    Can anyone tell me if it’s worth coughing up the extra to get machine washable?

    • itstuan on 17/09/2021 - 20:04

      I think it'll be worth it as it costs ~$20-30 per dry cleaning. Providing your washing machine big enough for the quilt.

    • Deadalready on 17/09/2021 - 20:14

      Realistically no, I doubt you have a washing machine that's big enough to house a quilt…

      Recently I had my nephew throw up on my bed and it cost me $37 to dry clean, it sucked but made the realise that my quilt was too big for any consumer level machine.

      • itstuan on 17/09/2021 - 20:23
        +7

        Even if your washing machine not big enough, you can wash it at the public laundry for about $4.
        I think 9-10kg consumer machine would be sufficient however.

    • Wolfy on 17/09/2021 - 21:01

      We wash ours easily enough in a standard sized front loading machine.

      Find it useful since we only use the heavy-weight wool in winter and it's good to have it clean before storage.
      Want to buy another machine washable for the little one now.

      • BargainGeezer on 17/09/2021 - 22:36

        Yeah that’s exactly the scenario I was thinking, so thanks!

      • tlc72 on 18/09/2021 - 12:36

        how big is your front loader out of interest? wondering if a 8kg bosch front loader is big enough

        • Wolfy on 18/09/2021 - 13:21

          Its not bigger than 8kg I dont think (not at home due to covid stuff to check)

          • janeymac on 19/09/2021 - 16:14

            @Wolfy: And what size amd weight is your quilt? Just asking because we have a 350GSM king size that doesn’t fit into our 8kg washer. Would love to find a wool doona that fits.

            @staceyasinme: It looks like a normal blanket, with diamonds sewn across it to pocket the wool, just heavy AF.
            I've had mine dry cleaned and I must admit it doesn't feel as warm as it was, but I guess if I shake the jesus out of it it'd be like before.

            @staceyasinme: Compared to all the other types of quilts I've ever owned, this is the fluffiest thats also functional.

            I've had fluffier from Kmart (the 'poly fill' type) but they do NOTHING as a blanket, and get all balled-up and lumpy.

          Seconded. 700GSM king, and 2x 700GSM Doubles to QLD, and they're the best blankets I've ever owned.

          The fact that wool regulates temperature more than locks it in, means I only had about 2 weeks of summer, where I couldn't have it at least ON the bed.

          • 2ForTheMoney on 18/09/2021 - 10:51

            @MasterScythe: Thirded. Was using an average cheap quilt with two blankets. Bought a queen 700gsm about 3 months ago and it's been brilliant. So warm and cosy. No need for any blankets.

    Any advantages over Merino wool vs normal wool quilt?

    • itstuan on 17/09/2021 - 20:27

      It's from merino sheep, hence the name. Generally they say it's lighter and more gentle. Not sure about the warmness.

    • spaceflight on 18/09/2021 - 10:49

      75% of Australian sheep are merino so it's just what we have to make things with

    Harris Scrafe always have them quilt on 50% sale. Does anyone know the differences between brands?

    • MasterScythe on 17/09/2021 - 20:40

      I'd imagine mainly the name.
      When someone like woolcomfort makes a flawless quilt, I'm not sure what you can add 'feature wise' that would make another one better.
      You can't get 'fancy' with the coveringas, because it needs to be thin and breathable for the 'wool effect'.

      I'm really not sure what to tell ya, because I'm not sure what 'features' you expect :)

      • itstuan on 17/09/2021 - 20:46

    Thanks op, good find

  • Fredorishi on 17/09/2021 - 20:46

    I never quite understand how these "Aus made" "pure wool" quilts go for $50-$100 whereas other companies charge $400+ for seemingly exactly the same thing. I could understand if one was made in China or the materials were hugely different. But how much different can the wool in a quilt be? Not dissing this company or any other at all, just curious about the difference.

    • MasterScythe on 17/09/2021 - 20:53
      +5

      Purely markup.
      You can often get them right 'in the middle' of the two price points at tourist 'wool sheds' where they shear and make them (mostly) on site.

