Bedspreads are a popular choice for those who prefer a simple, classic look. Bedspreads cover the entire bed and often reach the floor, providing a clean, polished look.


Medium-size towels, on the other hand, strike a balance between compactness and functionality. Medium-size towels are versatile and can be used for many purposes, such as drying off after a quick shower or using them in the gym or pool. Medium-size towels are convenient for everyday use, easy to store, and don't take up much space.
In addition to size, high quality towels is also crucial. Look for towels made from high-quality absorbent materials like Egyptian cotton towels or Turkish cotton towels.
Both linen and cotton make excellent bedding fabrics and share quite a few similarities — most notably their water-absorbent qualities and that refreshing, airy feeling. But there are quite a few differences as well, and being aware of them can make it easier for you to choose between the two.
It should be noted: Not all coverlets are Matelassé. Matelassé is a specific type of fabric and its finishing, not the actual article of bedding. Matelassé is derived from a French word referring to the way a fabric is finished. It is a textile that has texture woven into it so it looks quilted. Matelassé can be made into both coverlets and pillow shams.
