Affordable Bedding: Quilts & Coverlets

Q. Hi Jordan,

I’m in need of a new quilt. The thing is, quilts are EXPENSIVE. Do you have any suggestions for sites with affordable bedding (ideally under $100) that’s also nice-looking? I was thinking of getting a white quilt…but maybe this is too boring? I dunno! Got any advice?

Best to you,

Marta

A. Bedding! One of my favorite topics. Here’s how I feel about it:

This is what I want. Not this one specifically – although it’s lovely – but anything from Anthropologie, really. Their bedding is just beyond gorgeous – so much so that I find the idea of actually buying something from them paralyzing, because I cannot decide which pattern I like best. Can’t do it.

But it’s also beyond expensive, and when one has dogs and babies and budgets, bedding that costs half a grand is not a very good idea.

I’m really just showing this to you because it’s so pretty. Moving on.


Next! Above is a quilt from Garnet Hill. I bought the blue quilt that’s on my bed right now from them a few years ago for about $150. Their prices have gone up over the years and are now around $250, but that’s actually not too bad of a price for a really nice quilt…and mine has held up fantastically for over half a decade now.

Still expensive, but worth considering. (Especially that style pictured above, which is called “Half Moon” and is a mix of 10 vintage-y prints.)

Now, let’s talk totally affordable but still pretty, which means let’s talk JC Penney ‘s Jaden Coverlet. It’s adorable, comes in a bunch of different soft colors, and is $50. Can’t beat that.

I hope that helps!

    I also recommend going to Marshalls/HomeGoods or TJ Maxx. I was at HomeGoods recently and saw DKNY and Cynthia Rowley quilts all for under like $80.

    I absolutely second the recommendation for TJ Maxx and Home Goods. They usually have a nice variety of designer quilts and comforters for a little more reasonable prices. I like The Company Store because they have such a wide variety of all things bedding for reasonable prices as well.

    Darn. Now I’m obsessed with that orange and way-too-expensive one!

    excellent question! i alternate between a DKNY urban garden duvet cover, a martha stewart trousseau duvet cover, and the blue quilt i mentioned in this post (in the summer months) – let me see if i can find some pretty options for you!

    Thank you SO MUCH for your response, Jordan! I am totally with you in the why-oh-why-do-I-not-make-enough-money-to-afford-any-bedding-from-anthro boat. Le sigh.

    I ended up heading over to a J.C. Penny near me to check out the bedding, and wandered into the neighboring Home Goods. Both had some really nice stuff, and I ended up picking something up for exactly my budget. I looove that half-moon quilt you posted though. I’m thinking I may need to start a little fund for a beautiful quilt, and that brand is definitely where I’ll look first when I’m buying again.
