      Down Alternative Quilts designed to mimic the luxurious feel of traditional down comforters, but without using any animal products.

      They are typically hypoallergenic, making them ideal for allergy sufferers who struggle with down.  They are also easier to care for, being machine washable and dryable.

Quilts are sewn more securely and are thicker than coverlets, which are thin blankets available in a variety of colours and textures. Coverlets are made of one layer, whereas quilts are made of three layers: a top, batting, and backing.
