A Bedspread is simply a bed cover that drops all the way to the floor on three sides of
the bed, and has a 19" pillow-tuck at the head. In the case of waterbeds, the
drop is ignored, since a bedspread is normally tucked into the box frame.
Because of the pillow tuck, and the drop, bedspreads are not
normally used in conjunction with pillow shams or bed skirts. If you
would like to use bed skirts or pillow shams, we recommend either a
comforter (with a possible duvet cover) or a coverlet.
Of course, breaking with this tradition is not unheard of.
When ordering a bedspread, you will be asked for the "drop" from the top of
your bed to the floor. You will also be asked which fabric
you would like.
These sizes all assume a standard 21" drop, but taller beds (with longer
drop-lengths) can be accommodated with only a slight upcharge.
Bedspreads normally come with white 100% Cotton fabric on the reverse side, however,
some customers prefer a solid color on the back, other than
white. This can be done for a modest upcharge of $10.00.
Another option is a lighter fill. In some cases, the normal 7 oz. poly-cotton
fill is simply too heavy, and a 5 oz. fill is preferable. This will deduct $5.00
from the price (to reflect our reduced cost in materials), and makes for a somewhat
lighter bedspread.
