The Company Store has been making quality bedding for more than 100 years, and your bed can be the beneficiary of their expertise with our top pick for best quilt. The Cotton Voile Quilt lives up to its name with 100% cotton voile outside and 100% cotton fill, so you won’t have to fret about any fabric sensitivities or synthetic hassles.
“Smooth and soft to touch, cotton is also very effective at absorbing sweat and moisture, resulting in an incredibly pleasing material to sleep on,” says Jennifer Tampasis, interior designer and CEO of Jennifer Lynn Interiors. “Helping to keep the body cool and comfortable, there are fewer better materials for a comforter than cotton.”
The textured design adds interest without being overbearing, so it will fit in with any bedroom decor without going flat. There are also currently 23 colors available, so you’re sure to find one that goes with your favorite sham pattern.
The quilt is also affordable enough that you could even invest in two colors and switch out for the seasons. The versatile weight means it can stay on your bed year-round, though you may want to add some extra layers in the winter.

Key Terms to Know
- Quilt Top: This is generally the most decorative portion of a quilt. The top of a quilt can be made from a single piece of fabric or pieces or strips of material.
- Batting: Typically made from cotton, wool, bamboo, or a cotton and polyester blend, batting is the interior layer of a quilt (between the top and bottom layers).
- Backing: The backing is the fabric on the back of the quilt. It is often a single piece of fabric, but it can also be made from multiple pieces stitched together.
- Binding: The process that finishes the quilt, this involves stitching strips of fabric attached to the edges of the quilt.

For those looking for a budget-friendly option, the Threshold Space Dyed Cotton Linen Quilt is our top choice.
It features a square quilted design which offers a classic look, and it's available in five colors: dark gray, light gray, cognac, khaki, and olive. The backing and fill of the quilt is 100% cotton, making it lightweight and breathable.
The fabric is also Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it has been tested for harmful chemicals. While this is a great option for those looking for an affordable quilt, we wish it was available in more sizes—it only comes in a full/queen or king size.

Some people can find linen scratchy at first, and the polyester fill may trap heat and make it less breathable.
We love Hawkins New York’s classic styling with a touch of modern design, and their Simple line keeps things stylishly minimalist. A timeless grid pattern stitched into stonewashed European linen adds subtle texture and visual interest to the Simple Linen Quilt.
With linen on both sides, this lightweight quilt-it only weighs 7 pounds-can be used as a thin layer between a cooling top sheet and a duvet or as a lightweight cover during warmer months. Even better, it comes in 16 different colors.
Linen is also Light’s favorite quilt material. “Linen is lightweight, soft, and naturally temperature-regulating, meaning it keeps you comfortable year-round,” he says. “In the summer, linen’s breathability and moisture-wicking properties cool you down. In the winter, it keeps you warm without trapping heat and making you sweat. Linen is also highly durable and has antibacterial properties. Linen quilts may come at a luxury price, but they’re well worth it.”

Many of the quilts are recommended dry clean only.
Anchal is a nonprofit company that works with women in India to craft responsible and beautiful colorful quilts and other goods, blending traditional styles with contemporary design and geometric patterns. Their Kantha quilts get their name from the kantha stitching used, a traditional embroidery technique that originated in West Bengal.
While they have some standardized designs (like the check pattern featured here), we particularly love the array of one-of-a-kind designs made from repurposed cotton saris, which combine an array of bright, bold patterns in six layers of fabric.
You can even find the name of the woman who worked on your quilt stitched on the tag. Such a special throw deserves a prominent place in your home, whether draped casually over an accent chair or folded neatly at the bottom of your bed.

The color options are limited.
If a duvet or comforter feels too stuffy, using a quilt (or even one of our favorite cooling weighted blankets) at night can be a comfortable middle ground-soft and substantial enough for warmth without the added bulk.
Saatva’s original cotton-viscose blend is the perfect starting point to craft this lightweight, super-breathable Aero gauze quilt; it’s stuffed with hypoallergenic poly fill for just the right amount of weight. The quilt is also Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, so it’s free of potentially harmful chemicals.
Choose from dual-sided sage and sand or indigo and ash colorways, or a simple white, with dashed horizontal stitch accents for visual complexity. A crinkled texture adds a relaxed look to your bed, similar to linen’s casual rumpled appearance.

A heavy quilt may be ideal for the winter, but it isn't suitable for the cooler seasons. Instead, a lightweight quilt is perfect for transitioning between hot and cold months, making it easy to layer with when needed or to use solo as it gets warmer.
The Brooklinen Lightweight Quilt is the best option for those looking for a lightweight quilt. It's made of 100% long-staple cotton, so you can expect a softer and more durable quilt. In addition, the quilt is hand-stitched and takes six days to make, which means greater attention to detail so you can enjoy higher quality.
It’s available in three different colors/patterns: black lorimer, black graham, and navy and white graham. However, when purchasing, you can only choose from full/queen or king/California king sizes— there isn't an option for a twin.

