Bed Spreads

Choose a bedspread that matches your bed size, double for a double bed, king size for a king size bed. A well-sized bedspread should drape over the sides of the mattress by at least 30–40 cm on each side to create the proper overhang that gives the bed a finished look. If your mattress is particularly deep (over 30 cm), you may want to check the overall dimensions of the bedspread to ensure it provides enough drop. Belledorm bedspreads are available in double and king size, with generous proportions designed to cover the bed fully.

A bedspread can be used on its own during warmer months when a full duvet feels too heavy. Many of Belledorm's bedspreads, such as the Crompton Quilted Throw, have a quilted construction that provides a light layer of warmth without the bulk of a duvet. During spring and summer, draping a bedspread over a fitted sheet and flat sheet gives you enough coverage for a comfortable night's sleep. In colder months, most people prefer to use a bedspread as a decorative layer on top of their duvet rather than as a standalone covering.

Belledorm's bedspread collection includes floral, geometric, quilted, frilled, textured, and printed designs. The range covers both traditional and contemporary styles. from the Cleo Bedspread with its detailed floral print to the Lisbon Bedspread in understated soft grey or blush, and the Crompton Quilted Throw with its stitched quilted finish in eight colourways including sage, cobalt, and saffron. Whether you prefer a bedspread that coordinates closely with plain bed linen or one that adds a contrasting focal point, the collection is designed to work with a range of bedroom schemes.

A bedspread is sized to cover the entire bed, including the pillows, with an overhang that drapes down the sides of the mattress. A throw is smaller and typically covers only the lower portion or foot of the bed, serving as an accent piece rather than a full covering. Bedspreads give a more structured, tailored look, while throws are more casual and easier to rearrange. In Belledorm's range, the Crompton Quilted Throw is designed to work as either, its generous proportions mean it can cover a bed fully, while still being light enough to fold at the foot of the bed as a throw.

Most bedspreads can be machine washed at a low temperature, typically 30°C, on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label on your specific bedspread before washing, as quilted and textured designs may have particular requirements. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach, which can damage colours and fabric finishes. Tumble dry on a low setting or line dry flat where possible. laying the bedspread flat helps it keep its shape, particularly for quilted styles. If your bedspread is too large for a domestic washing machine, a laundrette with a larger drum is a good alternative.

Yes. several Belledorm bedspreads have matching cushions available in the same design and colourway. Pairing a bedspread with coordinating cushions creates a pulled-together look without needing to restyle the whole room. You can also use a patterned bedspread with plain-dyed cushions in a complementary shade, or pair a textured bedspread with cushions from the same collection for a layered effect. Belledorm's accessories range includes cushions designed to work alongside the bedspread collection.

Bedspreads work well throughout the year, though how you use them changes with the seasons. In spring and summer, a bedspread can serve as your primary covering, light enough to sleep under comfortably without a heavy duvet. In autumn and winter, it works best as an additional decorative layer draped over your duvet for extra warmth and a finished look. Quilted bedspreads, such as the Crompton, provide a thin layer of insulation that adds gentle warmth without overheating. Several Belledorm bedspreads are tagged as all-season designs for this reason.

A quilted bedspread has a stitched pattern sewn through multiple layers of fabric, creating a padded, textured surface. The quilting holds a thin layer of filling in place between the top fabric and a backing, which gives the bedspread a soft, structured feel and a small amount of warmth. Quilted bedspreads tend to hold their shape well, drape neatly over the bed, and resist bunching or shifting during the night. Belledorm's Crompton Quilted Throw is an example, it features a stitched diamond or geometric pattern and is available in a range of colourways.

Belledorm bedspreads range from around £65 to £160 at full price, depending on the size, design, and construction. Quilted and more intricately patterned styles sit at the higher end, while simpler designs start at a lower price point. Sale items are regularly available, some reduced bedspreads start from as low as £20.
