Swap out your heavy bedding for the best quilts of 2025, according to experts

Sizes: Twin, Full/Queen, King | Colors: Jade (shown), Clay, Flame, Graphite, Gray, Mushroom, Pacific, White | Fabric type: Cotton voile, cotton fill | Set: No

Many store-bought quilts are not actually pieced together like traditional versions, says Latifah Saafir, CEO of Latifah Saafir Studios and co-founder of the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild. But she points out that The Company Store is a happy exception. "They still do piecing, and as far as quality is concerned, they use natural materials, like cotton."

This pick, for example, is constructed from 100% cotton voile and features 100% cotton batting, which Saafir adds is great for year-round use. Voile is a soft, thin fabric, which gives this quilt a lightweight feel and adds to its breathability — you could use it alone or layered with a comforter. 

At less than $150, it's one of the least expensive high-quality, hand-stitched quilts I could find. And I haven't even mentioned its good looks yet: This beauty features an irregular chevron pattern that gives it tons of texture, and it comes in 10 rich colors, including both earth and jewel tones. You can find it in seven more hues if you buy it directly from The Company Store (where it gets 4.7 stars from 2,700 reviews), though expect to pay about $50 more.

Sizes: Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/California King | Colors: Coconut Milk (shown), Dark Gray, Eucalyptus, Ivory, Light Blue, Light Gray, Navy, Rose Blush, White | Fabric type: Microfiber, polyester fill | Set: Yes

This sleek set makes making your bed on a budget easy. For just $32, you get two shams, and the quilt itself is reversible, with the same pattern on the flip side, so it looks good whichever way you lay it on your bed. 

"A great budget option with a simple, modern aesthetic," says interior designer Ann Lopez, founder of Studio 790. "It’s lightweight but still cozy, and the neutral colors are easy to mix in."

Indeed, this quilt's diamond design and solid colors mean it could work with any style of decor, especially if you already have a lot of patterns or texture in your bedroom, says Lopez. "Opting for a quilt with a subtle pattern or tone-on-tone stitching will make it feel intentional, not chaotic."

And Lopez isn't the only fan: This quilt set gets more than 5,400 five-star ratings, with shoppers praising the softness of the double-brushed microfiber. "This is a great addition to ANY bed. You can use it as a summer blanket or layer it with any other bedding. The texture and feel are almost velvety," wrote one cool customer.

Sizes: Twin/Twin Extra Long, Full/Queen, King | Colors: Dark gray (shown), black, khaki, light gray, dark navy, dark olive green, indigo, light brown | Fabric type: Cotton sateen, cotton fill | Set: No

Quilter Leslie Bercher says she's been a longtime fan of the Threshold line at Target for its affordability and quality. And designer Lopez gave a special shout-out to the brand's washed cotton sateen quilts, which have a slight sheen and are exceptionally soft and lightweight.

"These are a go-to!" she says. "Super soft, come in beautiful earthy tones and hold up well. I’ve used these in guest rooms and Airbnb designs."

Though customer reviews are somewhat mixed (most complaints are about the quilt arriving damaged), the shoppers who love this blanket really love it. "I decided to ignore the negative reviews and take a chance on this quilt, and I'm glad I did. The workmanship is flawless, the navy color is so rich and deep it looks velvety, and what’s not to love about cotton outer and cotton inner?! It’s rare to find a quilt without poly filling! I've already washed it on cold/delicate, then dried it on medium heat. It came out perfect and is an excellent lighter-weight quilt for summer nights when the air conditioning feels a bit chilly," wrote one fan.

Sizes: Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/California King | Colors: Multicolor | Fabric type: Cotton, cotton fill | Set: Yes

If I'm going to be honest, I didn't expect to find a traditionally constructed, 100% cotton quiIt on Amazon — even though Bercher told me it was possible! Then I came across this pretty little number, which earns an impressive 3,300+ five-star reviews.

The patchwork design is pieced together the old-fashioned way, then machine-stitched for durability. I love the muted jewel tones and riot of florals, which give the quilt that English cottage look that's so trendy right now. 

If you ever get tired of all the color, you can flip the quilt over: It's backed with a yellow, blue and purple botanical design that while not exactly subtle, has a calmer vibe than the patchwork on top. 

"I love this set. I didn't know how much I loved it until I looked at my old set and realized it was the same set. Wears well and looks fabulous," wrote a repeat customer. Another shopper raved, "Nice quilt, medium weight without being too light or heavy. Pretty, traditional pattern and the colors stayed true after washing."

FYI, this set comes with matching shams, and for $20 more, you can nab a five-piece combo with two additional throw pillows.

Sizes: Twin, Queen, King | Colors: Charcoal and white | Fabric type: Cotton, cotton/polyester fill | Set: Yes

As you can probably imagine, when you research and review products for a living, you're pretty picky about which brands you use in your own home. Eddie Bauer's reversible sherpa blanket has long been a favorite of Yahoo shopping editors for its cozy design combined with an unbeatable price — and in fact, all the brand's bedding delivers serious value.

Take this quilt set: It's made from 100% cotton, comes with two shams and still rings in well under $100. Although the patchwork design is printed, not stitched, Bercher named this quilt as one of her favorite store-bought finds.

