Frequently Asked Questions

In Hong Kong, quilt and doona mean the same thing – a cosy insert (filled with down, wool, silk, etc) that goes inside a cover. In the UK and Europe, this bedding item is called a duvet. Got it?

’s where it gets a little confusing. In many parts of the world, the word quilt refers not to a doona but a traditional stitched, decorative bed cover. Americans sometimes call duvets comforters. However, a comforter most often refers to a padded quilt used without a duvet cover.
GSM (or grams per square metre) is a measurement of the density or weight of a quilt’s filling – and, as a result, its warmth. The higher the GSM, the heavier, thicker and warmer your quilt will be.
The best type of quilt to buy depends entirely on your sleep needs, comfort preference and preferred aesthetic. Head to the ‘Different Types of Quilt Fillings’ section for a quick rundown of the pros and cons of different materials.
How you should wash your quilt depends on the materials. Different quilts have different washing requirements, so always follow the care instructions provided with your quilt.

All-Season Quilts for Luxurious Comfort

From snuggly winter warmth to sweat-wicking summer cosiness — and year-round comfort in all seasons — Ecosa quilts take sleep comfort to the next level.

Luxe Silk Quilt

With a 100% pure silk filling, our Luxe Silk Quilt adapts to bring you all-season comfort. Luxurious and lightweight, available in summer and mid-season weights that can be clipped together — for toastiness when the cold weather arrives.

TempRite Quilt

Looking for the perfect all-seasons quilt for year-round comfort all-in-one? Our TempRite Quilt is the easy choice for all sleepers. Plush but not heavy, the 300 GSM all-season fill provides cosy warmth in winter, yet is lightweight and breathable comfort for summer nights.

How to Choose the Right Quilt for Your Bed

Your ideal quilt will depend on the climate you live in, your sleep and health concerns, and who you share your bed with.

A heavier, higher-GSM (fill weight) quilt suits colder climates, while a lighter-weight quilt with a breathable fabric fill is ideal for the warm Hong Kong climate, or sleep hot.

Alternatively, all-season quilt delivers flexibility and adaptability through the seasons.

Asthma or allergies? Hypoallergenic natural materials such bamboo and silk, or machine washable synthetic fillings are often recommended. The easy care convenience of a durable fabric like polyester may also appeal if your bed is shared with kids or animals.

Different Types of Quilt Fillings

Quilt fillings may be synthetic, all-natural or a combination of both — and each has unique pros and cons.

Synthetic materials (e.g. polyester, microfibre) are the easiest to care for but are typically less breathable than natural fibres and can trap heat.

Down duvets/quilts are ultra-fluffy, very durable and warm yet lightweight — but can be expensive and require special care. Feather and down is a common combination that delivers plenty of plush warmth. However, these quilts tend to be heavier and can harbour dust mites.

Lightweight and luxurious, silk (used in our Luxe Quilt) is a hypoallergenic natural material that delivers breathable comfort. However, it’s one of the more delicate duvet fillings and is typically dry clean only.

One of the most popular natural and eco-friendly materials for quilts is bamboo due to its breathability and temperature-regulating, sweat-wicking abilities. Used in our Cooling Quilt and TempRite Quilt, bamboo is also hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant and antibacterial, making it a great all-rounder.

What are the most breathable quilts?

The most breathable quilts are those with natural fillings. These include sustainable bamboo as well as silk, cotton, goose down, linen and wool.

How Do I Know Which Quilt Filling Is Right for Me?

The right quilt filling is a matter of personal preference and sleep needs. If you like a fluffy quilt or doona, feather and down will give you the plumpness you’re after, while wool may feel cosy in a less fluffy way.

Hot and sweaty sleepers will want something breathable and moisture-wicking, like bamboo or wool. While silk is an ultra-luxurious choice that regulates temperature without weighing you down.

If budget and easy maintenance are your top priorities, synthetics may be suitable. But do try to look for more breathable options or combination fills like our TempRite Quilts’ polyester-bamboo blend.

What is the best quilt for winter in Hong Kong?

Winter temperatures do drop so you should be looking for a little more GSM (weight) for medium heaviness to keep you cosy and warm.

Our pick for winter at Ecosa is the Luxe Silk Quilt. We recommend purchasing both the summer and mid-season weights so you can use the summer one when it’s warm, the mid-season one in-between seasons or in winter — or even clip them both together for a cosy 850GSM when you need the extra winter weight.

What is the best quilt for summer in Hong Kong?

For comfort and hygiene during the steamy summer in Hong Kong, your quilt needs to be lightweight with a breathable, sweat-wicking fill. Natural fibres such as bamboo, cotton and silk are all good options.

A summer quilt will typically be in the lower GSM range, meaning it is a lighter, cooler, less dense quilt. Our Luxe Silk Quilt (Summer weight) has a pure silk filling and is 300 GSM — making it cosy yet light enough to prevent overheating.

Our TempRite Quilt is also a light 300GSM and designed for all-season comfort — temperature regulating and light enough for summer, but will also keep you cosy during winter.

What is an all-seasons quilt?

An all-seasons quilt is a quilt you can use all year round. Whether it’s a two-in-one quilt with different sections that can be clipped or zipped together (or apart) as the weather changes — like our adaptable Luxe Silk Quilt; or an all-rounder quilt with all-season fill that regulates temperature — like our TempRite Quilt, keeping you cosy and warm in winter and snug in lightweight comfort during summer.
