Description
The Hebden bedspread is made from 100% cotton percale, garment washed so it arrives soft rather than crisp. It is quilted in a plain grid of stitched squares that runs edge to edge, and the same washed denim-blue cotton faces both sides. Cotton is a breathable natural fibre that takes a wash well and softens further with use, which is exactly what a garment-washed finish is for. It comes in two sizes, a smaller 150x200cm and a larger 265x265cm, so you can choose a throw-over layer or full bed coverage.
This is a top layer rather than a duvet, meant to sit over your bedding for a relaxed, lived-in look. The 265x265cm size drapes generously over a double or king and reaches down the sides; the 150x200cm works as a folded throw across the foot of the bed or over a single. The muted blue sits happily against natural wood, rattan and cane headboards, and it layers cleanly over striped or plain white bedlinen without competing for attention. Its plain face means it works in a bedroom that already has pattern elsewhere.
The quilting is worked in a square grid across the whole spread, with a plain hemmed edge that keeps the outline soft. Because it is pure cotton throughout, it washes and dries much as your other cotton bedding does, and the washed finish means a little creasing simply reads as part of the look. Fold it over the end of the bed in warmer months and pull it up as an extra layer when the nights cool. Its quiet, tonal finish makes it an easy piece to keep as your other bedding changes around it.

Frequently Asked
Is this a duvet or a top layer?
It is a bedspread, a top layer designed to sit over your existing duvet or bedding for a relaxed, layered look rather than to replace it.
What does percale mean for how it feels?
Percale is a closely woven cotton with a smooth, matt handle. Here it has also been garment washed, so it feels soft and lived-in rather than crisp.
Which size should I choose for a double or king bed?
The larger 265x265cm size gives full coverage and drape over a double or king. The 150x200cm suits a single or works as a folded throw at the foot of the bed.
Is it the same colour on both sides?
Yes, the washed denim-blue cotton faces both sides, so it looks right however it falls or folds back on the bed.
What is it made from?
It is 100% cotton throughout, a breathable natural fibre that softens with washing and layers easily with other cotton bedding.
