If you happen to be on the lookout for your favorite coastal grandma button-down linen top in the quilt form, Brooklinens Linen Quilt in White Diamond is for you. As someone who is very sensitive to certain fabric textures, I found this 100% linen quilt to be softer to the touch than most linen products Ive come across. One of my biggest pet peeves is falling asleep feeling warm, especially in the summer months, and I was hesitant to use this product, thinking it might be on the heavier side. To my surprise, the quilt was very lightweight, super cooling, and breathable. And the high-quality elements dont end there. The stitching showed no signs of pulling on the threads, which is always a green flag. Since the crisp white color of this simple yet stylish quilt is very neutral, I can definitely imagine it being versatile when fitting into a specific decor aesthetic. From a French country farmhouse to a prewar city apartment, this quilt is bound to look good in any space.Best Cotton Quilt: Schoolhouse Channeled Cotton QuiltSchoolhouse Channeled Cotton QuiltSpecsSizes: Twin, Full/Queen, KingColors: Alder, channeled blue, channeled ochre, channeled greyTester: Mel Studach, AD PRO senior editorTheres something about a channeled quilt that brings to mind swinging open the linen closet door come fall and picking through the stacks of collected blankets for one more layer. Despite the styles longevity, it still feels incredibly classic to this day. Theres just one difference with Schoolhouses iteration: Its far too prettywith its wide channeling and subtly ruched textureto ever want to hide it away in the closet. Luckily, its light enough to cover the bed year-round and reversible, should you want to flip the pigment-rich side for a quieter heather-gray option as seasons change. Made of 100% cotton, the layer is nicely breathable (great news for those who sleep at a warm body temperature but still desire a quilted topper) and machine washable. Both sides are also wonderfully softso much so that it could double as a cozy layer on the sofa for movie nights.Best Splurge-Worthy Quilt: European Flax Linen Box Stitch QuiltWest Elm European Flax Linen Box Stitch QuiltSpecsSizes: Twin, Full/Queen, KingColors: White, natural flax, frost gray, slate melange, graphite, dark olive, cedar, celadon, silver mist melange, ocean, midnight, lilac melange, adobe rose, shell pink, terra-cotta melange, amber, dijonTester: Megan Wahn, former associate commerce editorAfter a lifetime of duvets and comforters, West Elms European Flax Linen Box Stitch Quilt converted me into a quilt purist. Needless to say, I havent looked back since. I bought this when I moved to New York about a year ago and, like your favorite pair of jeans, its only gotten more comfortable in that well-loved kind of way. Its the optimal softness and weight for all seasonswarm enough when paired with a throw blanket during the winter, but also light enough to keep me pleasantly cool in the summerthat Ive never had to dedicate any space or time to the arduous bedding-change process whenever the weather turns. Though its shown very little wear over the last year, it does seem to have a few small pulls in the fabric (although, in my opinion, it kind of adds to the overall lived-in feel and look of the quilt). The quilt comes in a few earth-toned color options, and you can also purchase a bedding set that comes with matching shams. To me, this quilt isnt just some big glorified blanketits the safe haven I look forward to hugging around me at the end of every night, 365 days of the year.Best Budget Quilt: Jungalow Kahelo Quilt SetJungalow Kahelo Quilt SetSpecsSizes: Full/Queen, KingColors: CoralTester: Lizzie Soufleris, visuals editorLizzie SouflerisAfter seeing her incredible cover story come together, it came as no surprise that interior designer Justina Blakeney knocked it out of the park with this quilt from her brand, Jungalow. Its light, breathable and, of course, looks adorable in my plant-filled bedroom. The faded dusty-salmon hue is the optimal neutral-without-being-boring solid color and paired up perfectly with one of my favorite sage green linen sheet sets. Inspired by tiles from all over the world, the gauzy fabric is laced with intricate stitching. Upon closer inspection, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the details, especially for such an affordable price. As a die-hard duvet user (and clumsy bedside coffee drinker), I must admit that I was a little concerned about cleaning a quilt. But my trepidation turned out to be unnecessary because this one is machine washable, and you can even throw it in the dryer.Best Fashionable Quilt: Dusen Dusen Check BeddingDusen Dusen Check BeddingSpecsSizes: Twin, Queen, KingColors: Blue, beige checkTester: Audrey Lee, commerce editorAudrey LeeI would gladly have Ellen Van Dusen design my entire worldso it should come as no surprise that Dusen Dusens green check coverlet takes a top spot among my favorite bedding Ive tried (and trust me, Ive tried a lot!). Since this coverlet set makes a statement on its own, Ive been outfitting it with some simple and elegant linen sheets (though the brand has plenty of patterned sets that would also match beautifully). The coverlet has a lightweight design and an airy quality thats been perfect for spring-to-summer weather, but its also super cozy on chillier nights when paired with a nice fuzzy throw (like this one from Kassatex). As for the textile pattern, Ive never been more eager for bedtime. The cream-and-sea-foam palette provides just the right pop of color, while the checkerboard itself feels like a chic update on a classic motif (not to mention the delightful matching shams really tie the whole look together). The cotton material was already supremely soft straight out of the bag, but since tossing it into the laundry for a wash (just make sure you follow the care instructions!), its even softer and gauzier than before, making me excited to sleep with this bedding for years to come.Best Eco-Friendly Option: Buffy Linen QuiltBuffy Linen QuiltSpecsSizes: Full/Queen, King/California KingColors: White, oatTester: Rachel Fletcher, commerce directorIts been smooth sailing with this quilt since day one. I washed it straight out of the box and felt it soften immediately. I had intended to layer it over my duvet but have ended up favoring the quilt on its own. Its softness and breathability from the hemp fibers are really pleasant, and I still feel sufficiently bundled up. This quilt has a neat box-quilted pattern that feels visually interesting and almost veers into checkerboard territory. Its available in white or oat (I chose the latter, which feels sophisticated and not too flashy if your bedroom leans more minimal, as mine does). Its also a pretty thin layer, which I appreciate, and doesnt feel overly heavy or suffocating. If youre looking for a visually striking quilt, there are definitely bolder options on this list, but this is perfect for a serene setup. Looks and functionality aside, I love that hemp linen specifically has outstanding sustainability cred. I think its a great choice for anyone looking to upgrade their bedding without sacrificing the planet.Other Quilts and Coverlets We Recommend:Brooklinen Organic Cotton Quilt SetSpecsSizes: Full/Queen, King/Cali KingColors: Vanilla or blue marinaTester: Melissa Studach, senior AD Pro editor
