I need to buy some new quilt/doona

[the_bob_delusion]

Does it make much difference the stuffing inside e.g. feather, wool, microfibre etc etc.?

If you are asthmatic then neither feather or wool is suitable as neither can be regularly washed.

In fact, if you are asmatic, then quilts will make your symptons worse.

I have asthma and have no problems with wool doona's.

I believe wool doonas are the best. Since they are encased in japara, they should be ok. Feathers are a different story.

What's Japara?

I wish they made doona covers out of that material like sloppy joes...that would be warm. What would that be called? I hate being cold and I freeze if it drops below 15.

[azureline**]

closely woven cotton fabric, prevents leakage of inside materials

Below 15! Im rugged up if it gets below low 20s.

I have a 100% goose down doona. It is so warm I only use it for the three coldest months of the year.

[just_me_karen]

Lol lis.

I think I know Japara now, AZ. But what's the warm cotton stretchy material in trackies or sloppy joes? Would it be too stretchy for a doona cover? And ugly? 😄

Some are dry clean only, check before buying if you want to wash it yourself.

I just went to Harris Scarff. Queen wool quilts for $75 apparently 50% off. Is that good value?

[imastawka]

 Trick question now bob - chinese wool?

But, yeah, good value   : - )
