Quick answer
Heavy weight and super warm quilts are made for cold sleepers, chilly bedrooms and the depths of winter. This range covers wool, feather and down, and polyester fills, each labelled Super Warm, Extra Warm or High Warmth. Check both the warmth rating and the quilt weight, because the warmest quilt is not always the heaviest one.
Never sleep cold again with Tontine’s range of heavy-weight, super warm quilts and doonas. Designed for cold sleepers, those living in cooler climates, or to pull out for those chilly winter months, these quilts are like a warm hug at the end of a long day.

At Tontine we use a numerical warmth rating, warmth description and season suitability guide to help you choose the very best quilt for you.
In addition to the warmth of the quilt, weight should also be a deciding factor, as this can generally be more of a personal preference. It is not always true that the warmest quilts are also the heaviest which is why it is important to always check the quilt weight on top of the warmth rate to ensure you are making the best decision for you and your family.
Choosing the right doona for you can be a difficult decision, and it does depend on what type of sleeper you are and the climate you live in. For winter months, colder sleepers or those living in cooler environments, our heavyweight quilts are the best option to avoid the nighttime shivers. If you’re unsure if these are the right option for you, try our Doona & Quilt Decision Guide. It goes through each factor in detail, making sure you know how to select the best quilt for yourself and your family.
Most quilts can be machine washed, however it is important to always read the care label and follow the care instructions. While washing your quilt cover regularly is recommended, the actual quilt itself tends to only need to be washed 1-2 times a year.
Down and wool are the warmest natural fillings. Feather and down traps a lot of warm air for very little weight, while wool gives deep, breathable warmth that helps you avoid waking up clammy. Polyester can match them for warmth in a heavier fill and is a popular easy-care choice.
It depends on how cold your nights get. In milder coastal cities, an all seasons quilt may be enough for much of winter, while colder inland and southern areas call for a Super Warm or Extra Warm quilt. If you always feel the cold, go one step warmer than your climate alone suggests.
Among the warmest options here are the Super Warm quilts and the extra warm heavy weight wool winter quilt. Choose the heavy weight wool quilt if you like to feel tucked in under real weight, or the Homestead Super Warm feather and down quilt if you want high warmth with less weight on top of you.
