Jaye Velvet Cotton Bedspread - Moss

The Jaye is a filled bedspread made from soft, plain cotton velvet, and it earns its place through touch as much as looks. The face is a pure cotton velvet, so the pile has that deep, light-catching quality that reads slightly differently as you move around it, shifting between a flatter matt and a richer sheen depending on how the light falls. This one comes in Moss, a soft olive green. It is a single size, measuring 140 x 220cm, which makes it a throw-over layer for the top of the bed rather than a full bedding set.

At 140 x 220cm it sits neatly folded across the foot of a double or dressed lengthways down a single, and it works just as well thrown over the arm of a sofa or the end of a reading chair. The Moss green is a natural, earthy tone that settles easily against wood, cane and warm neutral walls, and it holds its own next to both cream and deeper colours. Because it is a layering piece rather than a fitted cover, you can move it from bed to sofa and back as the seasons change.

The construction is worth understanding before you buy. The outer is 100% cotton velvet with a 100% polyester filling, so it has genuine weight and warmth to it rather than being a thin cover. It is finished with a twin stitched edge and a fringed trim running around the border, and the face carries small cross stitches at regular intervals that hold the filling in place, visible as the little x marks across the surface. Cotton velvet is a fabric that likes gentle handling, so check the care label before its first wash and keep it away from harsh treatment that would flatten the pile. A matching Jaye cushion is also made if you want to build up the layered look.

What is the bedspread made from?

The outer face is 100% cotton velvet and the filling is 100% polyester, so it has real weight and warmth while keeping a soft cotton pile on the surface you touch.

What size is it and what bed does it suit?

It measures 140 x 220cm, which is a single-size throw-over. It layers well across the foot of a larger bed or lengthways down a single, rather than covering a whole double.

What are the little cross marks across the surface?

Those are cross stitches worked at regular intervals through the bedspread. They hold the polyester filling evenly in place so it does not shift or bunch inside with use.

Is it a cover I can remove and wash separately?

No, it is a filled bedspread made as one piece, not a removable cover. Please check the sewn-in care label before washing, as cotton velvet needs gentle handling.

Can I use it on a sofa as well as the bed?

Yes. It is a layering piece, so it works thrown over a sofa arm or the end of a chair just as happily as it does dressed across the bed.

Is there anything that matches it?

A matching Jaye cushion is also made, so you can build a coordinated look in the same cotton velvet if you want to carry the Moss tone through the room.
