Quilts & Doonas

Shop Affordable Quilts, Doonas & Duvets

Cheap quilts, doonas and duvets are the primary warmth layer on any bed, sitting inside a quilt cover that protects them from daily wear and keeps them looking fresh between washes. This range of affordable doonas and quilts covers goose down feather, bamboo, microfibre, faux mink, merino wool, down alternative, and siliconized constructions across all-season and dedicated winter options. GSM ratings across the range run from 200GSM through to 800GSM, giving you a clear starting point for comparing weight and fill density before buying. All quilts and doonas in this range follow Australian standard sizing, so dimensions align with local bed sizes and doona covers without needing to cross-check. For households that want an extra layer on top rather than a heavier inner fill, blankets are available separately across the bedding range. Customers consistently rate Factory Buys for value and fast delivery across Australia.

What Does GSM Actually Tell You About a Quilt?

GSM stands for grams per square metre and describes the weight and density of the fill inside the quilt. A higher GSM means more fill material packed into each square metre of the quilt's surface, which generally produces a heavier, denser feel. A lower GSM results in a lighter, more compressible quilt that sits closer to the body with less loft.

Understanding GSM is more useful than fill type alone when comparing options, because two quilts with different fill materials but similar GSM ratings will behave more similarly than two quilts of the same fill at very different GSM weights. The 200GSM options in this range suit warmer sleepers or milder climates. The 700GSM and 800GSM options are built for warmth and suit cold rooms or winter use. Pairing any of these with a well-fitted set of sheets underneath and a doona cover on top gives you a complete, layered sleep system that is easy to maintain.

All-Season Quilts vs Seasonal Quilts: Which Makes More Sense?

All-season quilts and doonas use a construction designed to regulate temperature across a wider range of conditions rather than optimising for a single season. They typically achieve this through a mid-range GSM and a fill that manages airflow, such as bamboo or siliconized fibre. The practical advantage is that you do not need to store and rotate quilts between seasons, which suits households that prefer a simpler bedding setup.

Seasonal quilts take the opposite approach. A dedicated winter doona is built for maximum warmth and uses a higher GSM with denser fill. A lighter summer option prioritises breathability over insulation. If your bedroom temperature varies significantly between summer and winter, keeping two quilts and rotating them gives you better performance at each extreme than a single all-season option can provide. Adding a mattress protector beneath the sheets keeps the mattress in good condition regardless of which quilt sits on top.

Shop Quilts & Doonas by Bed Size

Quilt dimensions should match your doona cover size first, and your bed size second. If your doona cover is a standard queen, a queen quilt is the correct fit regardless of whether the bed frame itself is a queen or a different configuration. Sizing up gives more side drop; sizing down reduces it and may cause the quilt to pull off one side of the bed during the night.

With over 100 options across multiple pages in this range, browsing directly within your size is the most efficient approach. Single quilts and king single quilts cover the most compact configurations. Double quilts suit shared smaller bedrooms and spare rooms. Queen quilts represent the largest selection in this range and cover the most common Australian household bed size. King quilts are worth filtering directly if you have a king-sized bed, as the dimensions differ meaningfully from queen sizes. For the largest configuration, super king quilts cover that size specifically.

How do you choose the right warmth level for your season?

Choose warmth based on your bedroom temperature and how warm you naturally sleep. Lighter quilts suit summer or warm rooms, while higher warmth ratings suit winter or cold homes. If you want one quilt year-round, look for a medium option and adjust with sheets or blankets. Check each listing for warmth or tog style guidance where provided.

What quilt size matches your bed and doona cover dimensions?

Factory Buys only stocks Australian sized mattresses and bedframes, so start by matching the quilt size to your Australian bed size. Then confirm the quilt’s length and width on the product page and compare it with your doona cover dimensions, as covers can vary between brands. If you like extra drape on the sides, consider sizing up where suitable.

Which filling suits you best: down, wool, bamboo, or microfibre?

Down suits shoppers who want warmth with a lighter feel, while wool is known for temperature regulation and can suit year-round use. Bamboo fill can feel breathable and suits people who prefer a softer, lighter loft. Microfibre is usually low-maintenance and can be a practical everyday option. Use the listing to confirm fill type, weight, and any allergy notes.

What washing and drying instructions should you check before buying?

Before purchasing, confirm whether the quilt is machine washable, the recommended wash temperature, and whether tumble drying is allowed. Some fills need gentler cycles or extra drying time to prevent clumping. Also check whether the listing recommends a larger-capacity machine. Matching the care requirements to your laundry setup helps avoid damage and keeps the quilt performing well.
