Bedspread Buyer’s Guide
When it comes to the best bedroom decor, it’s often the small finishing touches that make all the difference. A bedspread is a decorative bed covering, designed to give your bed that beautifully finished look. Traditional bedspreads are quilted with scalloped hems, and they can be used to add warmth to your bed in the winter months.

Material
Bedspreads are commonly made of microfibre, velvet, or cotton. For the warmer months, linen bedspreads are a great option.
Microfibre bedspreads tend to be the most versatile. These are very easy to care for, long lasting, and soft to touch even after multiple washes. Cotton bedspreads are lightweight and good for summer, while velvet is luxurious and expensive looking, but it can be hard to care for.
Size
Bedspreads are available in a huge range of sizes, either measured according to the bed they fit (for example, double or king), or in centimetres. Bedspreads are designed to reach all the way to the ground, giving a lovely traditional look. If you’d rather a bedspread look more like a throw, opt for a smaller size.
Design
You’ll have no trouble finding a design to suit your bedroom. Quilted bedspreads are very traditional, and those in understated colours look fantastic in modern bedrooms. Bedspreads with eye catching patterns and vibrant colours are a great option if you want your bed to be the focal point. Pair with decorative cushions in block colours to complete the look.
Comfort
Bedspreads are usually soft to the touch with some filling. Most bedspreads are lightweight so are good for summer use, and they can be placed over a blanket in the colder weather. For added comfort, look for a bedspread made from soft and high quality materials.
Bedspreads FAQ
What is a bedspread used for?
Bedspreads are single layer bedding toppers, designed to cover the entire bed and often the pillows. They are generally used to ‘complete’ a bedroom, and are commonly found in hotel rooms for added decoration. They will keep your bed looking neat during the day and they can be used in winter to keep you warmer at night.
Although the overall look is very traditional, contemporary bedspreads are available and look good in modern bedrooms.
