There are other aspects. We have a 10kg front loader but putting in a single large and heavy (especially when water laden) item causes balance problems inhibiting spin. Putting in even 2 items each half ‘weight’ to a single heavy item will enable the machine to eventually balance and spin properly. The more items the easier time the machine has to attain balance for spinning.
Our doona fits in the 10kg but the machine needs to be larger than the largest single item that fits so ‘balancing items’ can be included. For doonas that will usually be the 12kg+ machine at a laundromat. Locally those are $16 per wash and hold our large doona and enough towels to balance the load come spin time.
