Quilt Covers

Quilt Covers in Pakistan

A quilt cover is an empty case that your filled razai slips inside. Ours are pure cotton, and unlike most sets sold here they come with the bed sheet and cushion covers too, so the whole bed is dressed in one order. King cover measures 90 by 95 inches. Cash on delivery nationwide, delivery in two to six days, and a 7 day replacement window.

Does the razai come with it?

No. You are buying the cover, not the filling. The razai itself, the filled quilt you sleep under, is a separate purchase. If you need one, see our comforter sets, which come filled and ready to use. So why buy a cover at all? Two reasons that matter in a Pakistani home. You wash the cover, not the razai. A cotton cover goes in the machine every week. A filled razai goes out for cleaning once or twice a winter, if that. With a cover on, the cloth touching you is always fresh. And you can change how the room looks for the price of a cover rather than a whole new razai. Two covers gives you two bedrooms.

Quilt cover or duvet cover: what is the difference?

Almost nothing, and the market makes it worse. Both are empty cases for a filled quilt. Sellers here use the words interchangeably, and one of the largest brands in the country titles a product a quilt cover set while calling it a duvet set in the same description. What actually differs is what comes in the box. Our quilt cover sets include the bed sheet and cushion covers as well as the cover and pillow covers. Our duvet cover range is the cover with pillow covers only. So buy a quilt cover set if you are dressing the bed from scratch. Buy a duvet cover if you already have sheets you like.

What size do I need?

Measure your razai, not your bed. This is where orders go wrong. Our king cover is 90 by 95 inches. Sizes for single and double are on each product page. Now the part nobody warns you about. Size names mean very little in this market. A king quilt cover from one seller here measures 104 by 94 inches. Ours is 90 by 95. That is fourteen inches of difference on the same word. If you are replacing a cover you bought elsewhere, do not assume king means king. Lay the razai flat, measure across the width, then the length, and match those two figures. If your razai was made locally or the numbers fall between sizes, send them on WhatsApp at 0324 492 4274 and we will confirm before you pay.

What comes in the set?

More than most. A king set contains:

• One quilt cover, 90 by 95 inches
• One bed sheet, 90 by 95 inches
• Four pillow covers, 19 by 29 inches each
• Two cushion covers, 18 by 18 inches each

The usual set in this market is a cover and two pillowcases. Ours dresses the bed completely, which is worth knowing when you compare prices, because a cheaper set with fewer pieces is not cheaper once you buy the sheet separately.

How do you get the razai inside?

Everyone wrestles with this. There is a method that takes two minutes.

1. Turn the cover inside out and lay it flat on the bed, opening at the foot.
2. Lay your razai on top, matching the corners.
3. Tie the corner ties to the loops on the razai if both have them.
4. Roll the two together tightly from the closed end towards the opening.
5. Reach into the opening, take the two corners of the cover and fold them back over the roll, then unroll.

Shake once and it sits flat. No climbing inside, no shoulders in the cover. If your razai has no corner loops, any tailor will stitch four on in ten minutes. It stops the filling sliding to one end within a week.

Which fabric?

Ours are pure cotton, which is the sensible year round choice here. It breathes, it washes like a bed sheet, and it softens with use. Velvet covers are also sold in this market. They look rich and suit a formal room in December and January, but they hold warmth and take days to dry properly after washing. In a Karachi or Lahore summer a velvet cover is something you fold away rather than use. You will also see thread counts from 150 up to 400 on labels here. Up to a point a higher number means a finer cloth. Beyond roughly 400 it stops meaning much, because thin threads can be twisted together and counted separately. A well made 200 outlasts a poorly made 800.

Summer or winter?

Cotton works through the year. In summer many households use the cover on its own over a light sheet and put the razai away entirely. In December the same cover goes back over the filled razai. That flexibility is the practical reason to buy cotton rather than velvet if you are only buying one.

Washing and care

This is the whole point of owning a cover, so use it properly. Close the fastening before washing or the cover twists around everything else in the drum. Machine wash cold or warm, never hot. Wash dark shades separately for the first two or three washes. Dry in shade rather than direct sun, which fades colour fastest in a Pakistani summer. Iron on medium heat, and do not bleach. One thing worth saying plainly. A cotton quilt cover does not need dry cleaning. Send the razai for cleaning if it needs it, but wash the cover at home. That is the saving you bought it for.

Prices in Pakistan

Sets here run from around Rs 5,000 up to Rs 12,000 at the branded end. What moves the price is fabric, thread count, size, and how many pieces are in the set. One caution when comparing. Several sellers show every product permanently at half price or better. When a discount never ends, the higher figure is not a real price. Compare what you actually pay, and count the pieces, since a cover plus two pillowcases and a full set with the sheet included are different purchases.

The rest of the bed

Your cover goes over a filled razai from our comforter sets. Underneath, a waterproof mattress protector keeps the mattress clean. Extra cushion covers and bed sheets are sold separately, and if a pillow has flattened our pillow and cushion filling will bring it back.

Common questions

Does the razai come with the cover?

No. The cover is the outer cloth only. Filled razais are sold separately in our comforter set range.

What size cover fits my razai?

Measure the razai flat, width then length. Our king cover is 90 by 95 inches. Size names vary a lot between sellers, so measure rather than assume.

Does a bed sheet come in the set?

Yes. Our king set includes the cover, a bed sheet, four pillow covers and two cushion covers.

Can I wash it at home?

Yes, and you should. Cotton covers do not need dry cleaning. Wash cold, dry in shade, iron on medium.

Is velvet good for summer?

No. Velvet holds heat and dries slowly. Cotton is the year round choice in Pakistan.
