These Cool Summer Quilts Will Get You Through the Dog Days
In the smash Broadway musical Hamilton, Aaron Burr sings: “There’s nothing like summer in the city.” What was true in the late 18th century is certainly still true today. But we can all agree that there is one thing about summer that’s not entirely appealing—those uncomfortably hot summer nights (sadly, there are some things neither a ceiling fan nor an air conditioner can fix alone). The solution? A dependable summer quilt. So ditch your bulky comforters and duvets for the ease and breathability of one of the lightweight options we’ve rounded up below—any of these favorites will get you through every July and August from here on out.
