what is a quilt?

Starting with the basics, a quilt is simply a thick, padded blanket that’s designed to be slept under. They’re traditionally made with three layers – a bottom layer of solid fabric, a padded ‘batting’ or middle layer, and a top layer of the same fabric used for the bottom. 

The batting is what gives a quilt its warmth, using wool, down, feathers or a synthetic alternative to retain heat while keeping out cold. Traditional quilts often feature a decorative top layer made from cotton or polyester, while modern sleeping quilts are generally designed plain and styled using a cover.

how many pillows should you sleep with?

An age-old question that’s no doubt led to a disagreement or two – people are constantly trying to find the perfect number of sleeping pillows. You might be surprised to learn that there’s no right answer, and the best number of sleeping pillows varies from person to person, depending on your body size and how you sleep.

If you sleep on your side, you may need two pillows – or just one that’s especially thick – in order to give your head, neck and shoulders adequate support. Your pillow(s) should be thick enough to completely fill the space created between your shoulder and mattress when sleeping on your side.

Back sleepers tend to benefit from a slightly thinner pillow than side sleepers, as less support is required to keep the neck and spine aligned. If you sleep on your stomach, you might feel better with a flat pillow – or even none at all. The key to a healthy sleep is making sure your neck and spine are in as direct an alignment as possible, so play around with pillow arrangements until you find something that works.
