Quilt & Quilt Cover Sizes in Australia
Whether you’re after subtle, dusty shades of linen, or an ever-classic rippled cotton weave, our quilt covers are the stuff dreams are made of.
With that said, knowing which size to purchase is crucial. Our handy size chart takes the guess work away.
*Please note all the quilt & quilt cover sizes below are in cm.
Quilt & Quilt Cover size | Quilt Dimensions | To use on: |
Single Bed | 140 x 210cm | Single mattress |
Double Bed | 180 x 210cm | Single mattress |
Queen Size | 210 x 210cm | Double mattress |
King Size | 245 x 210cm | Queen mattress |
Super King Size | 270 x 240cm | Super King mattress |
Top tip: We recommend buying a quilt a size larger than the mattress you own. This will give you a picturesque drape and stop quilt-stealers from striking at midnight, leaving you in the cold.
So, for instance, if you have a Queen mattress you would invest in a King quilt size. Further to that, if you’ve been wondering what Double bed doona size you should buy – well the answer would be Queen.
