The Company Store Putnam Cotton Matelasse Bedspread: Tried and tested

Now that I’m no longer living in a centrally air-conditioned space, I’ve discovered, to my unpleasant surprise, that I sleep. In the middle of the night, I either wake up drenched in sweat or wake up because my boyfriend complains that I took all the covers off the bed. There are only a few months when our bedroom is actually cool enough for a heavy duvet. Since this realization, I have been on the hunt for the perfect lightweight blanket or bedspread. My ideal wish list for a bedspread: it’s comfortable to sleep on, a little heavy to mimic a blanket, and stylish enough to be the top layer of a bed.

You’d think this wouldn’t be difficult, but after testing four blankets, I began to convince myself that the bed of my dreams didn’t exist. One was too scratchy and almost plasticky and the other was too light. I needed to find Goldilocks of the Blanket. And luckily, I finally found one while testing The Company Store Putnam Cotton Matelasse Bedspread, which is currently 25% off with code FAMILY24!

The Company Store Putnam Cotton Matelasse bedspread is a 100% cotton bedspread that is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified. This bedspread is made in Portugal and in the traditional matelassé style, with a subtle but beautiful pattern of textured flowers and vines. Matching masks and bed skirts are also available. There are four sizes (I opted for the full 96″ x 110″) and a total of seven colors to choose from. The blanket is machine washable on cold and can be tumble dried on low.

This blanket meets all my criteria. It’s soft to the touch, heavy enough (like a mid-weight blanket) to keep me snug but comfortable, and looks chic on my bed. The Company Store advertises it as being for year-round use, and I would agree with that statement as if it were a hot sleeper. The heat took over my apartment on an unseasonably warm (70 degree) New York winter day, and I woke up this morning without a sweat. I decided on a thyme color because it adds a pop of color to my space without feeling overwhelming. I like my bedroom to feel as peaceful as possible.

When my friends ask for bedding recommendations, this comforter is at the top of my list. As you can imagine, as Apartment Therapy’s Shopping Editor, I’m often asked about my all-time favorite products, even though I give my endorsement to very few. I wouldn’t want my friend spending money on something I absolutely don’t like (and neither do you, the reader). This blanket is currently discounted for The Company Store’s Friends and Family Sale, so now is the time to add it to your cart using the code FAMILY24.
