Edie Linen Cotton Bedspread - Green

The Edie bedspread is a quilted cotton velvet throw-over that finishes a bed the way a good top layer should: with real weight and a soft, dense pile you feel the moment you sit down. The face is cotton velvet in a soft mid-green, and the reverse is a paler, linen-look cotton, so the same piece gives you two very different textures depending on which way you fold it. Small hand-tied threads sit at intervals across the quilted face, holding the layers together in the way a hand-finished bedspread is put together. It measures 140 x 220cm, a single throw-over size that lies over a bed rather than tucking in.

At 140 x 220cm this sits neatly across a single or a small double, draped over the duvet and left to fall at the sides, or folded across the foot of a larger bed as an extra layer for cooler nights. The green velvet face reads as the show side; the linen-look reverse is the quieter one, useful if you turn the top back over a pillow or want a calmer surface facing the room. It suits a bedroom that mixes texture rather than matching everything, and it works equally well as a sofa throw in a living room where you want something substantial to pull over your knees.

The face and reverse are both 100% cotton, with a polyester filling that gives the quilting its loft and warmth. Cotton velvet is worth handling gently: the pile flattens where it is sat on and lifts again with a shake, and the crushed, lived-in look in the photographs is part of how a velvet of this kind wears. The hand-tied ties are a deliberate finishing detail rather than a fault. Because the filling is quilted in, treat this as a top layer to shake out and air rather than something to wash casually. Fold it over the foot of the bed by day and pull it up at night.

What size bed does this bedspread fit?

It measures 140 x 220cm, which lies well over a single or small double as a throw-over, or across the foot of a larger bed as an extra layer.

Is it velvet on both sides?

No. The face is soft cotton velvet in green and the reverse is a paler linen-look cotton, so you get two textures in one piece depending on how you turn it.

What is the filling made from?

The face and reverse are 100% cotton and the filling inside the quilting is polyester, which gives the bedspread its loft and gentle warmth.

What are the little tied threads on the surface?

Those are hand-tied ties that hold the quilted layers together. They are a deliberate hand-finished detail, not loose threads or a fault.

Will the velvet pile flatten?

Cotton velvet naturally crushes where it is sat or slept on and lifts again with a shake. The relaxed, lived-in look is part of its character.
