Hebden Percale Cotton Bedspread - Navy / Denim Blue

The Hebden bedspread is a two-sided quilt that gives you a choice each morning. One face carries a textural stripe in navy and white; the reverse is a plain denim blue in a smooth percale weave. Both sides are 100% cotton, filling included, so what you feel is a single fibre throughout with no synthetic core. It has been stonewashed, which softens the cloth and gives it the slightly crumpled, lived-in look you can see in the folds rather than a stiff, pressed finish. Available in two sizes, 150 x 200cm and 265 x 265cm, so you can pick a throw for the foot of a single or double, or a full spread that covers a larger bed to the floor.

This is a top layer rather than a fitted piece, which makes it easy to live with. Drape it folded across the end of the bed for a bit of extra warmth on cool nights, or open it out over the whole bed as a lightweight cover through spring and summer. The striped side suits a coastal or relaxed bedroom; flip to the plain denim reverse when you want a quieter, more solid look. It sits happily over white, grey or natural linen bedding, and the navy tone works with wood furniture and warm neutral walls.

The bedspread is quilted in a simple grid, with the stitching holding the cotton filling evenly so it drapes without bunching. The striped edge is turned to frame the plain reverse, giving a neat border where the two sides meet. Because it is pure cotton it is breathable and washes well, growing softer with use rather than wearing hard. The smaller size makes a useful throw for a chair or sofa too, so it need not stay in the bedroom.

Is the bedspread the same on both sides?

No, it is reversible with two different looks. One side has a navy and white textural stripe and the other is plain denim blue, so you can turn it to suit your mood.

What is it made from?

It is 100% cotton throughout, including the filling. Cotton is breathable and soft against the skin, and it tends to grow softer the more it is washed and used.

What does stonewashed mean for how it feels?

Stonewashing softens the cotton before it reaches you and gives a relaxed, slightly crumpled surface, so the bedspread feels lived-in from the first day rather than crisp and stiff.

Which size should I choose?

The 150 x 200cm works as a throw or a cover for a smaller bed, while the 265 x 265cm suits a double or larger bed where you want fuller coverage down the sides.

Can I use it somewhere other than the bed?

Yes, the smaller size in particular makes a comfortable throw over an armchair or the end of a sofa, so it works well as an extra layer around the home.
