Cosy Home Anti-Allergy Hollowfibre Quilt

The Cosy Home quilt is filled with hollowfibre polyester, a synthetic fill that traps air inside the quilt and holds onto warmth. That trapped air is what does the work: it gives you loft and insulation without the weight of a natural fill, and it is the reason this quilt suits anyone who wants an anti-allergy option in the bedroom. The outer casing is a polyester and cotton blend, so it keeps the easy-care behaviour of a synthetic while borrowing a little of the softer handle that cotton brings. It comes in a spread of tog ratings from 4.5 up to 15, so you can pick the warmth that matches your room and the time of year.

A quilt like this is the everyday choice for a main bed, a guest room or a child's room, and the anti-allergy fill makes it a sensible pick for households where someone reacts to feathers or down. The lighter 4.5 tog is the summer weight, the middle ratings carry you through spring and autumn, and the higher togs are there for a cold winter bedroom. You choose your bed size and your tog together, so the quilt fits the mattress and suits the season in one decision. It sits inside your usual duvet cover exactly as any other quilt does.

The fill is hollowfibre polyester and the casing blends polyester with cotton. The quilt is machine washable, which is a genuine advantage of a synthetic fill: you can freshen the whole quilt at home rather than send it out, and it should be line dried afterwards. Being washable at home is part of what makes an anti-allergy quilt worth having, since regular laundering is how you keep allergens down. The Cosy Home range gives you the tog and the size to build the bed you want.
