The 5 Best Quilts of 2025

The Brooklinen Lightweight Quilt was fluffy and warm but light as a feather, with thick cotton batting on the inside. Though we love the cross-pattern stitching style, the quilt wrinkled a lot after a wash, which made it look messy on the bed. It’s also only available in one size and pattern at the time of publication.

Brooklinen’s Organic Cotton Quilt was the heaviest quilt we tested in 2023, and one of the hottest to sleep under. It’s really a woven blanket rather than a quilt by our definition.

Cultiver’s Quilted Bedcover was beautiful, lightweight, and cool. But it comes in only one, non-standard size (104 by 104 inches, which is larger than a king) and three colors. It’s also filled with polyester batting, and for the hefty price I would have preferred a non-synthetic fill, like cotton or wool.

Garnet Hill’s Dream Quilt, which we originally tested for the blankets guide in 2020, is very similar to our pick from The Company Store. It comes in the same bed sizes, but it’s also available as a throw. The color (indigo) on our original Garnet Hill test quilt looked faded after a few washes, though, and the Company Store offers more (and better) color choices.

We originally tested a Levtex Home Quilt for our throws guide in 2021, and one of our testers at the time, who is also a longtime quilter (my mother), absolutely hated it. “This has the appeal of a Mylar blanket,” she said. These quilts come in many prints, but they’re 100% polyester and have an unpleasant texture.

Quince’s Cotton Velvet Quilt picked up tons of lint and dust across the plush surface, and by the end of testing it looked dingy. It was also hot to sleep under—it felt more like a comforter.

Quince’s European Linen Cotton Stitch Quilt is linen on the front and cotton on the back. After our wear tests it had a lot of pilling on the linen side, though.

Quince’s European Linen Box Quilt was one of the heavier quilts I tested in 2023, and it feels more like a comforter. The surface was a little scratchy, and it had a few pulls and pills after a wash. Also, it’s filled with polyester batting.

Quince’s Organic Airy Gauze Box Quilt was made of summery gauze fabric on the outside but stuffed with polyfill, like a down-alternative pillow or comforter. It was hot to sleep under, and the gauze was easily damaged in testing.

Red Land Cotton’s Classic Quilt was delightful to test. As a quilt maker I appreciated the style, the weight, and the way it drapes on a bed. It has perfectly mitered corners and neat, even stitching. These details all felt just right; it’s a quilter’s quilt. There’s a striped version, too. But, it’s been consistently sold out or low in stock since I tested it in 2023. If you see it available and you like the style, it’s worth getting.

Riley’s Mosaic Cotton Quilt was lightweight, stretchy, and surprisingly warm to sleep under. But it pilled and tore easily in testing, and it arrived with several loose threads and wonky stitches. For the price, we wanted stronger construction.