"I actually use it on my camper bed as a base layer to my handmade quilts, which I put at the foot of the bed to add something special," she explains. It makes sense she considers it more of a backdrop: Though the pattern is busy, because it's in black and white, this quilt is more neutral than you might think. 

More than 4,900 shoppers agree. "We initially bought this for one of our Airbnbs and we received so many great reviews on it and loved it so much that we bought it for our guest bedroom at our permanent home. The quality and comfort are excellent," wrote one happy host.

"If you’re in the mood for a splurge and for a statement quilt, Anthropologie is it!" says Lopez. "An investment in one of these will last a lifetime and make an impact, especially in a guest bedroom." Thompson also is a fan of the brand's quilts, which come in an impressive array of patterns and are typically made of cotton or thinner cotton voile.

This Iluka quilt is made from 100% cotton and features two cheerful prints (marigolds on one side and a green-and-white ditsy floral on the other). The edges, which are scalloped, are piped in a darker green trim, a detail that adds to the high-end look.

"This quilt is well made and looks adorable!! Got the yellow flower print and it is so pretty. I love that this quilt is just the right thickness … I’m a hot sleeper and it definitely doesn’t make me want to kick it off in the middle of the night, so that’s a huge plus! It also washes well and seems pretty durable," shared one stylish sleeper. 

Yellow not your color? The Iluka comes in seven other designs, featuring sky blues, dusty greens and muted oranges. 

Sizes: Twin, Full/Queen, King | Color: Blue | Fabric type: Cotton, cotton/poly fill | Set: Yes

Target for the win once again! If you're looking to channel breezy, beach-house vibes, you can't do much better than this pretty striped quilt, recommended by stylist Brooke Jacobs, who works with bedding companies on photo shoots and displays. 

"As a hot sleeper, I prefer quilts to comforters. Quilts are easier to regulate temperature for sleep, easy to wash and tend to get softer with use," she says. "I love blue bedding, and right now I have my eyes on the Martha Stripe Blue Quilt Set."

It's no wonder she's a fan: Between the seersucker-inspired pattern and scalloped edges, this quilt packs on the charm. It also comes with matching shams, which Jacobs says are a must-have. "They complete the look of the bed."

Sizes: Full/Queen, King/California King | Colors: Fresh Moss (shown), white, cream, Oxford Stripe in Oat Chambray, Oxford Stripe in Storm Chambray | Fabric type: Linen, percale cotton | Set: No

Linen sheet lovers: This one's for you. The same characteristics that make linen sheets so appealing — their lived-in, slightly rumpled feel and breathability — give this quilt its charm. It reminds me of something you'd use at summer camp in the best possible way.

Jacobs raves about this quilt, and the fact that you can also buy it as a set with two shams. "Brooklinen's washed linen quilts are so soft and breathable, and I love that they are double-sided and come with shams! Matching shams are a must-have for me," she says.

Linen is ideal if you want a natural fabric that stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter and that looks more casual and textured than cotton. FYI this quilt also comes in striped versions for channeling a coastal-cool aesthetic.

Sizes: Full/Queen, King | Colors: Taupe/Midnight | Fabric type: Organic cotton slub, velvet and voile, organic cotton fill | Set: No

Anyone who knows about quilts has heard of Gee's Bend: A community started by enslaved people in rural Alabama, it was and still is home to some of the most legendary quilters in the country. Gee's Bend quilts are true works of art and can be seen in dozens of museums around the world. 

Recently, two members of the community, mother-daughter duo Andrea Pettway-Williams and Cheyenne Pettway, teamed up with Crate & Barrel on a few exclusive designs. "I would totally recommend them," says Saafir. 

Made from organic fabrics and hand-quilted, this blanket has a pattern of off-centered concentric squares that's a hallmark of Gee's Bend quilting. And though it's pricey at $300, Crate & Barrel also sells a kids' version in a similar pattern, albeit brighter colors, for almost half the price. 

Sizes: Twin, Full/Queen, King/California King | Colors: Bluestone (shown), White, Cream, Oak, Pewter, Night, Sageleaf | Fabric type: Organic cotton, organic cotton fill | Set: No

If nothing but organic cotton will do, Boll & Branch has you covered — literally. The brand's Signature Textured Stitch Quilt is the ultimate luxury, made with organic long-staple cotton that's woven in a way to help the fibers get softer with each wash.

Though it only comes in neutral, solid colors, the intricate cross-stitching gives it a diamond pattern that would feel right at home at a five-star spa. Just take it from this Boll & Branch enthusiast: "This quilt is amazing. It is not too thick to sleep hot in the summer, and it's the perfect texture and weight to add a little zest to the room without overpowering and being a showstopper. It is massive and has PLENTY of overhang that allows [you] to hide the sides of the bed if you need — and I say this having a LARGE 16-18" mattress with topper!"

In addition to its generous size, fans praise its durability — a good thing, because this pick is pricey. If you're going to spend this much on a quilt, you want it to last. "My dog burrowed into the quilt and there were no snags on the fabric or top stitching. Miraculous!!" wrote a happy pet parent.
