@lexi, you may want to post this on the Home forum. I don't know that you will get much help with it posted in Sports.

I just got a pretty quilted bedspread from Brylane Home - $99 for the king size.I got a pretty azure blue reversible to a stripe. It's a lightweight quilt perfect for Florida as we use it as our cover as well. I still have my comforter and if we get a cold spell in the winter I'll change it out. I really love the more finished look of a bedspread over a comforter. After 8 years I needed a change.

Bedspreads had all but disappeared for some years, but I've noticed they are back with a vengeance!

I prefer the look of a quilt, shams and dust ruffle, but I like the ease of making the bed and the all in one look of many bedspreads.

Growing up, bedspreads were all we had, and I think I just got tired of them. The other problem with bedspreads now (and many quilts and dust ruffles too) is there is no standard size, and bed heights and mattress/box spring thicknesses vary so widely, it is getting hard to get any top of the bed dressing to fit exactly as you think it should, or the one you love doesn't fit and something you don't love is the perfect fit!

When did bedding get so complicated? LOL

@lexi A few years ago I bought a nice one at Macys. I think you can find them at some online sites like maybe touch of class, or joss and main. I have given up wrestling with bed skirts, too many health problems for that anymore.

@lexiI too was tired of all the extras on my bed. I know exactly what yoir talking about. I bought H211714 it does have 2 pillow shams, but this is a wonderful spread, makes a nice looking bed, and I bought a queen size which is what my bed is and it fits perfect. You don't need a skirt.Check it out.

With all the different heights of mattresses anymore, it is difficult to find the right drop length for dust ruffles / bed skirts and bedspreads.

This spring I decided I had had enough of pulling and pushing the bed skirt so it would hang evenly to the floor:

had DH move the mattress so I could baste a seam down the center of the bed skirt sheeting. No more fussing.

As for the appropriate length of the bedspread, I searched Amazon putting in “ extra wide “ bedspread. ( if you put in extra large, you won’t get what you are looking for ).

For approx. $ 45 I got a microfiber / cotton combination that is perfect: lightweight and good looking.

Being a perfectionist, I rolled up one side’s hem three rolls and pinned it every 7 inches, and sewed it. Took about an hour but it looks great and there’s no more fussing when it is time to make the bed.

Point: The only sewing I usually do is to sew on buttons because I hate it so much. The effort it took for the spread was very much worth it !

I am looking into finding a chenille spread . I have a really good mattress with a great mattress pad and a few really wonderful, comfy sheets sets, but am tired of comforters or quilts. Not going to pay a ton of money for it tho. I love chenille anyway. guess I'll start checking out Wayfair, or Zulily or even Amazon and maybe Ebay-----and I would buy a used one if it were in great shape--maybe even check the thrift stores too.

I'm using Soft & Cozy blanket from HSN. Lightweight but warm enough. I'm keeping one down comforter (didn't even use last winter), everything else is Sort & Cozy.

there is none on HSN at this time.

About a year ago I bought a 100% cotton seersucker bedspread from Orvis, and love it! It's very well made, and washes easily.

I run hot at night, so it's perfect for me.

FYI to those of you who are sick of dust ruffles, but hate the look of a bare box spring beneath the mattress:

On our dad's bed, we used an attractive, coordinating fitted sheet to cover the box spring - no tripping over a dust ruffle.

You can use a fun color or pattern, and it looks great!
