Bedspreads

A bedspread is the decorative top layer that goes over a duvet or blanket, dressed off the bed for daytime presentation and folded down at night. Distinct from a quilt (lighter, decorative-only) or a blanket (warmth-only). Archiproducts UK, Bedeck Home and Bemz UK between them cover £10-£499 across the range. Material decides what the bedspread does. Cotton bedspreads (lightweight, decorative summer covers); quilted cotton bedspreads (mid-weight, suit shoulder seasons); velvet bedspreads (heavier, statement pieces, dry-clean only); chenille and damask bedspreads (traditional designs, often patterned). Sizing matters: a bedspread should overhang the mattress by 25-30cm on each side and the foot, so a 230x230cm bedspread suits a king-size mattress. Throws (180x130cm or 200x150cm) are smaller and don't cover the full bed; they fold across the foot or drape diagonally. Most bedspreads come in standard bed sizes; confirm before ordering.
