Your guide to finding the best quality bedspread sets in the United Kingdom. The bedroom, unlike other parts of the house, is as personal as it gets. It’s the space where we can totally be ourselves. Bedroom atmospheres may vary undoubtedly. However, the bed will always remain at the focal point. This is precisely why we must not underestimate the positive impact bedspread sets can have on our well-being. Whether it’s a single bedspread, double bedspread, or king bedspread, they all are worth investing in. But, before we get into the pros and cons of 100% polyester bedspreads or pillow shams, let’s start with the basics.

When these covers consist of any type of bedding that is the final top layer, many things come to mind. Here’s what to consider:

  • Bedspreads and Comforter Sets are the final steps in your bed-making routine, usually made out of lightweight materials. The material is usually cotton, chenille, wool, or 100% polyester bedspreads.
  • These drape over the entirety of your bed. And their coverage usually extends to your pillows all the way till the foot of your bed.
  • These are often confused with coverlets or quilt covers but are both longer than coverlets and thinner than quilts.

…and do I really need one?

This may seem like an unnecessary expense for the sake of aesthetics, but their decorative use is purely secondary in nature.

  • The primary goal of bedspread sets is to provide protection to the inner linings of your bedsheets, so they may last longer.
  • Depending on the time of year and the material of bedding, they can also be used as blankets interchangeably.
  • They provide an affordable way to revamp your bedroom and give it a completely new look.
  • These can be as is or layered with pillow shams or quilted bedspreads, for an added aesthetic appeal.

What are the different types of Bedspreads?

Bedcover types are many but, for clarity’s sake, we will only be focusing on the most popular bedspreads.

  • Quilted Bedspreads: These are possibly the most comfortable bedspreads in today’s market. The typical diamond indentation of quilted bedspreads is what makes them unique. Depending on the weather, choose between insulated and uninsulated quilted bedspreads. Our top pick in best-quilted bedspreads, no matter what season, has to be the Emma Barclay Regency Bedspread Sets! Their unique natural blend of cotton and synthetic blend of microfibers makes it both soft and durable.
  • Matelassé Covers: This type of fabric is typically woven with paisley or floral patterns kept in mind. These are perhaps the most luxurious beddings available out there. You can add a traditional touch with any Matelassé bedding, where scalloped edges are a signature add-on. And, if you’re looking for a welcome change in girls' bedspreads, be sure to check out these in purple or pink! Adding a touch of frilly pillow shams can also amplify this whole look.
  • Percale / Sateen Beddings: Both of these styles only differ in their weave. Where Percale beddings offer a matte finish, sateen ones offer a shiny finish. And in terms of weather options, percale suits those in summer and sateen in winter. Both of these weaves are on the more luxurious end and tend to be seen in bed sheets rather than a bedspread.

Choose the best Bedspreads that fits your need

With so many options available today, here are some guidelines you should take into consideration:

  • Weather and materiality: Consider the nature of synthetic versus natural materials. 100% polyester bedspreads, for instance, are a great winter investment, because they trap heat. Since the material is synthetic, it is more long-lasting, durable, and remains wrinkle-free. This makes it an excellent choice for a young boy’s and girl’s bedspreads. 
  • Bedroom atmosphere: Every bedroom has a different kind of ambiance. For a formal bedroom, like a guest bedroom, invest in regal patterns or colors to match the setting. Matelassé covers or the addition of pillow shams within your set could also help seal the look. When looking for gendered bed covers, like a boy or girl bedspread, also consider shades your child would most appreciate.
  • Experiment with sizes: There are many different types of beddings to choose from, today. Coverlets and throws are worth considering for shorter coverage options in case you have frills at the bottom of your bed. You can layer bedspreads on top of each other too, for decorative and functional uses both.