      Wool isn't SUPER expensive.
      I agree, this is cutting some stupidly thin margins, but not impossible.

      This company is quite forthcoming to visit their factory if you really wanted to.

      You can tell there's minimal man power on the floor too; because while the quilt quality is flawless, the machine run-off threads and such are all un-trimmed.

      I love mine.

      • Fredorishi on 18/09/2021 - 00:06

        Yeah, not doubting the claims. And I get mark-up to some extent. But 3/400% just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I mean, you look at Aus made/merino/wool clothing and its expensive wherever you buy it. Maybe a 50% variance but not 300. Ah well. Some companies obviously have good marketing too I guess.

        • greatlamp on 18/09/2021 - 10:42

          Retailer margins in textiles are huge. $300 nikes being made for $20, $1000 suits being made for $100.

          The manufacturer makes next to nothing, the brand makes a fat margin to cover marketing and distribution, then the retailer adds their own margin on top.

          If I had to guess, this is a factory selling their own products, and the prices here would still be much higher than what they would receive filling a contact order for a brand name product

          • Fredorishi on 18/09/2021 - 12:00

            @greatlamp: Yeah, factory-direct makes some sense of it I guess. And I understand people paying for brand names in clothing, but quilts? And your Nike and suit examples (probably) are made overseas where as im trying to compare Aus made to Aus made.

        • spaceflight on 18/09/2021 - 10:52

          Clothing is easier to mark up because it is fashion and marketing works better on fashion because it can change how we feel when wearing the brand.

          • Fredorishi on 18/09/2021 - 11:57

            @spaceflight: Hence my mild confusion at the large difference with quilt prices.

            • greatlamp on 18/09/2021 - 12:27

              @Fredorishi: The strength of the brand may not be on attracting consumers in this case, but on the network and distribution channels they have set up with big retailers. The same umbrella company will control multiple brands across a number of different product categories.

              Department stores like Myers doesn't want to manage relationships with 100s of small manufacturers, when an umbrella company will offer them a range of products (i.e bedding + kitchen + dining), no shipping costs, replacement/updating stale product lines, and long credit terms.

              The alternative is the Kmart/Aldi model, dealing directly with manufacturers but controlling the design, branding, packaging and distribution in house.

              You would think in the age of internet shopping, factory direct would have a revival and the middle man would be cut out of the capitalist model, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

              • spaceflight on 18/09/2021 - 13:47

                @greatlamp:

                You would think in the age of internet shopping, factory direct would have a revival and the middle man would be cut out

                Because people still like being able to see, touch and try things before purchasing them. Plus being able to have it straight away and not wait for delivery.

                You can't do that with an online store

    Do wool quilts feel as soft and fluffy as down quilts? Are they similar lightness in weight? I'm just wondering how it compares as I currently use down quilts but I am wondering whether this would be a better option for a child. Thanks

    • Tuanovano on 17/09/2021 - 22:09

      Wool and down quilts are very different. Wool is heavier and tends to fit closer to your body. Down is warmer and much lighter but it's warmth level depends on the percentage and quality of the down, and goose down is warmer than duck down.

      • Colombian on 17/09/2021 - 22:59

      I'm as curious as you on this. The one thing I've noticed so far is that the fluffier the quilt is, the less likely it will bunch up. Probably just due to the quilt trying to expand outwards as much as possible

      LPT. Get the King even for a queen bed. It drapes down the sides but not to the floor and keeps you really warm. Also, in a bed frame, you can tuck the end down between the bed frame and mattress for a good seal.

      This is also my tip for bed sheet sets. Buy separates and get a king flat sheet for the top on a queen bed. Easier to make and more comfy to sleep under. Less impact from a partner pulling sheets off you.

  • placard on 18/09/2021 - 09:37
    +2

    I bought this last time and erred on the side of caution buying the 500 one. Glad I did. It's perfectly warm, and even a little too warm at times. Imagine the 700 would be too warm. I feel the cold too and in Melbourne.

