Choosing the right kind of quilt for every season is essential for a comfortable night’s sleep. A quilt that suits the weather it is being used in lets you rest in a peaceful slumber. If you’re looking to shop for quilts for the summer season but are unsure of which one would suit best, here are some tips that could help you make an informed choice.

Tog rating
The warmth that various quilts provide depends on their tog ratings. The higher the tog rating, the warmer the quilt would be. It has been suggested that a tog rating that reads anything below 7.5 is suitable for the warmer months of the year.

Material
The material that your quilt is made of plays a key role in ensuring the comfort of your sleep during the warm months of the year. Quilts made up of synthetic microfibers are best suited for those who suffer from allergies. Those made of natural materials usually come for a price in the higher-end for their ability to absorb moisture and regulate body temperature. Natural fabric is more breathable and lets the user enjoy a good night’s sleep. They also provide a luxurious feel to your bed. Silk is another material that is a popular choice for summer quilts as it can also help regulate body temperature.

Fillings
According to the preference of the sleeper, summer quilts can be filled with the help of synthetic fillings like pure microfibers or an added ingredient such as Amicor, which is a fiber with antibacterial and antifungal additives. If the sleeper wants to stick to a more natural filling, they can choose from feather fills for summer. It is also important that the fill is divided evenly through the length and breadth of the quilts picked.

Washability
It is likely that people sweat a lot more during the summer months, risking the hygiene of the quilt. You need to make sure that the quilt is easily washable and that its quality will not be hindered after every wash, especially during the summer season. It is also a plus if you get a dust-resistant quilt to prevent yourself from the hassle of frequent washing; however, this could cost slightly higher than a regular quilt.

Colors
Light colored quilts are likely to absorb much less heat than dark colored ones and thus would be a better choice for the summer.
