Dunelm shoppers are swapping their duvets for the Helston Quilted Bedspread, a £30 bedspread that has earned an average rating of 4.8 out of five stars from nearly 500 reviews. Available in 12 colours, it is being hailed as a 'stunning' solution for hot summer nights.
Product Features and Pricing
The Helston Quilted Bedspread is priced from £30 to £40 depending on size. It features a classic quilted design and comes in a range of colours, including black, white, grey, terracotta red, and peacock teal. Made from recycled polyester, it is described as 'soft and inviting'. Polyester is known for its durability and resistance to wrinkling, though it may not be as breathable as cotton or linen.
Shopper Feedback
One shopper said: 'This is perfect for the summer, we are really pleased with the quality of this. It has a lovely soft smooth texture, almost like a velour feel. It's nice and light but heavy enough to feel you have something on you.' Another called it a 'summer essential', adding: 'This bedspread is the perfect addition to anyone's bed set up during the summer! Myself and my partner are both very warm sleepers so we needed something light to keep us cosy and cool.'
A third reviewer praised its year-round versatility: 'I cannot rate this bedspread highly enough! We wanted something cooler for the summer months so thought this bedspread would be great for that. Little did we know that the temperature would then drop again shortly after we started using it. Not only did it keep us cool on warm evenings, but it kept us toasty warm on cooler nights!' Another customer wrote: 'The bedspread is brilliant - just right for the warm weather and a super price. Would definitely recommend it.'
Criticisms
However, not all feedback was positive. One customer noted: 'A bit disappointing in terms of wear and tear, bobbling easily.' Another was underwhelmed by the colour: 'The bedspread is very good quality for the price, unfortunately the grey colour was more a green-y grey. I do not leave it on my bed because it looks an odd colour but I'm happy to use it on cold nights.'
Comparison with Alternatives
Marks & Spencer offers a Cotton Rich Quilted Throw with a similar look, made from 85% cotton and 15% linen, but with a 100% polyester filling. It ranges from £45 to £85. Next's Crinkle Textured Bedspread, priced between £35 and £65, is also 100% polyester and comes in seven colours. The Helston Bedspread remains a more affordable option starting at £30.
