A bedspread is an interior design element that many people still perceive as a fancy accessory. To be honest, it's hard for us to understand - we can't imagine the daily ritual of making our bed without our favorite bedspreads . For us, this is a kind of cherry on the cake, which complements the entire arrangement. Choosing the right bedspread can be a challenge for people who have not used this decorative element before. However, matching the bedspread to the arrangement and the bed is not difficult at all: you just need to define your needs and know a few basic rules. You will find a handful of valuable tips below. :)
What should you pay attention to when choosing a bedspread?
When buying a bedspread, we first need to define our own goals. Is it to be purely decorative, or do you dream of a 3-in-1 product that looks great, protects the bed, and is perfect for cuddling? What material, color, weave, and size do you prefer? By answering these questions, you will easily choose a bedspread that meets your needs.
Function
Although these types of textiles once served mainly decorative and protective functions, the first rule of moyha is: it has to be cozy! All the throws available in our collection are therefore not only beautiful and made of high-quality materials, but also perfect for cuddling. You can use the soft throw as a cover for your bed, as well as for yourself.
The bedspread can be:
- decorative – decorates the bed, covers the bedding and harmonizes with the arrangement;
- protective – protects bedding against dust, animal hair and dirt from clothes;
- cozy – suitable for cuddling and, if necessary, replaces a blanket or rug.
Of course, not every throw is suitable for cuddling, as some manufacturers focus solely on the decorative aspect, thus responding to the needs of customers looking for beautiful, decorative throws. So if you only care about the appearance and protective function, you can safely buy "with your eyes", focusing on the practical aspects of the throw. However, if (like us) you love to lie in bed and you are a cold person, before buying, be sure to pay attention to the material the throw is made of - it should be soft, warm and pleasant to the skin.
Material
On the quality of the bedspread is largely influenced by the material it is made of. If you want to enjoy a beautiful bedspread for years, pay attention to the composition of the product and match the material to your own needs and lifestyle. Moyha currently offers 9 collections of bedspreads , and each of them differs not only in design, but also in composition. Natural materials used to produce bedspreads are most often cotton and wool . In order to increase the durability of fabrics, in many cases other fibers are added to them, such as viscose, polyester or acrylic.
Cotton throws are pleasant to the touch, easy to care for and natural, so they will work well in any home – even where small children live. You can wash such a throw regularly in the washing machine and enjoy high quality for years. You can find our throws with cotton under the names: ULUBIONA, LENIWY PORANEK, PIKOWANA and BLISKO NATURY.
Wool throws sewn from soft woolen knitwear are distinguished by their simple, raw design and timeless beauty. A good quality wool throw is not "biting", so it is perfect for cuddling. Thanks to the natural properties of the fiber, a wool throw gets dirty slower than a cotton one, so it is enough to air it. In the case of dirt, we recommend dry cleaning such a throw - washing in water can result in felting of the wool. Our throws with wool are: WOOLEN CLASSIC, KNITTED, CLASSIC PREMIUM, WOOLEN WEAVE, WITH POMPOMS.
Color
The color of the bedspread is an individual matter, which is why we can offer a wide range of colors tailored to various needs. At moyha, we focus on natural, subdued colors that match any interior. By choosing a bedspread in a neutral color, you can be sure that it will match the bedroom even if you decide to completely renovate it. All bedspreads available in our offer are single-colored, except for the PREMIUM collection, where there are bedspreads that are a combination of two shades of gray or beige.
We make sure that moyha has no shortage of fashionable and timeless shades. You will find gray, anthracite, espresso, coffee with milk, graphite, navy blue, camel, sand, beige, cream, light gray, caramel, ash and straw bedspreads . You can combine each of them with our SENNE DRZENIE bedding without worrying about the mismatch.
Weave
It is also worth paying attention to the weave of the throw . Some of them (e.g. sweaters) can snag, so they are not suitable for homes with pets. Cats love to knead soft throws, but their claws can snag the material in a few moments. If you want to avoid this problem, a much better choice will be a knitwear that is resistant to snags, e.g. WOOLEN CLASSIC from the PO SIMPLY WOOL collection.
Size
The dimensions of the product play an important role. Since the basic function of the bedspread is to decorate the bed, its size should be selected to the dimensions of the mattress. Also consider the height of the bed, especially if you want the bedspread to reach the floor.
- Mattress 140 × 200 cm – a 240 × 130 cm, 180 × 240 cm, 200 × 220 cm or 240 × 200 cm bedspread will work best. Moyha bedspreads available in these sizes are: WOOLEN CLASSIC, PREMIUM CLASSIC, WITH POM-POMS, KNITTED, FAVORITE, LAZY MORNING.
- Mattress 160 × 200 cm – we recommend bedspreads 220 × 240 cm and 230 × 240 cm. Moyha bedspreads available in these sizes are: WOOLEN CLASSIC, KNITTED, CLOSE TO NATURE, WOOLEN WEAVE, FAVORITE.
- Mattress 180 × 200 cm – the best bedspread for a large mattress is one with dimensions of 250 × 240 cm or 260 × 240 cm. In the moyha collection, you will find large bedspreads among the products WITH POMPOMS and WOOLEN CLASSIC.
Most moyha bedspreads are available in several different sizes, so you can easily match the selected model to your own bed. Don't know what to choose? You're not alone!
