The final finishing layer that pulls a bed together, a bedspread adds colour, texture and a neat, finished appearance. From a simple quilted design to a decorative statement piece, the right bedspread instantly refreshes the room without replacing your bedding. At Homebox you'll find bedspreads in a variety of colours, fabrics and sizes to suit different bedrooms and decorating styles.
The bedspread line at Homebox offers lightweight quilted options that offer comfortable everyday coverage while unifying a bedroom. Quilting distributes the lightweight filling evenly, adds texture, and lets the bedspread hang smoothly over the bed. Larger quilting designs give a softer, more relaxed look, while smaller stitch patterns give a more tailored appearance.
Choose soft cotton jersey for a stretchy, casual feel, or pre-washed microfiber for its lightweight feel, smooth finish, and easy-care qualities. Both of these fabrics are machine washable, making them practical for everyday use.
The bedspreads are available in various sizes, like 220x240cm for king beds and 160x230cm or 150x220cm for twin beds. Product descriptions list the final dimensions and indicate whether sets are two or three pieces, making it easier to compare collections before ordering.
Measure your mattress to ensure the right amount of overhang when you choose a bedspread. Even a slight size difference can make a visible difference in how the bedspread falls over the sides of the bed. Quilted bedspreads are lightly padded, not heavily filled, so they fold nicely at the foot of the bed overnight and are easily spread back into place each morning.
Plus, a bedspread makes it so much easier to coordinate the rest of the bedroom. With solid colours, you can swap out cushions or accessories throughout the year, and patterned designs make a natural centrepiece against neutral walls and bedding. Matching cushions and throws complete the look, and coordinating sheets, pillows, and mattress protectors help create a comfortable, cohesive sleeping space.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean slightly different things. A quilt is made up of layers of fabric, wadding and backing sewn together. A bedspread covers the bed and hangs over the sides. Many products do both and might be called quilted bedspreads or summer quilt sets. Look at the finished measurements and what’s included, not just the product name.
The King bedspread measures 220x240 cm, so it is larger than the mattress and drapes over the sides. Measure your mattress first (including the depth of any topper) - a deeper mattress will allow for less fabric hanging over the edges. Twin duvet covers are available in two sizes: 160x230cm and 150x220cm. So always check the actual measurements listed and don’t rely on the size name. Check finished dimensions on product page before ordering.
Yeah. In air-conditioned bedrooms, many people use a quilted bedspread over a fitted sheet in the warmer months. Some products are sold as summer quilt sets specifically for this purpose. If the weather is colder, you can put a thicker quilt or duvet underneath, but the bedspread should still be on top. If you plan to sleep directly under the bedspread, choose a fabric finish that feels comfortable against your skin.
Don't overload the washing machine, and wash on a cool cycle. A quilted bedspread weighs a ton when wet, so it needs room to breathe. Dry flat or on a low tumble-dry, shaking occasionally to help the filling to settle evenly. Don’t use fabric softener; it will coat the fibres over time and dull the fabric finish. Pre-washed fabrics tend to keep their shape better after repeated washing, as most of the shrinkage has already happened.
If you want to sleep under the bedspread. And like cotton jersey. A soft, slightly stretchy fabric, like a favourite T-shirt. If appearance and simple upkeep are your priority, choose pre-washed microfiber; it holds its shape well and dries quickly after washing. Jersey also resists creasing, so the bed looks neat with little effort.
Not really. A bedspread should cover the mattress and drop partially over the sides, not cover the whole bed base like a valance. If you want a longer drop, choose the largest size that fits your bed. Remember that storage bases and deep mattresses will reduce the amount of fabric hanging over the edges.
Use the bedspread as your starting point. It’s the biggest part of the bedroom that can be seen, so it determines the room’s colour palette. Curtains must be in one or the other of the secondary colours of the bedspread, not in a matching pattern. Best to leave fitted sheets plain. Then use accent cushions to repeat one of the feature colours from the bedspread and pull the room together.
The number indicates how many items are included. The product description lists the individual items. Twin beds typically have two-piece sets, while twin and king sizes will include three-piece sets. Always compare the contents, not just the number, because similar-sized sets may have different accessories. Product images may include decorative accessories not included in the set.
Usually, one bedspread is enough for a guest room. A second is only worth it if you use the room a lot. A neutral colour is usually the most practical choice as it will still suit the room if the décor changes later. At checkout on Homebox you can check delivery options, timings and charges for your area.
Keep it clean, dry and folded along the existing seams. Folding it the same way every time helps minimise visible creases over time. Do not use sealed plastic bags as the filling could trap moisture. A breathable storage bag or a loosely covered storage box is better protection. Avoid direct sunlight on the bedspread to prevent uneven fading.
Yes. They are easier to wash and dry faster than heavier quilts due to their lightweight construction. Keep a second bedspread on hand, so you can remake the bed right away if the other needs washing. Children's sizes often match smaller twin sizes, and many special children's bedspreads feature themed prints.
Lay the bedspread flat on the bed for several hours so the creases relax naturally. Most creases will disappear as the fabric settles. If required, tumble dry on a cool setting with a damp cloth to remove stubborn creases. Do not use high heat, as this can crush the quilted stitching or damage microfibre fabrics. If the care label indicates you can iron, do so on the reverse side on a low setting.
