How can I style a lightweight quilt blanket?

Creating an elegant bedroom is easy with Frette’s collection of lightweight bed quilts. With hand-ironed mitred corners and finely tailored finishes, our lightweight quilts elevate any room thanks to their versatility and style. Pair your lightweight quilt bedding with decorative pillows and luxury throws and blankets to create a timeless look with intentional layers that blend harmoniously. When choosing a lightweight quilt blanket, it’s common to layer it with luxury bed sheets that are smooth and soft to the touch.

As you style your lightweight quilt, keep seasonality in mind. During the warmer summer months, your quilt can be folded and placed at the foot of the bed, while in the colder winter months, it can be paired with a duvet to create a cozy sleeping chamber. At Frette, our virtual styling services can help you curate the perfect bedroom that blends style with comfort.

What are the advantages of lightweight quilts?

A lightweight quilt is a popular bedding choice for many, as they’re designed to provide comfort and breathability without extra weight or added bulk. Ideal for warmer seasons or as a layering piece in the winter, lightweight quilts offer sleepers many benefits, including:
• Versatility: A lightweight quilt provides all-season comfort, suitable for warmer and cooler temperatures, as they can be easily layered with other blankets or sheets.
• Aesthetics: Frette’s line of lightweight quilts features either bold, sophisticated patterns or subtle, understated neutrals, and made from yarn-dyed mixed silk jacquard or irresistible cotton sateen. Together, our quilts serve as both functional bedding and decorative elements that can pair well with pillowcases and other bedding to create a well-intentioned room.
• Storage: Whether you’re using them for a specific season or simply want to swap one quilt out for another, lightweight quilts with their thinner profile and lighter weight can easily be stored in your linen closet.

What filling is used in lightweight quilts?

Our lightweight bed quilts feature world-class filling to create a look and feel that can’t be matched. Some quilts may feature 100% polyester filling, known for its hypoallergenic properties, durability, and lightweight construction, whereas other quilts may contain a cashmere and cotton blend for a luxurious feel. At Frette, we ensure our quilts are constructed from the finest materials to ensure the best sleep.

What are the care instructions for lightweight bed quilts?

One of the benefits of a light quilt is its ease of maintenance, thanks to its lower profile and lightweight construction. Generally, most quilts can be machine-washed in cold water with a mild liquid biodegradable detergent without added bleach or whiteners. To dry many of our quilts, you can place them in a dryer on a low setting and remove them before they completely dry. From there, line-dry your quilt completely and finish by ironing and folding. However, other lightweight quilts may only require dry cleaning due to their materials and construction, so read the care instructions before cleaning.
