    Best quilt for kids

    Need to buy a quilt for my girls as I'm upgrading to big girl beds. I'm so confused about what type of quilt. Wool? Duck down? Goose down? I want it to be all year round

    Any suggestions?

    Having the same dilemma. Am thinking something cheap as it'a bound to get vomited or weed on at some point!

    I can't remember what the one I bought is made from, but it was the only one that was machine washable and able to be tumble dried. As surprised mentioned, I figured I'd need to be able to wash it quickly and easily if need be...

    Nothing synthetic, and low allergen.

    I would go for a light weight wool quilt for the best all-season choice. Children are generally warm sleepers but depending upon where you live it may be too cold in winter still, or too hot in summer.

    I would recommend wool too. Ours we use all year round except those middle of summer days where it doesnt get below 32 at night.

    sent from my watzamajig so may not make sense....

    I went for a cheaper one when they were little so I could chuck it in the wash when it got weed/pooed/spewed on. I recently upgraded DD1s to a wool one as hers is now less prone to hazardous contaminations lol.

    We've got Sheridan junior - "My First Quilt". Machine washable and dryer ok too I think. They are excellent. Keeps DD toasty warm in winter and great for summer. DS soon to upgrade to one
