Whether you call it a doona, duvet or quilt, the right doona is key to a comfortable night’s sleep. There’s nothing worse than climbing into bed after a long day and feeling uncomfortable beneath a doona of the wrong weight, size or material. On the other hand, the warm, soothing embrace of the right doona can provide comfort in a way that almost nothing else can.
But choosing a doona isn’t always a simple task. From feather and down to wool or polyester, there’s a number of different types of doonas—all with their own pros and cons. Some people can’t look past the fluffiness of feather and down while others crave the extra warmth and insulation of wool. While the best doona for one person might be the wrong one another, we can help you find some of the best overall doonas on the Australian market so that you can make the right choice for you.

The best doonas and duvets to buy in 2025
01
MiniJumbuk Everyday Australian wool quilt in white
from $200 (usually $399.99), Myer
Best for: wool doona, everyday, sustainability
Wool’s natural insulation, breathability and hypoallergenic qualities make it the preffered doona filling for many people. A good quality wool doona will keep you cosy without overheating—and it’s for this reason that MiniJumbuk’s Australian everyday wool quilt is a favourite around the Home Beautiful office. While it’s nice and cosy during the winter, it’s also breathable enough to use during the summer months.
Being an Australian brand, it’s also nice to know that MiniJumbuk’s wool comes from local woolgrowers on South Australia’s Limestone Coast. The 40-year-old Australian brand places a focus on having happy and healthy sheep, as well as supporting the local farming communities in the region.
The other great thing about wool is that it’s one of the more environmentally friendly doona filling options. Wool is both biodegradable and renewable, which makes it a more sustainable choice.
Key features:
- 100% wool filling
- South Australian wool
- Naturally non-allergenic
- Machine washable
- Made using Airlight Technology to retain heat
02
Deluxe dream 2-in-1 quilt in white
from $405.99 – $489.99 (usually $579.99 – $699.99), Myer
Best for: all seasons, 2-in-1
2-in-1 doonas feature a clever design that is made up of two seperate doonas that can be clipped together or used seperately. Being two different weights, you can use one doona during the summer and both clipped together during the winter. While there are a number of different versions on the market, the Sheridan Deluxe Dream is our pick for quality and price.
The quilt was designed for those who love the look and feel of a traditional feather and down duvet but want something easier to look after and less allergenic. The polyester filling contains a built-in antibacterial treatment to prevent any potential allergies while retaining that signature fluffyness of a feather and down.
The doona comes with sparkling reviews, with many reviewers praising the practicality of the 2-in-1 design and its surprisingly luxurious feel. While the price point is a little higher than an ordinary doona, it makes sense when you realise you’re getting a doona of three different weights in the same purchase.
Key features:
- Polyester filling
- 2 in 1 quilt
- Built-in antibacterial treatment
- Cotton cover
- Alternative to feather and down
Available at:
- $579.99 from Sheridan
03
Ecosa cooling quilt
from $208 (usually $260), Ecosa
Best for: hot sleepers
Those who wake up hot and sweaty will find more comfort in a doona that is designed with the purpose of cooling you down. One of the best on the market is Ecosa’s cooling quilt, which is cleverly designed with cooling technology and a sweat-wicking bamboo core that helps sleepers feel at least 2 to 5 degrees cooler in bed.
To get the benefit of the doona’s cooling fabric, Ecosa actually recommends sleepers use this doona without a cover. While it might feel strange at first, the doona’s ability to be popped in the washing machine should ease your mind about any hygiene issues. Additionally, all of the materials used in the cooling quilt are hypoallergenic and antibacterial—making it a great option for allergy sufferers.
The cooling quilt’s reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with many customers confirming that the cooling technology works even better than they expected.
Key features:
- Cooling design
- Bamboo core
- Antibacterial

from $1,449.99, Sheridan

While feather and down is certainly the most luxurious quilt choice, you do have to be careful about the ethics of the feathers. Luckily, this Sheridan quilt passes the ethics test with its Downpass label – a standard for ethically sourced down and feathers.
While the price tag is at the higher end of most budgets, the reviews speak for themselves, with most customers claiming that it’s worth every penny for such an indulgent night’s sleep.

Like all MiniJumbuk items, this quilt’s wool comes from local woolgrowers on South Australia’s Limestone Coast, meaning that your purchase is supporting local Australian farming communities. Another benefit of wool is it’s biodegradability, making this quilt a good purchase for yourself and the environment.
