaunenStep quilts available in?

The main sizes are 180x260 cm for single beds, 220x260 cm for small double beds and 270x260 cm for double beds. Availability may vary depending on the model.

A two-tone quilt is suitable for those looking for a cleaner and more versatile style, while a patterned quilt can become a more distinctive decorative feature in the bedroom.

What is Trapuntino MIO?

Trapuntino MIO is a lighter filled bed covering designed especially for the transitional seasons. It uses a filling of 90% down and 10% feathers and a 100% cotton cover.
