Hi, wool is a heavier fibre whereas this is made with a kind of fluffy microfibre/bamboo blend. So long story short, it should feel lighter compared to your wool one..
But is 800gsm supposed to be heavier than 700gsm regardless of the material?
Do you know the ACTUAL WEIGHT of this King Quilt?
@Bargain Fighter: So it seems to be a measurement of Grams per Square Meter.

According to the article, by working out the weight against the length/width of a towel, you can work out the GSM. So to answer your question, I suppose yes?
It's… 10% silk. Which is too little to really have any benefit, and enough to possibly make washing it problematic.
This is essentially just a normal-sounding polyester blanket, whether at $54 that's a good deal or not, I have no idea.
(I have 100% silk blankets, they are comfortably heavy and cannot be washed.)
Yeah. I saw the specs. I don't think 10% Silk would make any difference.
Do you still need a quilt on top of your 100% silk blanket for (peak) winter?
If it cannot be washed, you have to use cotton cover?
Bought a 90% Goose Down 2 weeks ago, I don't like it as it has a strong stinky poultry odour.
I haven't spent a winter here yet. Whether the the blanket is fine for winter varies on loads of things- silk blankets come in loads of different weights.
I have always used cotton covers (does anyone use duvets without covers?)
Regarding down blankets. One of the differentiators of quality that I have found is that the better/expensive brands do not have any smell. If there is a strong smell, in my experience it takes absolutely ages to abate. I guess the amount of processing has an impact on the cost of the down, so cheaper down = less washing.
Which one did you buy?
Thanks OP, purchased one. If it doesn't meet expectations I'll just convert it to a guest blank or something :)
Hi OP, do you have any heavy but cool quilts ?
I got a 700gsm Merino Wool, which is very heavy and I don't like its weight.
Even though it's microfibre and silk blend, it says 800gsm, does this mean it would be heavier than my Wool quilt?
