Quilts
GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre, which refers to the weight of the quilt filling (more precisely the number of grams of filling per square meter - the more filling the warmer).
To make it easier to choose the right weight and warmth, many manufacturer's quote the GSM fill of the quilt.
As a rough guide :
• 150 - 250 GSM is best for Summer
• 300 - 400 GSM are regarded as Autumn and Spring weight
• 450+ GSM are considered best for Winter
• Four Seasons/ All Season quilts: Typically come with 2 quilts - 1 x light weight (Summer) and 1 x medium-weight (Spring/Autumn)
- when attached together and combined are ideal for Winter

Show your quilts some love by properly taking care of them.
Quick tips:
- Care tags - Your quilts have specific washing instructions, symbolised by icons on their tags - always make sure to check them before washing to prevent any damage.
- Striped sheets save time - It's impossible to mistake which side of the sheet is the long one once you know the direction they're supposed to run in. Save time and energy figuring out which way to put them on!
- Machine Washing - Front loading machines take much better care of your quilts when washing as they do not pull the quilts apart unlike agitating washing machines.
Taking care of your quilts (wash and care):
- Less is more - For any type of quilt, less washing is generally recommended best to prevent fading of colors or deterioration of fabric. For newer quilts that you use daily or regularly, you can opt to set your wash schedule to once per season, unless you have pets or stains that need urgent attention.
- Hand washing is king - Hand washing is the better option when it comes to cleaning your quilts, over machine washing. Machine-washing can cause the stitching to unravel regardless if your quilt is new or old.
- Machine Washing - Apart from opting for front loading washing, also make sure to set your washing machine to a gentle cycle, use cold water as well as a gentle detergent to minimize any potential damage that might occur.

Folding your fitted sheets keeps them organized - learn to fold them properly to keep them tidy and wrinkle-free.
Follow these instructions:
- First, lay the fitted sheet out with the elastic edges facing upward.
- Then, tuck the bottom corners into the top corners to match all corners together.
- Fold the fitted sheet in half vertically and make a rectangle.
- Fold the sheet in half again, make sure to tuck all the corners together to hide the elastic.
- At this stage, you have an L shaped corner where all the elastics should be. Fold it into thirds lengthwise to form a slim rectangle.
- Fold the sheet into thirds again, this time crosswise to form a compact square.
- Done! Your fitted sheet should look like a small square once complete.