    I didn't buy the machine washable one but I'm not fussed. I've washed many 'dry clean only' things in my front loader on a hand wash cycle with wool wash soap and it's been fine.

    I also didn't want the scratchy noise as it moves as people were claiming the machine washable one did.

    As with all doona, go one size up from your bed so it hangs over enough.

    • Danam on 18/09/2021 - 11:10
      +1

      Feel free to ignore this advice but I had a fantastic wool quilt (another brand) that was went through a gentle cycle using wool wash and the fibers matted themselves into hard felt clumps. Each quilted pocket had a hard lump of felt. No amount of shaking or prying could recover the wool. I don't think the option to ignore the dry clean only warning applies to loose, un-coated wool fibers.

      I too will likely buy a non-machine-washable one again because I worry that coating the fibers in polyurethane will spoil the qualities of the wool.
      But I'll either never wash it, or dry clean it if I'm desperate.

      • spaceflight on 18/09/2021 - 13:48
        -1

        That's because wool quilts designed to be washed have a different wool in them compared to dry clean only quilts (the wool is treated differently)

      • placard on 18/09/2021 - 14:04

        Fair enough. I might not tempt this one then.

        In saying that, I always use a doona cover and rarely wash the doona itself. Once or twice per year I will take it outside and hang it in the sun to air/get some UV.

    Can people who have this already advise how is this wool quilt different from having a blanket? Like what are the pros and cons?
    We have been using blanket for years and even machine washing them in our 10kg top loader.
    I am inclined to know what benefit will this offer over blanket? Like lighter or more fluffier? 8 am thinking of getting 700gsm.

    • MasterScythe on 18/09/2021 - 17:48
      +1

      It's hard to describe, but wool is an insulator, rather than a…. sealer?
      Where a blanket traps the heat insice your sleeping area, a woolen quilt simply slows the air-flow (the thicker, the more dramatically).

      This means, in winter, if you have a hot shower, and go to bed warm and snug, your body will be able to regulate that temperature much easier.
      While its still unlikely you want a quilt in summer, at least in spring, if you LIKE having a cover on, it also means you can KEEP using it for longer; since until it's stifling hot, it's still allowing circulation.

      Basically, it eliminates the 'kick the blankets off' because your hot, then wake up cold, risks.

      I used to have a 3 layer system: Mink Blanket, regular poly doonah, mink blanket. and I'd often still need long pants in winter.
      This winter? With the 700GSM wool quilt? I didn't even need PJ's; just boxers and 1 blanket.

      I havent made quite as happy a purchase in a few years :)

    • Chiang on 19/09/2021 - 08:02

    How do you wash quilts like this? I have a couple King size ones (and they’re great, this brand is awesome) but I’ve never washed them.

    How often do I need to wash them?

  • Danam on 02/10/2021 - 14:55

    I received my King 700gsm today (13 days to metro Melbourne). I did not order a 'machine washable' one. On the tag it says "Warm gentle machine wash separately." Does anyone know if I accidentally received a machine washable quilt, or do they print that on all of them?

    • staceyasinme on 04/10/2021 - 20:52

      I got the same. When I sent them a message on eBay I got this response: "Sorry the dry clean one is out of stock atm. Our factory will only open next week so we use the machine washable one to replace it. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please don't hestate to contact us if you have any questions."

      I purposefully bought the dry clean one to avoid the rustle noise. I've messaged them back asking if I can swap it so I guess we'll see.

        Same situation for me. They didn't seem to recognize that they did anything wrong. I tried to find out how they make their wool washable, but only got a cut-and-paste description of hot water 'pre-shrinking' from another website. It took so long to arrive I suppose I will just cop it.

        Did you swap yours?

          Yup. New one arrived Thursday but I need to pick it up from Australia Post.
          Was not fun to pack back up though. Can let you know how I find the difference once i get the new one.

            @staceyasinme: That would be great to know. I feel like the Japara cover seems to contribute most to the rustling noise, rather than the filling. I would describe the washable filling as a little 'crispy' though, rather than super soft.
