Tips for Choosing the Perfect Size of Your Bedspread

Measure the height of the bed and multiply it by two

To determine the ideal size for your bedspread, measure the height of your bed, from the floor to the top of the mattress. Then multiply this measurement by two to get the minimum length needed for your bedspread to fall elegantly on each side.

Make sure the bedspread touches the floor

A bedspread that skims the floor brings a touch of elegance and refinement to your bedroom. When making your choice, make sure that the dimension of your bedspread is sufficient to create this visual effect.

Take into account the thickness of the mattress and the presence of a box spring

The thickness of your mattress and the possible presence of a box spring can influence the fall of your bedspread. Take these elements into consideration when making your selection to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Opt for a slightly larger size if in doubt

If you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one. A slightly looser bedspread will give your bed a generous and comfortable look, while one that is too small risks looking skimpy and unflattering.
