Bed Throws - Size Guide

The diagrams below give an approximate scale indication of how our throw sizes relate to various sizes of UK beds.
Please note the following:

• A throw is not the same as a bedspread and was never designed nor intended to cover the whole of your bed (including pillow area) with overhang to all sides. If you want a bedspread, we can supply something made to your personalised size requirements, please see Custom Sized Throws. Our throws look great folded at the foot of the bed when not in use, and can add interest to plain or contrasting bedding.
• The diagrams below relate to common UK-manufactured bed (mattress) sizes. European and North American bed sizes are slightly different - see the table below for the exact dimensions. European sizes are now commonly sold in the UK - IKEA beds for example are European sizes.
• The diagrams show only the mattress size of the bed. The actual amount of overhang to the sides and foot (where applicable) will depend on the amount and thickness of bedding used beneath, and can vary with time of year (e.g. switching from thicker winter duvet to thinner summer duvet). If you have any doubts as to your exact requirements we recommend that you measure your bed carefully with bedding in situ, then possibly cut out a lifesize throw shape from an old sheet.
• In the case of patterned/striped fabrics, the pattern will always run along (parallel with) the long dimension of the throw unless you choose to have a throw made especially for you, please see Custom-Made Throws.
• The quality Faux Suede backing used in our throws guards against slippage, even if there is not much "overhang"
