Sablemable featured a photo that included these great bedspreads in a post for on Ruth’s blog No Pattern Required. Snaps for finding the best source yet (I think) for bedspreads with a true mid-century look. Look at any catalog from about 1955 on, I’d say, and this sort of slubbed satin, uphostered and welted bedspread was ubiquitous. Touch of Class has the style in 6 colors, available for all bed sizes — and including twins that look like they are straight of the Dick Van Dyke Show — and, daybeds. They have additional colors in microfiber, if you want to split the difference between style-decades. Mid-century style bedspreads and daybeds at Touch of Class.

Bedspreads for your mid-century bedroom
Mid-century modern bedroom — lovely
11 tips for your mid-century bedroom design








You know I love mid century style….. but I’ll admit that quilted bedspreads are one of the things that I’m not going to incorporate into my home! Yes, there were some things about the era that should stay there!
I really like quilted/boxed bedspreads, but LOVE the Majesty Grande flounced bedspread. Flounced bedspreads are the only way to go for those of us rooted more firmly in the 40′s glam look! Very reminiscent of the hollywood glamour era when flounced (usually satin) bedspreads were all the rage!
Great finds………
Thanks for the mention, Pam!
I’m dying for one of those bedspreads!
My parents had this style bedspread when I was growing up and I remembered everything slid off of it – including small children! I must have one – or two.
I’ve been looking for a bedspread just like this! Robin’s egg blue to match my wallpaper with those corners as our bedroom is so small a regular corner sticks out too much. Thanks!
Found an ad for ones similar to these in an Australian Home Beatuiful magazine from 1955 – featuring a wonderful illustration of a Manhattan style mid-century modern bedroom and balcony and stating “in Manhatten Penthouse, 5th Avenue mansions, and Long Island estates, tailored quilted spreads are all the rage”.
I had one in a lilac colour when I was little and I wonder what happened to it!
These are so fabulous — I love that tailored look.
I LOVE those type of bedspreads! I have a few vintage 40s ones…a green satin, a blue satin with curtains and 2 atomic ones. Those modern examples are really great.
Thanks for the mention Pam and thanks for the great contribution, Sable! Loved that post and this one!
