White Bedspread

White bedspread in 100% combed long-staple cotton at 340 gsm with a 25-inch side drop that reaches the floor over a standard mattress and base, prewashed to under 3% shrinkage. Our white bedspread is the only bedspread color with an open care routine — wash at 60 °C, treat marks with oxygen bleach, dry in full sun — which is why every hotel uses white. Why white bedspread is the only color with an open care routine A bedspread is the largest single piece of cloth in a bedroom, which makes it the one most likely to pick up marks and the most expensive to replace. That is the entire practical case for white: it is the only color with an open care routine. Wash it at 60 °C, treat a mark with oxygen bleach without a second thought, dry it in full sun — the same sun that fades every other color is the one thing that improves this one. Why hotels use nothing else It is also why hotels never use anything else on a bedspread. A white piece can be laundered aggressively, replaced individually years later, and still match the room. Nothing colored does that. Specifications Fiber: 100% combed long-staple cotton Weight: 340 gsm Construction: Single woven layer, no fill Side drop: 25 in.

Why oxygen bleach, not chlorine Use oxygen bleach, not chlorine. Chlorine works once and then keeps working — it weakens cotton fiber and, on a piece with this much surface area, the damage shows as thinning across the top of the bed long before anything tears. Oxygen bleach lifts the same marks without the cost. Two habits that quietly ruin white bedspreads The other thing that quietly ruins whites is detergent residue, which turns them yellow, and washing them alongside colors, which turns them gray. Wash whites together, use less detergent than the scoop suggests, and run an occasional cycle with none at all. Avoid detergents heavy in optical brighteners — they flatter a white for a season and leave it looking chalky after that. For darker rooms — same cut in three other colors For a darker room where white would read too stark, the same cut is made in Fog Gray, Sable and Indigo.

How to care for your white bedspread Machine wash at 60 °C (140 °F) Treat marks with oxygen bleach, not chlorine Dry in full sun where possible — sun brightens rather than fades Wash whites together, use less detergent than the scoop suggests Avoid detergents heavy in optical brighteners Frequently asked questions Why is a white bedspread easier to care for than colored? It’s the only color with an open care routine — 60 °C wash, oxygen bleach for marks, full-sun drying. All three are off-limits on colored cloth. Can I use chlorine bleach on a white bedspread? No — chlorine weakens cotton fiber over repeated cycles. Oxygen bleach lifts the same marks without the wear. Do white bedspreads turn yellow? They do if detergent residue builds up. Use less detergent than the scoop suggests, run an occasional cycle with none at all, and skip optical-brightener detergents. What’s the difference between a white bedspread and a white coverlet? A bedspread is longer (25 in. drop, floor-length) and heavier (340 gsm). A coverlet stops above the base and is lighter.
