Hebden Percale Cotton Bedspread - Mole / Stone

The Hebden bedspread is made from 100% cotton throughout, face, reverse and filling alike, and it gives you two ways to dress a bed from a single piece. One side carries a soft textural stripe in mole against a white ground; turn it over and you have a tonal stone percale reverse, quilted in a simple square grid. Percale is a plain, tightly balanced weave, so the reverse feels cool and crisp under the hand, while the striped face has the gently puckered, seersucker-like texture you can see in the cloth. Two sizes are offered, 150x200cm and 265x265cm, so you can choose a throw-over for a smaller bed or a piece with the drop to cover a larger one.

This is a piece for the top of the bed rather than under a duvet. Fold it across the foot for an extra layer on cool nights, or spread it full over a made bed as a lighter alternative to a heavy quilt through spring and autumn. The mole-and-white stripe and the warm neutral reverse sit easily with wooden furniture, cane and rattan headboards and natural-fibre flooring, and the reversible construction means you can flip from the graphic stripe to the calmer plain side as the mood of the room changes.

The cotton has been stonewashed, which softens the handle and gives the bedspread a relaxed, lived-in look from the first day rather than needing months of use to settle. The edge is bound in the same striped fabric, tying the two faces together. Being pure cotton it is breathable and easy to live with, and cotton launders and wears well over time. Fold it over a bench or blanket box when not in use, and pair it with plain or striped bedlinen depending on which side you choose to show.

Is the bedspread the same on both sides?

No, it is reversible with two different looks. One side has a textural mole and white stripe, the other is a plain tonal stone percale, so you can choose which face to show.

What does stonewashed mean for how it feels?

Stonewashing softens the cotton during finishing, so the bedspread arrives with a relaxed, lived-in handle and a gently crumpled look rather than a stiff, brand-new finish.

Which size should I choose for my bed?

The 150x200cm suits a single or a smaller double as a throw-over, while the 265x265cm gives generous drop over a double, king or larger bed. Measure your bed width plus the overhang you want.

Is this warm enough to use on its own?

It is a quilted top layer rather than a heavyweight quilt, so it works well as an extra layer over bedding or as a lighter cover through the milder months.

What is percale and why does it matter here?

Percale is a plain, closely balanced cotton weave that feels cool and crisp. Here it forms the tonal reverse, giving you a smooth, calm side to turn to when you want something plainer.
