Lilly Pulitzer Home Exclusively For Garnet Hill



This hand-quilted bedding adds cheer & elegance to the room. A shot of Palm Beach color & a dash of embellishment mixed with crisp forever-summer white — the ideal blend of fun & fashion. Soft cotton, including the binding & fill. Both colors reverse to green-and-white floral. Imported.

We love the pink color & the style of this quilt. It is light weight not heavy. I wasn't definite it would work when I saw it in the package but after I opened it, I fell inlove. It is charming & makes the bed simple to make.

Buying Guides (Bedding)

If you need a nice night's sleep, the right bedding is crucial. Finding the right bedding is a different process for everyone, but there's a few key things to know before you start your hunt. Take a glance at the bedding purchasing guide below to learn some valuable tips. What You Need to Know: 1. Comforters: Fill power is a measure of how plenty of cubic inches one ounce of down fills. A higher fill power means a down blanket will be fluffier and warmer. A fill power of 550 or more is thought about nice. Makers of down comforters usually use one designs to keep the down from shifting and clumping. A box-stitched down comforter has boxes stitched throughout that hold the down in place. A baffle-box stitch has gated baffles -- pieces of vertical fabric between the top and bottom of the comforter -- that run the length of the comforter to keep the down in place and permit it to keep its fullest loft. For those with allergies, down-alternative comforters are a great choice, and they will provide the same warmth as down comforters.
2. Comforter covers: Down comforters usually need special care and cleaning; often, they must be dry cleaned. To keep your comforter tidy for longer periods, purchase a quilt cover for it. In the event you need to decorate your bed as well as protect the down comforter, you can purchase bedding sets that include coordinating pillow shams and quilt covers.
3. Blankets: The most important aspect of any blanket is its fabric. Different fabrics obviously have different qualities of warmth and softness. For example, cotton blankets tend to be more breathable than those made from synthetic fabrics. However, synthetic fleece blankets tend to be lighter and softer. Wool blankets are additional warm. It all depends on your personal preferences. pay attention to things like weave and edging to make definite you receive a blanket that will hold up after years of use.
4. Quilts: When it comes to quilts, you can find colors and patterns to fit any decor you have in mind. And, plenty of quilts are handmade so that no one will be exactly similar, giving you a unique piece of bedding. If the quilt is machine washable, and most are, it will be simpler to maintain than a down comforter.
5. Extras: A few things will take your bed from bland to pretty. They are not necessary for a nice night's rest, but they will help you feel additional comfortable in your bedroom. A bed skirt will cover disagreeable box springs, finishing the look of your bed. Bed canopies will help you feel like you are sleeping in a palace. Possibly you need to take your bedroom design even further, from comfortable to, say, heavenly. If that is the case, think about featherbeds, which are fundamentally down-filled mattress pads. For quality featherbeds, apply the same principles as you do to down comforters. You can also purchase memory foam mattress toppers and other mattress covers with additional layers of softness.
