Quilt Covers

What is a quilt cover and why do I need one?

A quilt cover is a protective fabric layer that encases your quilt, similar to a large pillowcase. It shields your quilt from body oils and everyday wear, helping extend its lifespan and reduce the need for frequent washing. It also makes it easy and affordable to refresh your bedroom look.

What materials are quilt covers made from?

Myer stocks diverse fabric types including breathable cotton, temperature-regulating linen, wrinkle-resistant microfibre, and silky bamboo with moisture-wicking properties. Each product page lists specific fabric composition to help you choose a cover based on comfort and care requirements.

What thread count should I look for in quilt covers?

Generally, 200-400 thread count offers good quality for everyday use, 400-600 provides increased softness and luxury, and above 600 offers premium quality with exceptional smoothness. However, fibre type, weave and finishing also affect comfort and longevity.

What quilt cover sizes does Myer stock?

Myer offers quilt covers in all standard Australian bed sizes including single, king single, double, queen, and king. Some premium collections offer super king options and most sets include matching pillowcases. Each product page clearly lists dimensions for the perfect fit.

What quilt cover brands does Myer stock?

Myer features Australia's most extensive range including premium names like Sheridan for hotel-quality luxury, KAS for contemporary Australian design, Linen House for on-trend patterns, and Bambury for affordable comfort. We stock international designer brands and exclusive Myer collections across all price points.

Do quilt cover sets include pillowcases?

Most quilt cover sets include matching pillowcases, though quantities vary by bed size. Single sets typically include one pillowcase, while double, queen and king sets usually include two standard pillowcases. Each product page clearly states what's included in the set.

How do I care for and wash my quilt covers?

Most quilt covers are machine washable. Wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Turn covers inside out to protect the finish, avoid overloading your machine to prevent wrinkling, and line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Always check care labels for fabric-specific instructions.

How often should I wash my quilt cover?

For optimal hygiene, wash your quilt cover every one to two weeks, similar to bed sheets. More frequent washing may be necessary during warmer months or if you have allergies. Regular washing maintains a clean sleep environment and extends the life of your bedding.

Can I check if a specific quilt cover is available at my local Myer store?

Yes. Use the "Find in Store" feature on any product page to check real-time availability at your nearest location. You can also use Click & Collect to purchase online and pick up in-store without waiting for delivery.

What is Myer's return policy for quilt covers?

Myer offers 30-day free returns for most items, provided they are unused, unwashed, and in original packaging with tags attached. For hygiene reasons, bedding should be returned unopened. Returns are accepted in-store or via post for convenience.
