01 / Begin with the insert

A cover that fits what is inside

Check the centimetre measurements on both products, especially when mixing brands. If you are replacing only the cover, measure the existing insert and compare its label with the new listing.

Common Australian guide sizes — width × length.
Quilt size Insert & cover reference
Single 140 × 210 cm
Double 180 × 210 cm
Queen 210 × 210 cm
King 245 × 210 cm
Super King 270 × 240 cm

These are guide dimensions, rather than mattress sizes. Confirm your chosen insert and cover: brand measurements can vary. Our complete bedding size guide explains mattress fit and quilt coverage.

02 / Choose the surface you enjoy

Fabric, texture and colour

Fibre, weave or knit, and finishing work together to create the feel. Cotton covers can feel quite different from one another. Jersey is knitted, sateen is a weave, and jacquard describes a woven pattern rather than a fibre.

Crisp, smooth or relaxed

Compare woven finishes and composition for the feel you prefer. Consider jersey or a washed finish if you like a more relaxed look.

Quiet texture or a statement

A neutral cover can work with changing accessories; a pattern can become the focal point. For textured styles, check the face and reverse fabrics, which may differ.

A high thread-count number alone does not guarantee softness, durability or cooling. Read our thread-count guide and compare the other construction details too.

03 / Check the finishing details

Three checks before ordering

  1. Set contents

    Check the included pillowcases and their measurements. European pillowcases, cushions and other photographed accessories may be sold separately.

  2. Closure & changeover

    Read about the opening and any internal ties. Match the insert corners carefully; our cover-changing guide shows the steps.

  3. Care & certification

    Check washing, drying and ironing against your routine. Follow the exact care label rather than assuming all covers in a material wash alike.

Where a product lists OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification, check that product's stated scope. The standard concerns testing for harmful substances. It does not mean every item in a collection is certified or that the fabric is chemical-free.
