Hebden Percale Cotton Bedspread - Blush / Cotta

This is our Hebden bedspread, a quilted throw-over made from 100% cotton and finished with two faces you can choose between. One side carries a soft textural stripe in blush pink against a pale ground; the other is a plain, tonal pink, so you get two ways to dress the bed from a single piece. It is stonewashed, which is what gives the cloth its slightly crinkled, lived-in surface and its relaxed drape rather than a crisp, formal one. It comes in two sizes: 150x200cm for a throw across a smaller bed, and 265x265cm to hang over the sides of a larger one.

A bedspread like this sits on top of your existing duvet or quilt, so it is the layer you fold back at night and pull up during the day. The blush and warm pink tones work well in a bedroom built on neutrals, warm woods and cane, and the striped face reads as gentle rather than bold, so it settles alongside plain and waffle-textured bedding without competing. Use the smaller size folded at the foot of the bed for weight and colour, or the larger square as a full cover that reaches down over the mattress edge.

The piece is quilted, with the filling held in place by stitched squares so it stays evenly distributed through use and washing. Because it is pure cotton throughout, face, reverse and filling, it is breathable and washes straightforwardly, and cotton takes a wash well without losing its handle. The stonewashed finish means a little creasing is part of the look, so you can skip fussing over it. Reverse it to the plain pink side for a calmer look, or turn the stripe up when you want a touch more pattern in the room.

Is this a duvet or does it go over one?

It is a bedspread, a quilted throw-over layer that sits on top of your existing duvet or quilt rather than replacing it. Fold it back at night and pull it up by day.

Can I use either side facing up?

Yes. One face has a soft textural stripe and the other is a plain tonal pink, so it is reversible and you can style the bed two ways from one piece.

Which size should I choose for my bed?

The 150x200cm suits a throw across a smaller bed or folded at the foot, while the 265x265cm square is generous enough to hang over the sides of a larger bed.

What does stonewashed mean for how it looks?

Stonewashing softens the cotton and gives it a slightly crinkled, relaxed surface, so some gentle creasing is part of the intended look rather than something to iron out.

Is it made from cotton throughout?

Yes. The face, the reverse and the filling are all 100% cotton, which makes it breathable and comfortable to sleep under across the seasons.
