Edie Linen Cotton Bedspread - Natural

The Edie is a quilted cotton velvet bedspread measuring 140 x 220cm, with a face of soft cotton velvet and a linen-look cotton reverse. The pile is dense and gives the top side that gentle sheen and softness velvet is known for, while the underside offers a flatter, more textured weave. Both sides are pure cotton, so the whole piece breathes and washes as a cotton item does. Small hand-tied threads sit at intervals across the face, holding the polyester filling evenly in place and giving the surface its quilted, lightly dimpled look.

At 140 x 220cm this is a throw-over layer rather than a fitted cover, sized to lie across the top of a bed and drape down the sides. It works well folded at the foot of a double for extra warmth, or pulled up over the shoulders on a cooler evening. The neutral beige of the velvet face and the paler linen-look reverse mean it sits happily with most bedroom schemes, and because it is reversible you can turn it to the flatter side when you want a quieter, more matt finish rather than the velvet sheen.

Cotton velvet feels warm and soft against the skin and, being cotton, is naturally breathable and holds colour well. The hand-tied detailing is part of the character of the piece, so expect the small tufts to show across the face. The filling is polyester, which keeps the layer light and gives it a little loft without much weight. Turn it velvet-side up for a soft, plush look, or linen-side up when you want something plainer to sit under a patterned throw or cushions.

Is the Edie bedspread the same on both sides?

No, it is reversible with two different finishes. One side is soft cotton velvet with a gentle sheen, and the other is a flatter linen-look cotton texture, so you can choose the look you prefer.

What size bed does the 140 x 220cm size suit?

It is a throw-over layer sized to lie across the top of a bed and drape at the sides. It works well over a single or a double, and folded at the foot of a larger bed for extra warmth.

What are the little tufts on the surface?

Those are the hand-tied threads that hold the filling in place and give the bedspread its quilted look. They are a deliberate part of the design and you should expect to see them across the face.

What is the bedspread filled with?

The face and reverse are both pure cotton and the filling is polyester, which keeps the layer light and gives it a little loft without adding much weight.

Is cotton velvet hard to look after?

Cotton is breathable and holds colour well, and the velvet face feels warm and soft against the skin. As the supplier gives no care instructions, we would suggest checking the sewn-in label before washing.