The Quince Bamboo Quilt is one of the best quilts to consider if you're looking for a pick you can use year-round. The quilt is made of viscose from bamboo, a material known for its temperature-regulating properties.
The quilt is offered in several colors, so you can choose which one suits your style best. We also like that it's available in different sizes as well, so you can opt to use it as either a throw on your couch or as a blanket on your bed.
This pick can be cleaned in a washing machine, so it's easy to keep in good condition. Just keep in mind that Quince advises against using dryer balls and fabric softeners to avoid pilling. To avoid wrinkles, you'll also want to promptly remove it from your washing machine when the cleaning cycle's finished. Otherwise, you may need to iron it a bit.

If you are looking for a quilt that breaks away from the traditional checkered design, you'll love the CQC Dune Quilt. Each one is handmade by four different artisans based out of Jaipur, India, including wood carvers, block printers, quiltmakers, and dye specialists.
The eye-catching and abstract design make it one of the best modern quilts you'll find. The dune quilt features a rising sun over two shades of pink dunes. The quilt is made of 100% cotton voile exterior and 100% cotton batting, so you can cozy up with a breathable and soft quilt. However, there is a limited supply of the quilts since they are handmade, so you may have to wait for them to come back in stock.

There’s linen and then there’s French linen. The Citizenry uses French flax, which is known for making some of the best linen textiles thanks to its longer fibers, which make higher-twist yarn with a softer feel, better drape, and longer lifespan.
The large box baffle on the Stonewashed Linen Quilt is traditional without being stuffy and helps give it a fluffy, comforter-like feel. Even better, the quilts are OEKO-TEX certified and sustainably made in the oldest family-run linen mill in Portugal, so you can sleep soundly knowing that the manufacturing is done as responsibly as possible. We also love that there are 14 color options available, including two stripe options, which are hard to find in linen.
While this quilt is machine washable, be sure to wash it on a gentle cycle.

“Flying geese” is a traditional quilting style with triangular piecing, making this L.L.Bean quilt one of the best options if you’re looking for a more classic prairie or farmhouse style. The North Star patchwork quilt also offers a similar homey feeling in a different color scheme.
The slightly larger than average dimensions will keep your feet from creeping out into the cold during the night. The whole quilt is cotton, even the batting, for ultimate breathability.
We love that it’s machine-washable, too, for easy care and that matching shams are available to complete the set. As with most quilts, tumble drying is not recommended, so be sure that you have the space at home to air dry this generously sized quilt.

Sometimes you want your bedding to make a statement. The Mod Shapes quilt features a playful design inspired by an original pattern that the founders created with just paper and scissors.
For those in search of something more whimsical than box baffle, this quilt’s abstract designs comes in a warm-toned set with navy, peach, and marigold, or in an energizing color palette of citron, pastel pink and teal.
It’s made entirely of cotton, so you’ll still have plenty of softness and breathability, and we even think the quilt looks more expensive than it is. Just keep in mind that the quilt cannot be purchased separately; matching shams are included in the set.

By nature, quilts are lighter and often paired with other blankets and comforters during the chillier months. However, if you want a heavier quilt, your best option is the Casaluna Heavyweight Linen Blend Quilt.
It's made of a 100% cotton fill, so you can enjoy good insulation, despite its heavier characteristics. Also, those who prioritize ease of use with their bedding will appreciate that you can clean this quilt in the washing machine.
While the filling is completely natural, the linen side is blended with 70% rayon, a semi-synthetic material. Fortunately, that does give the quilt a smoother quality, which may be perfect if you don't like the scratchiness of linen. In addition, this quilt is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, so it is free of any harmful chemicals.

You can also enjoy a sateen weave that gives the quilt silk-like qualities. Plus, it's oversized, so you can easily snuggle up with this all year long. You can only select from three colors, which may not be ideal if you are trying to match a certain color palette in your bedroom.

If you prefer a more eco-friendly option, we love the Pact Organic Quilt. Both the shell and the filling are made of 100% Fair Trade organic cotton. This gives you a more comfortable sleep all year long since cotton helps absorb sweat and will help you enjoy an ideal temperature without trapping in heat.
In addition to being made with organic cotton, the quilt is also GOTS Certified and made in a Fair Trade Certified Factory. The quilt has a medium weight, meaning you can use it by itself in the summer, but will likely need to add more bedding during the winter.
If you prefer a quilt that has more of a neat and pristine design, keep in mind that this one has a naturally wrinkled texture. It comes in five neutral colors, so you can match the color to your bedroom decor.
