Frequently Asked Questions about Dohars
Frequently Asked Questions about Dohars
What is a dohar and how is it different from a quilt?
A dohar is a traditional Indian light blanket — three layers of muslin (mulmul) cotton stitched together. It's lighter and more breathable than a quilt, making it ideal for Indian summers and air-conditioned rooms. A quilt has a thicker padded fill and is heavier. Most Indian households use dohars through summer and lighter winter nights, and quilts for colder months.
What size dohar should I buy?
For a single bed (90x190 cm), a dohar of approximately 150x225 cm is comfortable. For a double bed (137x190 cm), 220x240 cm is standard. Freedom Tree dohars are available in single and double sizes; check product listings for exact dimensions.
How do I wash a mulmul dohar?
Mulmul (muslin) dohars can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle in cold water. The fabric is delicate when wet, so avoid wringing. Line-dry flat or on a clothesline without pegs where possible. Mulmul softens further with each wash, which is considered a desirable characteristic.
Are dohars suitable for use in air-conditioned rooms?
Yes — dohars are ideal for air-conditioned rooms. They provide just enough warmth without overheating, and the light, breathable mulmul cotton is comfortable against the skin in cold AC environments. They're popular as the primary bedding layer through most of the year in Indian homes with air conditioning.
