As we officially head into summer this weekend, plenty of us will be eagerly anticipating time spent outdoors soaking up the warm weather. Light sleepers, however, won’t be quite so thrilled about the changing season.
Those who find even the thinnest tog unbearable during the night, yet can’t quite bring themselves to sleep completely uncovered, might want to think about picking up a bedspread. Incredibly versatile, bedspreads can serve as a quilt substitute throughout summer and double up as a blanket come winter.
At Dunelm, the Foxley Quilted Bedspread, £35, is ideal for year-round use, particularly thanks to its fresh and cheerful floral pattern.
The Foxley Quilted Bedspread is crafted to bring a touch of botanical elegance to any bedroom. Boasting a bright, blooming design, this charming bedspread can be used alone or layered with other bedlinen to create a warm and welcoming feel.

Constructed from 100% polyester microfibre, it is soft, hardwearing, and simple to maintain. The reversible design adds further flexibility, while the easy-care fabric means it can be popped in the washing machine with minimal ironing needed, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Dunelm also stocks a matching duvet set. The Foxley Ditsy Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set is priced between £14 and £30, depending on the size selected, and the Foxley Ditsy Blackout Eyelet Curtains start £45.
Boasting a straightforward eyelet header and blackout lining, the curtains effortlessly blend contemporary style with effective light control.
Made from a combination of recycled polyester and cotton, they offer a smooth yet hard-wearing finish. Coming in a variety of sizes, these curtains can be tailored precisely to your window measurements, guaranteeing a flawless fit for any room in the house.

Over at Dusk, the Milan Velvet Bedspread has been knocked down in the summer sale, now priced at £47 rather than £55. Constructed from a luxurious textured matte velvet fabric in silver, it also showcases an elegant ribbed velvet pattern for an irresistibly soft feel.
Alternatively, the Gingham Quilted Bedspread has been cut by a third at Sainsbury’s Habitat, now available for £33.33 down from £50. The 100% cotton fabric feels wonderfully gentle against your skin, while the quilted design adds texture and cosiness without the heaviness of a full duvet.
Designed to suit king-sized beds at 200x220cm, you’ll enjoy generous coverage that falls beautifully over the sides. It’s also machine washable, making it effortlessly easy to keep clean and fresh.
Back at Dunelm, the Foxley Quilted Bedspread has accumulated an impressive overall rating of 4.9 out of five from 32 reviews. One delighted customer said: “Lovely as a summer bedspread/throw, instead of a duvet and over a sheet in hotter weather.”
A second shopper wrote: “Lovely bedspread, great quality and value with a colourful and pretty print. I have wanted a bedspread for ages, I loved it so much I got the matching curtains and duvet set.
“I brought a beautiful garden into my bedroom,” penned a third reviewer. “This beautiful quilted throw turned my bedroom into a stunning flower-filled space.”
One customer, however, wasn’t quite as taken with the Foxley Quilted Bedspread, awarding it four stars. Their review reads: “Look of spring but can be used all year round. Lovely colours, but I would have preferred a softer fabric.
“Lovely bedspread, would have liked it just a little bigger for a king-size bed,” states another four-star review. “Fits fine with no duvet on bed. Obviously will be shorter when duvet is on in winter.”

That said, another delighted customer couldn’t speak highly enough of their latest Dunelm purchase, commenting: “Beautiful, generous bedspread/throw. A wonderful surprise to find an equally pretty pattern on the reverse.”
A further five-star review reads: “A very nice bedspread to match the Duvet set I bought previously. It brings me great joy when I go into my bedroom with the complete set to match the wallpaper.”
