Kmart quilts are quilted bed coverings sold by Kmart Australia, typically used over sheets and blankets to provide warmth, comfort and decorative layering on a bed. In simple terms, a Kmart quilt is a light to medium‑weight bedspread with stitching that holds the filling in place, offering both function and style for everyday sleep and seasonal layering.
Here’s why Australians often search for Kmart quilts: they are known for affordable pricing, simple designs and practical warmth, making them a popular choice for guest bedrooms, kids’ beds, guesthouses, rental properties and everyday homes. Quilts in Australia are useful for cooler seasons or transitional weather, and they can be paired with duvets, blankets or throws for personalised comfort.
In this guide, we’ll cover the styles and varieties of quilts available (especially at retailers like Kmart), how to choose one, their benefits and use cases, House of Isabella recommendations for styling and layering, 2025 trends for Australian bedrooms, practical styling tips and related glossary terms.
Although Kmart is a specific retailer, the term “Kmart quilts” often refers generally to the affordable quilt styles popular in Australia. These include:
Lightweight quilts suitable for spring through autumn.
Often made with synthetic fill and soft covers.
Easy to layer with throws or blankets.
Medium to heavy warmth rating for cooler climates.
Provides extra insulation without needing a heavy doona.
Different colours or patterns on each side.
Offers dual styling options in one piece.
Diamond, box‑stitched or linear quilting for visual interest.
Adds subtle texture to bedroom décor.
Stripes, florals, geometrics or colour blocks.
Works well on kids’, teens’ or guest beds where fun patterns are favoured.
Solid colours like white, cream, grey or beige.
Great for modern, minimalist and layered looks.
Extra length or width for larger beds (king, super king).
Provides more coverage and a tailored look.
In simple terms, Kmart quilts and similar affordable quilt styles give Australians multiple layering and styling options for everyday comfort and bedroom design.
Selecting the right quilt — whether from Kmart or another supplier — means balancing warmth, size, material and your bedroom’s aesthetic:
Light/All‑Season: Perfect for mild weather or warmer climates.
Warm/Heavy: Better for winter or cooler regions like Victoria and Tasmania.
Single/King Single: For kids’ rooms or guest beds.
Double/Queen: Standard for most adult bedrooms.
King/Super King: Extra width and length for larger beds.
Synthetic Fill: Affordable, easy‑care and hypoallergenic.
Cotton or Natural Fill: More breathable, often cooler and comfortable.
Blend Fill: Balances warmth and breathability.
Soft cotton or cotton‑blend covers offer breathability and comfort.
Polyester covers can be durable and easy to wash.
Check if the quilt is machine‑washable.
Quilts that come out of the dryer fluffy save time and fuss.
Choose colours and patterns that complement your bedding, wall colour and furniture.
Here’s why this matters: a well‑chosen quilt keeps you comfortable night after night, looks great with your décor and fits your lifestyle without needing constant upkeep.
Everyday Warmth: Offers cosy warmth without a heavy doona or blanket.
Layering Flexibility: Ideal for layering with throws, blankets and duvets.
Budget‑Friendly Comfort: Often more affordable than premium doonas.
Easy Care: Many affordable quilts are machine‑washable and low‑maintenance.
Decorative Layer: Adds texture, colour and design to a bed.
Kids’ Bedrooms: Quilts are easy to wash and replace when needed.
Guest Bedrooms: Offers immediate comfort for visitors without high cost.
Rental Properties & Airbnb: Practical bedding that looks fresh and presentable.
Transitional Seasons: Change layers from summer to autumn with lightweight quilts.
Layered Sleep Systems: Used over sheets and under throws for a designer look.
Here’s why Australians love quilts (whether from Kmart or similar stores): they’re versatile, simple to use and easy to care for, making them ideal for everyday life and seasonal changes.
At House of Isabella Australia, we believe bedding should be both comfortable and stylish. While Kmart quilts are an affordable entry point, pairing them with elevated décor and layering creates a designer bedroom experience:
Pair your quilt with high‑quality sheets and pillowcases from premium collections (Zaffero, Emac & Lawton).
Add a lightweight quilt cover or throw blanket for visual layering and extra warmth.
Use textured throws or cosy knit blankets over the quilt for depth and comfort (Florabelle Collection).
Mix and match cushions in complementary colours and fabrics (Gallery Home, OneWorld Collection).
A stylish bed frame anchors the look — timber, upholstered or minimalist frames elevate the simplest quilt (Gallery Home).
Bedside lamps or soft lighting from Café Lighting & Living accentuate bedding layers and create a warm, inviting sleep zone.
Under‑bed storage baskets or organisers help keep extra quilts, pillowcases and throws tidy.

Here’s why this matters: designer bedding layers make any quilt look intentional and stylish, lifting the look of your entire bedroom without breaking the budget.
Combining quilts with throws and cushions in mixed textures — bouclé, knits and linen — remains a top trend.
Soft neutrals, beige, taupe and muted greens are trending, allowing quilts to act as foundation layers for decoration.
Bedrooms are styled like sanctuaries, with layered quilts, chunky knits and ambient lighting.
Australians are increasingly choosing quilts with natural fibres, eco‑friendly fill and breathable covers.
Instead of swapping bedding entirely, layering quilts with blankets and throws adapts the bed for summer through winter.
Here’s why this matters: trending bedding styles make quilts functional décor elements, not just simple covers.
Start with fitted sheets, add your quilt, then place a lightweight coverlet or throw at the foot for depth.
Coordinate the quilt with your bedroom’s colour palette — soft tones for calm spaces, bold hues for accent points.
A smooth quilt looks lovely beneath textured throws and cushions for a designer feel.
Dark timber furniture or upholstered headboards (Gallery Home, OneWorld Collection) complement layered bedding beautifully.
Soft bedside lighting (Café Lighting & Living) brings warmth to layered quilts and bedding.
Greenery, woven baskets and wooden accents soothe and complete a cohesive bedroom design.
With these styling ideas, even a simple quilt becomes a key part of a polished, comfortable bedroom.
