Double bedspread: warmth and softness for your bedroom
A double bedspread is the perfect way to transform a bedroom without changing all the bedding. Placed over a plain duvet or directly on the sheet, it instantly creates a cozy atmosphere , while protecting your linens and giving the bed a more polished look. Its generous size is designed for double beds: perfect for covering the mattress, creating an elegant drape at the sides, and dressing up the room in one simple step.
Made from ultra-soft 100% polyester velvet , this double bedspread is particularly suited to the colder months. Its peach-skin texture envelops the bed in an extra layer of softness, ideal for winter. During the day, it adds structure to the bedroom; in the evening, it provides a cozy layer to pull up over you while watching a show or reading a book, without adding weight to the duvet.
Green tip – a perfectly made bed in seconds
For a neat everyday look, simply fold your double bedspread in thirds lengthwise: it will cover the bottom of the bed, hide the wrinkled duvet and give a "hotel room" look without taking more than a minute.

Materials and winter comfort
This double bedspread is made of 100% polyester microfiber velvet , a material known for its soft feel, quick-drying properties, and durability. The microfiber traps a thin layer of air, enhancing the feeling of warmth while remaining lightweight. The weight, between 0.6 kg and 1.6 kg depending on the size chosen, ensures a beautiful draped effect: the throw hangs gracefully, doesn't wrinkle with the slightest movement, and remains pleasant to handle every day.
Ideal for the winter season , it can also stay in place in the spring: simply keep it folded at the end of the bed to enjoy its decorative presence without getting too hot.

Incorporate a double bedspread into your decor
-
For total coverage : spread the throw over the entire surface of the bed for a very uniform look, ideal in a minimalist bedroom.
-
Folding at the foot of the bed : fold it into a thick strip, placed on the bottom of the bed, for a lighter effect that lets the duvet show through.
-
Sofa version : on a large sofa, let it overhang slightly to create a comfortable area for two people.
-
Textile layering : combine it with a few matching cushions to enhance the warm feel without overloading the room.
-
Guest room : a simple double bedspread is enough to make an extra bed much more inviting.
Maintenance and longevity
To keep your double bedspread soft, regular but simple care is all you need. Machine washing on a delicate cycle at a low temperature is recommended, using a mild detergent. Avoid excessive fabric softener, which can weigh down the fibers. Then, let it air dry, ideally flat or on a drying rack, to preserve its loft and silky texture.
A quick tumble in the dryer on a very gentle cycle, if the care label allows, can restore volume to the fibers, but it's not essential. Shake it regularly to aerate the velvet, especially in winter, so it retains its plush and comfortable feel.
Don't do
Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers, which can dull the color and damage the fibers. Do not rub a stain too hard; instead, gently dab it with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Do not leave the throw to dry on a radiator or any other direct heat source, and do not store it compressed in an airtight bag for extended periods.
