About Pinai Quilts — Hand-Quilted 200GSM Cotton
There is a warmth only a well-made cotton quilt can offer — not the synthetic heaviness of a polyester comforter, but a layered breathable warmth that feels exactly right. Pinai's quilt blankets are hand block-printed and hand-quilted in 200GSM natural cotton, designed for India's actual winters and air-conditioned environments year-round. Prices from Rs. 2,665.00 to Rs. 4,250.00.
What Is a Quilt Blanket?
A quilt sandwiches a batting layer between two fabric layers, stitched together to create warmth through trapped air. At 200GSM, Pinai's quilts are mid-weight — warmer than a dohar blanket, lighter than a heavy winter comforter. They work as an AC blanket in summer and as a primary winter layer for most Indian cities.

Quilt vs AC Blanket — Are They the Same?
An AC blanket is a functional category — any medium-weight blanket for air-conditioned environments. A quilt is a specific construction method. Pinai's quilts are both: hand-quilted 200GSM cotton that functions as an ideal AC blanket. The weight hits the sweet spot between breathable and warm, making it the right call for most Indian homes. Compare with our lighter dohar blankets for summer use.
Craftsmanship — Hand Quilting & Block Printing
Each Pinai quilt is hand block-printed first, then hand-quilted — two separate craft processes before a single piece leaves the studio. The block printing uses Sanganeri tradition motifs carved into teak wood blocks. The quilting stitches through all layers by hand, creating the characteristic warmth-through-air-pocket structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 200GSM mean for a quilt?
GSM stands for grams per square metre — a measure of fabric weight. At 200GSM Pinai's quilts are mid-weight: warmer than a dohar blanket but lighter than a heavy winter comforter. Ideal for AC rooms and light winters across most Indian cities.
Are Pinai quilts good for summer?
Yes if you sleep in a heavily air-conditioned room set at 20–22°C. For warm non-AC rooms in summer a dohar blanket is the better choice.
What makes the Dyed Quilt different from the others?
The Dyed Quilt uses natural plant and mineral dyes applied to the fabric before block printing creating a unique coloured base. Each piece is slightly different depending on the dye batch making it Pinai's most individual product.
Can I order Pinai quilts for corporate gifting?
Yes — quilts are a premium festive corporate gift. Bulk orders from 50 units are available. Enquire at pinai.in/pages/b2b-gifting.
