What is a bedspread and how is it different from a duvet cover?

A bedspread is a decorative covering designed to sit on top of your existing bedding, rather than replacing your duvet cover. Where a duvet cover encloses your duvet and serves as your main layer of warmth, a bedspread drapes over the entire bed, typically reaching down the sides and covering the pillows, to create a finished, put-together look. Bedspreads are generally lighter in weight than duvets and are used primarily for styling and layering. Many people use a bedspread during the day to protect their duvet and give the bedroom a tidier appearance, then fold it back at night.

What size bedspread do I need for a double or king size bed?

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.

Can I use a bedspread instead of a duvet?

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.

What styles of bedspread does Belledorm offer?

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.

What is the difference between a bedspread and a throw?

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.

How do I wash a bedspread?

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.

Can I coordinate my bedspread with matching cushions?

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.

Are bedspreads suitable for all seasons?

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.

What is a quilted bedspread?

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.

How much does a bedspread cost?

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. All Belledorm bedspreads come with free UK delivery on orders over £50 and free returns, so you can see the quality and fit in your own bedroom before committing.

King Size Bedspreads

A bedspread is one of the simplest ways to change the look and feel of your bedroom. Draped over your existing bedding, it covers the full bed, sides included, giving a neat, finished appearance during the day and an extra layer of comfort at night. Belledorm's bedspread collection includes quilted, floral, textured, and printed designs in colourways from soft neutrals to bold statement shades, available in double and king size. Use a bedspread on its own during warmer months for lightweight coverage, or layer it over your duvet in winter for added warmth and a polished look. Each design has coordinating cushions available, so you can pull the whole room together without replacing your existing bed linen.
