Quilts

GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre, which refers to the weight of the quilt filling (more precisely the number of grams of filling per square meter - the more filling the warmer).

To make it easier to choose the right weight and warmth, many manufacturer's quote the GSM fill of the quilt.

As a rough guide :

• 150 - 250 GSM is best for Summer

• 300 - 400 GSM are regarded as Autumn and Spring weight

• 450+ GSM are considered best for Winter

• Four Seasons/ All Season quilts: Typically come with 2 quilts - 1 x light weight (Summer) and 1 x medium-weight (Spring/Autumn) - when attached together and combined are ideal for Winter
