Best Lightweight Summer Quilts: Stay Cool and Cosy All Night Long
Every Indian summer brings its set of challenges, power cuts, muggy nights and the never-ending hunt for a cool, comfortable spot to sleep. Heavy blankets are out. This year, families are switching to a better option: lightweight summer quilts. These aren't just practical, they're also stylish, breathable, and designed to keep you cool all night. Why are these quilts suitable? Well, to start with, they have exceptional breathability that prevents heat from getting trapped, helping to keep you cool and comfortable. And then they offer optimal temperature regulation as they provide just enough coverage to offer a sense of coziness without adding excessive warmth.
Goodbye to clunky, suffocating bedding that traps heat. Today's summer quilts focus on breathability, lightweight comfort and soft touch, all at prices that won't make your wallet sweat. Unlike regular blankets, these quilts use fine cotton or microfibre with low GSM (grams per square metre), meaning they feel airy yet cosy. And they aren't just practical. Fresh patterns and trendy colours make them a stylish addition to your bedroom. Even better, many are machine washable, so no more trips to the dry cleaner every time there's a spilt cup of chai.
A minimalistic geometric quilt, this dohar stands out for its ultra-light 110 GSM build. It's soft to the touch, fits a single bed perfectly, and is just right for air-conditioned rooms. The polyester microfibre filling adds fluffiness without overheating, while the grey and off-white palette suits modern décor. At ₹493, it's hard to find a better value for money for city bachelors or college students.
With a gentle beige and grey floral print, this double bed quilt is all about mild winter comfort.

Priced at ₹698, this one's a solid choice for families or couples who share the blanket tug-of-war.
If you prefer a fresh, calm look, the blue and cream abstract quilt fits the bill. The 300 GSM cotton build is soft, machine washable, and generous in size, making it ideal for mild summer nights or transitional seasons. At ₹1198, it gives both durability and style.
