Winter is coming, and if you’re tired of waking up at 3 a.m. kicking off heavy blankets or shivering, you’re not alone. Every year, the same question pops up in every Indian home: Quilt ya blanket? Which one actually keeps you warm without turning you into a sweaty mess by morning?
Hi, I’m from The Jaipuri – the brand thousands of families trust for the softest cotton bed sheets and the most beautiful handmade Jaipuri quilts in India. Today, let’s settle this once and for all in the simplest way possible (no boring tables, just real talk).
First, What’s the Actual Difference?
A blanket is one thick layer – wool, fleece, or microfiber. It’s simple, affordable, and great for mild winters or layering. But in real Indian winters (especially Delhi, Punjab, UP, Rajasthan), it often falls short because it doesn’t trap body heat well and can feel heavy or suffocating.
A quilt (especially a traditional Jaipuri razai) is completely different. It’s made of two soft cotton fabrics with pure carded cotton filled and hand-stitched in between. That filling acts like millions of tiny air pockets that trap your body heat and keep you toasty – while still letting your skin breathe. The result? You stay warm without sweating.
And when that quilt comes from Jaipur, it’s not just warm – it’s lightweight, cloud-soft, and printed with those gorgeous traditional Rajasthani block prints you can’t stop staring at.
Why Jaipuri Razai Wins Indian Winters Hands Down
Everyone who’s ever slept under a real handmade Jaipuri quilt says the same thing: “Arre, itna light hai par itna garam kaise?”
That’s the magic.
Here’s why Jaipuri razai is famous across India:
- Feather-light (you can lift a double bed Jaipuri razai with two fingers)
- Insanely warm even in 4-5°C Delhi nights
- 100 % breathable cotton – no night sweats like with microfiber comforters
- Hand block-printed with natural dyes – looks like art on your bed
- Gets softer with every wash (yes, really!)
- Hypoallergenic and dust-mite resistant – perfect for kids and allergy sufferers
Normal quilts you find on big websites? Mostly machine-made with polyester filling. They’re bulky, trap moisture, and lose shape in one season. A cotton Jaipuri razai lasts 10-15 years easily.

How to Choose Your Perfect Jaipuri Quilt (Quick Buying Guide)
1. Check the filling – always go 100 % cotton, never polyester
2. Look for hand block prints – that’s the real Rajasthani touch
3. Pick size properly – single (60×90″), double (90×108″)
4. Decide warmth level – mild winter = 300-400 GSM, extreme cold = 600+ GSM
5. Buy only from trusted brands (like us 😉) to avoid duplicates flooding the market
Caring for Your Jaipuri Razai (So It Lasts Forever)
Super easy:
- Sun it once a month
- Spot clean small stains
- Dry clean once a year
- Never machine wash roughly – gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water
- Always dry in shade to protect colours
Do this and your grandkids will fight over who gets it!
Final Verdict: What Should You Buy This Winter?
- If you want simple layering → go for a good woollen blanket.
- If you want to sleep like a baby the entire winter, wake up fresh, and make your bedroom look straight out of a magazine → nothing beats a handmade cotton Jaipuri razai.
