Shop Alpaca QuiltsOnce treasured by Incan royalty, alpaca fibre was considered a sacred gift from Inti, the Sun God, and reserved exclusively for nobility. This rich heritage speaks to the enduring value and rarity of alpaca — one of the world’s most luxurious natural fibres.
Renowned for its silky texture, lightweight warmth, and exceptional breathability, alpaca is perfectly suited to high-end bedding. At Kelly & Windsor, we uphold this legacy of quality by selecting only the finest alpaca fleece, meticulously inspected and approved to meet the exacting standards of our signature bedding collection.
While many natural fibres are used in quilts today, alpaca stands out as a rare and luxurious option.
For centuries, alpaca fleece has been prized in fashion and textiles for its softness, warmth, and elegance — yet its use in bedding is a relatively recent innovation.
Prior to the early 2000s, alpaca quilts were virtually unheard of, with only a few dedicated breeders crafting handmade versions for personal use.
Kelly & Windsor proudly pioneered the commercial development of alpaca quilts in Australia, bringing this exceptional fibre to the forefront of premium bedding.
One of the key benefits of natural fibres like alpaca is their ability to gently absorb moisture from your body as you sleep. This helps maintain a dry and comfortable sleeping environment, which is essential for a restful night.
Synthetic materials such as polyester may feel warm at first, but they don’t manage moisture well — often leading to a stuffy, less comfortable sleep.
Staying dry helps you stay warm during cooler months and comfortably cool when it’s warmer, making alpaca an excellent choice for year-round bedding.
Known for their soft, luxurious feel, alpaca fibres have a smooth structure that enhances comfort against the skin.
The fleece is naturally lightweight thanks to its semi-hollow structure, which helps trap warm air while maintaining breathability. On a weight-for-weight basis, alpaca is approximately 25% warmer than wool, providing cosy warmth without added bulk.
It’s also incredibly resilient, with excellent loft and long-lasting durability when properly cared for. Naturally free from lanolin, alpaca fleece is non-allergenic and ideal for those with sensitivities. It’s also flame retardant and chemical-free, making it one of the most environmentally conscious choices in natural bedding.
Natural fibre quilts like alpaca are excellent at helping your body maintain a steady, comfortable temperature throughout the night. This means you're less likely to feel too hot or too cold — common disruptions that can affect your quality of sleep.
Maintaining a consistent temperature supports deeper, more restful sleep by reducing interruptions to your natural sleep cycle.
With an alpaca quilt, you can enjoy year-round comfort and the reassurance that your bedding is working with your body to help you rest well.
