Laura Ashley Home - Queen Quilt Set, Reversible Cotton Bedding with Matching Shams, Pre-Washed Home Decor for Added Softness (Flora Blue, Queen)

I've been using the Laura Ashley brand quilts for over 5 years in our two short-term rental properties, which mean the quilts get washed at least once a week and on a higher temperature than the recommended "cold" wash. The designs and high quality all cotton construction at the price point (they are often on sale on Amazon) are what attracted me and I've not been disappointed. Even with the frequent washing, the colors and fabric hold up well and you wouldn't know they are now over 5 years old. They have held up much better than some all cotton quilts I've purchased from Costco. The reversible patterns are a bonus as they look nice when "turned down" on the bed and you can also change them up, e.g. in our twin rooms we often make the beds up with one quilt side on one bed and the other quilt side on the other bed. I have been so pleased with them that I ordered this pattern when we upgraded our own bed from a queen to king. Given the two dogs and two cats who share our bed, I needed a quilt that would hold up to weekly or more frequent washing so after looking at more expensive options, I decided to go with a brand that I knew had a good track record. I am so pleased with this design, the scattered flowers (with more at the bottom than the top) give the quilt a unique, more modern take on the more traditional floral Laura Ashley patterns. On our mattress (13 inches) the king size just barely covers each side of the mattress, I would prefer a longer drape but it seems like a common feature of king size quilts with the higher mattresses these days. It's not a deal breaker in my mind but if you are someone who prefers a really well "dressed" bed with quilts flowing to the floor, this would not be the one for you. To be clear, this is a lightweight cotton quilt. It is not going to keep you cozy in the winter unless you use it with heavier blankets and/or a duvet. But this is why I love these quilts, because of the versatility. I use them on their own or with a cotton blanket on top in the summer and in the winter I put them on top of a duvet in a plain white duvet cover or underneath a heavier cotton or fleece blanket. The weight works well for us as my husband always sleeps hot anyway so likes the lighter weight and I often just use a twin size blanket on top of the quilt on my side if I want a bit more warmth. The advantage of the lighter weight comes when washing, it doesn't take forever to dry in the dryer or on the line. If you are looking for a lighter weight quilt that holds its color and texture with frequent washing, you will not be diappointed with the Laura Ashely quilts.

This comforter is very beautiful. And I love the fact that the outer is 100% cotton.

Beautiful! Nice quality as typical of this brand.

Sorry, but this one is not LA quality! I love the print and it's nice and light for the summer, but it barely covers my king size bed. YES, you definitely need a bedskirt and the sides barely cover the mattress. For the price of this quilt, I would've expected it to cover the bed.

Laura Ashley yes please !!! I was so impressed with this quilt. It’s soft. Light, warm, and all cotton! It pulls my bedroom together nicely. I also love that I can wash it in the washer and dry it in dryer!! So convenient. It looks like new. The shams are beautiful too giving my bed a beautifully put together look.

Very pretty warm weather quilt. Lovely soft shades of blue with a true bright white background (no off-white/yellowish tones). Could be a little softer but I suspect will get softer with repeated washings. Shipped direct from manufacturer. Supposed to take a week to be delivered but arrived in two days! If you like this style of bedding highly recommend. Great value for the money

Way too small! I was surprised. Quality not that great. I ordered the queen and it would fit a full as far as width, but as far as length I don't think it would fit a twin. Quality is just ok, but not for the price.

I love Laura Ashley products, but some of her bedspreads have been slightly rough to the touch. I love blue, so when I saw that this was considered softer than most cotton bedspreads, I was excited to see if it was really true. I was not disappointed. It is soft right from the package, but I also first washed it with some natural fabric softener and it became even more soft. I used to use polyester fuzzy blankets on my bed because they were so soft, but I switched to all natural, so I was excited to have a bedspread that was cotton, natural, AND soft! And yes it is short on the sides, but that is because it is really not bedspread but a quilt or coverlet. You will need a dust ruffle to go with it. It is a medium to lighter weight that works well for both summer and winter. You will probably not even need a blanket, as this works well as a blanket too.
