Quilt Bedspreads: Seven Listings Compared by Size, Fabric and Contents
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A quilt bedspread is a lighter layer than a comforter. It sits on top of the bed, often over a blanket, and it is used for looks as much as warmth. Most quilt listings are for a full/queen bed, and many of them include one or two shams. The differences that matter are the bed size the quilt is made for, the fabric, and whether the listing includes shams or only the quilt. This guide reads seven quilt listings by the details each one gives.
Quick answer
Start with the bed size. Most listings here are 90 by 96 inches, which is the full/queen size. A king quilt is larger, so check the dimensions before ordering for a king bed. Then choose the fabric by how you plan to care for it. Microfiber and polyester are the most common choices here, and cotton is listed for one option. Finally, check whether shams are included, since that changes the number of pieces you receive.
How we chose
Each entry uses the details saved for the listing: the stated size, fabric, color, pattern, included components, piece count and care line. Where a bullet point describes a feel or a design, the guide reports it as the listing’s wording. The guide does not describe how any quilt feels after washing and does not rank the quilts against each other. One listing in the group was left out because its product is a comforter insert rather than a quilt.
What we could not verify
Several listings do not give the weight of the quilt or the fill type, and some do not list the number of shams in the same field. Where a detail is missing, this guide leaves it out. Color names are the listing’s names, and the shade in a photo may differ from the one in your room. Warmth is not measured here, and the listing’s words about warmth or softness are the seller’s descriptions.
The seven listings
Love’s cabin: full/queen, coin pattern, bluish grey, with one sham
The Love’s cabin set is one quilt sized 90 by 96 inches, listed as full/queen, with a pillow sham. The color is a bluish grey and the pattern is a coin design in a western style. The fabric is listed as 100 percent polyester for the top, back and fill. Machine wash is the listed method. The bullet points describe a lightweight quilt with an embossed pattern, which the listing says suits a year-round bedroom. View the Love’s cabin quilt on Amazon.
akkialla: full/queen, olive green, with two shams
The akkialla set is one quilt at 90 by 96 inches and two pillow shams at 20 by 26 inches. The contents are three pieces in the count. The color is olive green and the pattern is coin. The fabric is listed as 100 percent microfiber. Laundering is listed as machine wash. The bullet points describe a brushed polyester surface, which the listing calls soft and durable.

Mybedsoul: queen, boho patchwork, blue, with two pillowcases
The Mybedsoul set is three pieces: one quilt at 90 by 96 inches and two pillowcases at 20 by 30 inches. The color is blue, the pattern is a plaid, and the style is listed as farmhouse. The fabric is microfiber. The bullet points describe the set as a patchwork design. The listing asks for machine washing. The set includes pillowcases rather than shams, so the look is slightly different from a set with shams. View the Mybedsoul quilt on Amazon.
Secgo: king, sage, 100 percent cotton, with one sham
The Secgo set is listed as king size, 98 by 106 inches, which is larger than the queen options in this group. The contents are a quilt and a pillow sham, three pieces in the count. The color is sage and the pattern is patchwork. The fabric is listed as 100 percent cotton for the back, face and filling. Machine washing is the stated care method. Cotton quilts are often heavier than microfiber ones of the same size, so check the weight line on the product page if warmth matters to you. View the Secgo king quilt on Amazon.
Bedsure: queen, basket weave, grey, with two shams
The Bedsure quilt is 90 by 96 inches, listed as queen, with two shams at 20 by 26 inches plus a 2-inch edge. The contents are three pieces. The color is grey, the pattern is a basket weave, and the fabric is listed as 100 percent polyester. The care line says do not bleach and machine wash. The bullet points describe a multi-layer brushed fabric, which the listing says is soft to the touch. View the Bedsure queen quilt on Amazon.
MURT: queen, peacock blue corduroy, with one sham
The MURT set is a queen quilt with one pillow sham, three pieces in the count. The color is peacock blue and the pattern is corduroy. The listing describes the fabric as washed cotton in its bullet points, while the fabric field gives polyester, so the two entries disagree. Check the fabric line on the product page before ordering if the fiber matters to you. The care line says machine wash. View the MURT quilt on Amazon.
FLYMME: full/queen, navy stripe, with two shams
The FLYMME set is one quilt at 90 by 96 inches, listed as full/queen, with two pillow shams. The color is navy and the pattern is striped. The fabric is microfiber, and the bullet points describe a brushed microfiber with a polyester fill. The care line says machine wash, tumble dry low, do not bleach and iron. That is the most detailed care line in this group, so read it before choosing if you dry on high heat. View the FLYMME quilt on Amazon.

The piece counts in the table include the quilt and the shams or pillowcases. The Love’s cabin and MURT listings show fewer pieces than the others, so check the components field before comparing them.
Quilt or comforter
A quilt is a lighter layer, usually stitched in a pattern that holds the filling in place. A comforter is thicker and is meant to be the main layer of warmth. If you want a bed that looks finished without much weight, a quilt is the better match. If you need warmth in a cold room, look for a comforter instead, and check the fill weight on the listing.
Sizing for your bed
Most quilts in this group are 90 by 96 inches, which covers a queen mattress with the sides and the foot of the bed. The Secgo king quilt at 98 by 106 inches is the largest in the set and is the only king option. Measure the mattress and the drop you want on each side, then compare that to the item dimensions on the listing.
If a quilt is too short, it will not cover the foot of the bed. If it is too long, it will pool on the floor. A little overhang on each side is usually the goal.
Care and washing
All seven listings say machine wash in some form. The FLYMME care line is the most specific: tumble dry low, do not bleach, and iron. The Bedsure listing says do not bleach. Quilts are often washed less often than sheets, but a heavy cotton quilt needs more space in the washer and takes longer to dry, so plan for that before you buy.
Checks to make before you order
Confirm whether shams are included. Some listings include two shams and others include one or none, and the look of the bed changes with the number of shams.
Check the fabric line. The MURT listing gives different fibers in different places, so confirm the fiber on the product page.
Confirm the size option on the page, especially for the Secgo king listing, which is much larger than the queen options.
Which quilt fits which bed
For a queen bed in a bedroom with neutral walls, the Bedsure grey basket weave and the Love’s cabin bluish grey quilt are the closest matches. For a bed with a color accent, the akkialla olive green, the Mybedsoul blue patchwork and the MURT peacock blue give more color. For a king bed, the Secgo sage cotton quilt is the only option in this group sized for a king.
