Description
This is a quilted cotton bedspread carrying the Golden Lily pattern, a classic Morris floral drawn from William Morris's archive of designs. It is made entirely of cotton throughout: a garment-washed slub cotton face, a smooth percale cotton reverse and a pure cotton wadding in between. The face carries the flowing floral, while the reverse turns to a tonal, damask-style print, so the whole piece is reversible and gives you two ways to dress the bed from a single item. It comes in one size, measuring 260 x 260cm, generous enough to drape over the sides of a larger bed.
A bedspread like this sits on top of your made bed, over the duvet or blankets, adding a layer for warmth and a finished look during the day. At 260 x 260cm it is well suited to a king or super king bed where the extra width lets the pattern fall over both sides rather than stopping at the mattress edge. The muted, botanical colouring, greens, ambers and soft neutrals against a pale ground, works alongside wooden furniture, warm-toned walls and other Morris pieces from the wider Golden Lily range if you want to build the look up.
The face is garment-washed slub cotton, which gives it a soft, lived-in feel and a slightly textured surface from the uneven slub yarn. Cotton is breathable and comfortable to sleep under, and it washes and wears well over time. The reverse is percale, a plain, tightly woven cotton weave that feels smooth and crisp to the touch. A contrast flat piped trim runs around the edge, visible in the photograph as a fine botanical band framing the quilted panel. Turn it over through the seasons, or fold it back to show both prints at once.

Frequently Asked
What is the bedspread made from?
It is 100% cotton throughout, with a garment-washed slub cotton face, a smooth percale cotton reverse and a pure cotton wadding filling for weight and warmth.
Is it really reversible?
Yes. One side carries the Golden Lily floral and the other a tonal damask-style print, so you can turn it over to change the look of the bed.
What size bed does it suit?
It measures 260 x 260cm, which suits a king or super king bed where the width lets the pattern drape over both sides rather than stopping short.
What does garment-washed slub cotton feel like?
Garment washing softens the fabric so it feels relaxed rather than crisp, and the slub yarn gives the face a gentle, uneven texture you can feel under your hand.
Does the pattern come from a wider range?
Yes, Golden Lily is a Morris design that runs across several coordinating pieces, so you can build up a matching look across the bed if you wish.
