"You can’t beat a lovely lightweight white bedspread when it comes to creating a beautifully dressed bed. At home, I make all my beds with top sheets and a softly textured white bedspread, which looks gorgeous as is, or layered with a throw at the bottom"

Style tip

If you want a bedspread, or quilt to touch the floor and give a more generous and complete bed coverage, we recommend choosing the size up from your actual bed size, especially if you have a high bed base, divan, or bedstead. If you want the bedspread, or quilt, to drape over the sides of the bed, not touching the floor and revealing a small amount of the bed linen underneath on each side, then choose the same size as your bed. For a decorative finish, when layering bed covers on top of each other, always ensure a bit of each layer is showing by folding down different sizes to perfectly drape the bed.

Pure Cotton

A pure-cotton bed cover is a classic option that feels wonderfully soft, light and breathable.

Linen

Our linen blends keep you warm in Winter and cool in Summer, and have a relaxed texture.

Wool

Our lambswool, alpaca wool and wool-rich blends feel wonderfully soft, light and snuggly.

Silk

Exquisitely soft with a beautiful drape, silk has a matte-sheen finish and temperature-regulating benefits.

Cashmere

Cosy and comforting – yet whisper-light to sleep beneath – our beautiful-quality cashmere is pure indulgence.

Velvet bed cover

Velvet

Plush velvet blends have a luxurious texture and heavy weight, and add elegant opulence to any room.

Sheepskin

Sheepskin

Sourced from the highlands of Tibet, it is the softest, silkiest fleece with characteristically long, curly wool piles.

Alpaca Wool

Alpaca wool

Peruvian alpaca wool is renowned for being tremendously soft and light, our high-quality blends are a true luxury.

Style tip

Layer white and pretty printed bedspreads with varying textured throws to create a showstopping and tactile finish to your bed.

How to care for your bed covers

All of our bedspreads are 100% cotton, making them easy to wash at home. Due to the delicate blends of our throws and quilts, we recommend professional dry cleaning. Consult the care label of your bed cover for individual recommendations.

Style tip

Scatter small, square cushions with larger cushions to give a layered effect, or place squarely on the bed for a simple, tailored look
