Accessorize 400TC Bamboo Cotton Quilt Cover Set | Queen | Stone

A queen size quilt cover set in a 60% bamboo, 40% cotton blend, woven to a 400 thread count in a sateen weave. Sateen weave produces a smooth, lightly lustrous surface that feels soft against skin and holds up well with regular washing.

The bamboo component is breathable and moisture-wicking, helping to regulate temperature through the night. The cotton component adds durability and structure. Double-stitched construction reinforces the seams and adds longevity. This listing is the Stone colourway, Queen size. The set includes 1 quilt cover and 2 standard pillowcases.

Frequently asked

The manufacturer describes this fabric as hypoallergenic — what does that mean?
According to Accessorize, this fabric is naturally hypoallergenic. It's worth noting that 'hypoallergenic' is not a regulated or standardised term in Australia — there is no official threshold a product must meet to carry the label. The manufacturer's claim reflects their own assessment rather than a certified standard.

What does the research say about quilt covers and dust mite allergies?
Published research consistently shows that allergen levels in quilts and quilt covers track overall bedroom allergen levels — meaning your quilt cover is part of the broader picture, not the whole answer. A Cochrane review found that single interventions in isolation show weaker results, while more recent research found that a comprehensive approach — combining mattress and pillow encasements, regular washing, humidity control and air purification — was associated with significantly greater odds of symptom improvement.

Should I use a quilt protector with this?
Yes. A dust mite proof quilt encasement creates a physical barrier between you and any allergens that accumulate inside the quilt fill over time. A quilt cover protects the surface of the quilt from soiling, but it is not a barrier against dust mites or their allergens. Browse dust mite quilt encasements to find one sized for your quilt.

How often should I wash my quilt cover?
Every one to two weeks is the general recommendation for bedding used by allergy sufferers. Regular washing removes accumulated allergens from the fabric. Refer to the care label for the recommended wash temperature before your first wash.

What's the difference between a quilt cover and a dust mite encasement?
A quilt cover is decorative and protects the quilt from surface soiling — but it is not a barrier against dust mites or their allergens. A dust mite encasement is made from tightly woven or membrane fabric specifically designed to prevent mites and allergens from passing through. If you have a dust mite allergy, an encasement is the functional product; a quilt cover is optional on top of that.

What's the single most important step for an allergy-aware bedroom?
Research points consistently to a comprehensive approach rather than any single product. The most effective setup typically includes:

• Dust mite encasements for your mattress, pillows and quilt
• Regular washing of all bedding
• A dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity below 50%
• An air purifier to reduce airborne allergen particles
• Allergen cleaning products for surfaces that can't be washed frequently
