Our design team researched the commonly used quilts and our research team investigated people’s likes and dislikes. What we discovered was that:
- numerous quilts are simply too heavy and too hot
- wool quilts were not too hot but were too heavy
- cheap polyester quilts were uncomfortable, too stiff and didn’t last long
- feather-type quilts rated poorly due to odour problems and allergy issues and prickly quills.
- silk rated very highly on all fronts except price, being very expensive.
It was clear to us that a fresh new approach to quilts was needed, one that took into account people’s sleeping preferences.
