There are a wide variety of sizes, weights and seasonal variables that you should consider when looking at a new doona. This buying guide is designed to help you be informed about what choices you have available to you right now!

You should also consider how heavy you want your quilt to be. If you are looking for a lighter weight quilt, make sure you find one that has a lower GSM.

Finding Your Quilt / Doona Size

One of the most important things that you need to consider when buying your next quilt / doona is the size you'll need. All our listings have the specific product sizes in the product descriptions, but typically if you have a specific size bed, you can match that with one of our bed sizes here.

Another thing to consider when choose the size of your quilt is to decide whether or not you want to upsize. By simply choosing a size above your bed size, your quilt cover will have a stylish and luxurious look where the doona cover drapes over the sides of your bed. Otherwise if you aren't a fan of that idea, just get the same size quilt & quilt cover as your bed.
