Let's review King Size Quilt Covers:

What size is a king-size doona cover in Australia?

A standard king-size doona cover in Australia measures 245cm x 210cm. It’s the perfect fit for a king-size bed and offers a neat, tailored look. For more information on bed and quilt cover sizes, visit our Size Guide.

How do I choose the right king-size quilt cover for my bed?

Start with the basics: size and material. For a king bed, you want a quilt cover that matches your quilt dimensions—245cm x 210cm for a perfect fit. Then, think about material. Cotton is always a great choice for its breathability, while linen is ideal for a relaxed, airy vibe, especially in summer. Browse our Quilt Covers Collection for a range of styles and materials.

What are the benefits of cotton quilt covers for king beds?

Cotton quilt covers are durable, breathable, and incredibly easy to care for. They soften with every wash and are perfect for year-round use. If you sleep hot, opt for a percale weave, which has a crisp, cool feel. For something more luxurious, go for a sateen weave—it’s smooth and slightly heavier. Explore our Cotton Quilt Covers for options tailored to your preferences.

Can I buy a complete quilt and doona cover set for a king bed?

Absolutely! Quilt and doona cover sets for king beds are a great way to ensure everything matches. These sets typically include a quilt cover and two pillowcases. Some premium sets even come with matching European pillowcases for a polished, coordinated look. Shop our Quilt Covers Collection for complete sets.

What’s the difference between a doona cover and a duvet cover?

Honestly, there’s no difference—they’re just different terms. In Australia, we say “doona,” while “duvet” is the international term. No matter what you call it, it’s the same product: a cover to protect your quilt while adding a decorative touch to your bed. Check out our Blog on Quilt Cover Trends for style inspiration.

Are there specific Australian-made options for king-size doona covers?

Yes, and they’re worth looking for! Australian-made doona covers are often crafted from high-quality materials like locally sourced cotton. They’re also designed with our climate in mind, offering great breathability in summer and cosiness in winter. Learn more about our range of locally made bedding in our Tips and Care Guide.

What accessories should I pair with my king-size bedding?

To elevate your king-size bedding, start with European pillowcases—they add height and elegance to the bed. Then, throw in a coverlet for texture and warmth. Finally, a throw blanket across the foot of the bed ties the whole look together and adds an extra layer of comfort. Browse our Quilt Covers Collection for matching accessories.

Can I use a king-size doona cover on a super king bed?

You can, but it won’t give you the same polished finish. A super king bed is larger, so a king-size cover may not drape properly. For a tailored, luxurious look, stick to a Super King Doona Cover.

Are there any sales or deals for king-size quilt covers?

Absolutely—sales are the perfect time to upgrade your bedding without spending a fortune. Look for deals on neutral colours like white, grey, and beige, which are versatile and timeless. I’d also recommend bundles that include fitted sheets and pillowcases for the best value. Keep an eye on our Homepage for seasonal promotions and discounts.

What’s the best way to care for my king-size cotton doona cover?

Wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and cool water to preserve the fibres and colours. Line-drying is ideal, but if you need to use a dryer, go for a low heat setting. Always follow the care instructions on the label for the best results. Visit our Tips and Care Guide for more details on caring for your bedding.
