Coverlets, Quilts & Bedspreads

How to Choose a Luxury Bedspread or Coverlet

Luxury bedspreads and coverlets add warmth and texture in a lighter, more tailored layer than a duvet. The right choice depends on how much coverage you want, the weight you prefer, and whether the piece will be used on its own or as part of a layered bed.

A coverlet is typically lighter and shorter than a traditional bedspread, falling just past the mattress rather than to the floor. Quilts are usually thicker, with layers of fabric and batting that add more warmth. Bedspreads offer fuller coverage and can create a more traditional, tailored look. We offer these styles in fabrics including cotton, linen, and matelassé.

What Is Matelassé Bedding?

Matelassé is a woven fabric whose raised, quilt-like texture comes from the weave itself. That texture gives a bed depth and visual interest while keeping the layer relatively lightweight.

A matelassé coverlet works well if you want a polished look at a lighter weight. It can be paired with luxury sheets for a simple warm-weather setup or layered over a duvet in cooler months.

How to Use Coverlets and Bedspreads in a Layered Bed

Coverlets are especially useful because they can change with the season. In warmer weather, a coverlet can serve as the main top layer over your sheets. When temperatures drop, it can sit beneath or over a duvet to add warmth and texture.

Folded at the foot of the bed or paired with coordinating pillow shams, a coverlet takes on a more decorative look. You can also add a throw blanket for another layer of color, texture, or warmth. Styling a bed with a coverlet brings these layers together across the seasons.
