Brooklinen’s Washed European Linen Quilt Adds Warmth Without Weight for Effortless Fall Layering

I'm passionate about layering my bed. I never want it to look too polished, instead favoring a mix of textiles and patterns for a well-worn feel that instantly makes a bedroom feel cozy and welcoming.

Through summer, this commonly consists of lightweight textures, like silks and linens, which become heavier, thicker, and warmer as fall transitions towards winter. The Brooklinen Washed European Linen Quilt is the best of both worlds.

The beautiful stripes add a pop of vibrancy and personality, while the laid-back linen finish works to keep you warm while you sleep without overheating.

If you're someone who likes to keep up with the latest bedroom trends, you'll know that quilts are back, adorning the most stylish of sleep spaces. They're timeless, yes, but for far too long they've been commonly pushed to the back of closets in favor of more modern alternatives.

Not only are they a chic way to add some vintage-inspired charm to your bedroom, but they're also perfect for adding a light layer of warmth as the seasons transition from summer to fall. And if you're looking to invest in an iteration that will last for years to come, the Brooklinen Washed European Linen Quilt has gone straight to the top of my wishlist.

Made with premium certified European Flax, it has all the same features of linen sheets (and all my favorite and best bed sheets are linen), yet offers just a little more lightweight warmth for the cooler months. For that reason, it's an effortless layering piece for use all year round.

One reviewer, Katherine, describes this quilt pick as 'gorgeous,' and assures that it's lightweight enough for warm yet comfortable sleep, even in Texas. 'I actually can sleep with it on me without needing to kick it off through the night,' they explain.

In terms of year-round suitability, Brianna adds that it creates a feeling of 'vacation at home,' even during spells of warmer weather. 'Feels like I'm waking up on the Greek Islands! I'm obsessed with the stripes, and it's lightweight enough for the Spring and Summer months!'

This is also down to the clever design: one side is that textured one hundred percent linen, while the other is crisp percale, a fervent favorite for keeping cool as temperatures climb.

Quilts may get a bad rap for being difficult to care for, but this pick is also effortlessly easy to wash. Simply machine wash cold with like colors and tumble-dry low.
