A bedspread is a piece of bedding used to cover the bed and add a layer of warmth and decoration to the bedroom. Unlike a duvet or blanket, which are often thicker and designed to provide extra warmth while sleeping, a bedspread is typically lighter and is primarily used for aesthetic purposes.

Made from a wide variety of materials, including cotton, polyester, linen and silk, a bedspread can be found in a range of styles, patterns and colours to suit the bedroom decor. Some bedspreads are quilted or embroidered to add texture and visual interest.

In addition to its decorative role, a bedspread can also serve as an extra layer of protection for the bed, helping to protect the sheets and bedding underneath from dirt, dust and dust mites.
