Choose the ideal size bedspread for a 160x200 bed
| Bed type | Bed dimensions | Recommended bedspread dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Single bed | 90x190 cm | 180x240 cm |
| Double bed | 140x190 cm | 220x240 cm |
| Queen size bed | 160x200 cm | 240x260 cm |
| King size bed | 180x200 cm | 260x280 cm |
Recommended size: 240x220 cm to 260x240 cm
To perfectly dress a 160x200 bed, we recommend that you opt for a bedspread with a size between 240x220 cm and 260x240 cm. This dimension will allow you to generously cover the mattress and obtain a nice fall on the sides and at the foot of the bed.
As bed linen specialists, we recommend opting for a bedspread slightly larger than the mattress for an elegant draping effect and maximum coverage.A suitable bedspread not only beautifies your bedroom, but also contributes to the longevity of your mattress by protecting it from dust and wear.

Criteria for good coverage and optimal coverage
A beautiful fall from bedspread will bring a touch of elegance to your bedroom. Allow approximately 40 to 50 cm of fall on each side for an impeccable result. Also make sure the bedspread is large enough to cover the entire mattress, including the footboard.
Adaptability according to personal preferences
Your final choice will depend on your preferences in terms of style and coverage. If you like the cozy look of a generously sized bedspread, opt for a size of 260x240 cm. If you prefer a more refined look, a size of 240x220 cm will be perfect.

Alternatives to the traditional bedspread
Duvet or blanket: advantages and disadvantages
If you prefer a lighter solution, you can opt for a duvet or a blanket. The duvet offers enveloping warmth, while the blanket provides an easily interchangeable decorative touch. However, these options do not protect the mattress from dust like a bedspread.
Bed throw or boutis: a decorative touch
The bed throw and the boutis are decorative alternatives to the traditional bedspread. Thinner and often unlined, they add a touch of elegance without overloading the bed. They can be used alone or combined with a bedspread for a refined layering effect.
Throw or quilt: for more warmth
In winter, you can complete your bedspread with a plaid or a eiderdown for more warmth and comfort. Choose soft, plush materials like wool or velvet to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your bedroom.
