Jacquard bedspread: specifications and photos

The bed, which is the center of the bedroom, should look luxurious and cozy at the same time. This is how she can make a Jacquard cover because of her complex pattern of intertwined threads. The unique refinement of the situation will help to emphasize pillowcases on pillows of the same material and colors. What is so attractive about jacquard fabric?

Features of jacquard

A repeating relief pattern underlies the jacquard fabric, which can be made from both natural and artificial material. The product made of silk and cotton threads, often with the addition of viscose, is distinguished by a special iridescent shine. The relief and high strength of the multilevel pattern provide threads that differ in thickness, color and structure.

The magnificence of the fabric is invariably a priority for textile manufacturers and interior designers. It creates Jacquard bedspreads on a sofa or a bed, elegant clothes are sewn, covers and curtains, it drapes the walls and hammers upholstered furniture.

It would be a mistake to consider jacquard one of the types of fabric or just a pattern. In fact, it is a symbiosis of both, a special technique, a special weaving art. Despite the fact that the oldest machines on punch cards were replaced by the latest computer devices, the technique of weaving the most complicated drawings, invented two hundred years ago by a French master and named by his name, remains unchanged to this day.

Reasons for popularity

There are so many reasons why for more than two centuries Jacquard bedspreads on the bed have always been popular. What are the advantages, except for the extraordinary beauty, thanks to which the jacquard product will decorate any interior, attract the attention of buyers to this kind of fabrics?

• The wear, durability, which is explained by the special technique of weaving threads.
• Relief and density, which allows creating effective drapery.
• Wear resistance. The fabric retains its original appearance for a very long time.
• Good thermal conductivity. The fabric is quite dense, and the veil with success can replace a blanket.
• Lightness and compactness.
• The cover is unpretentious in care, it can be washed, adhering to a delicate mode, and it does not require ironing.

The quality product of the famous brand is quite expensive, which is perhaps the only drawback that the Jacquard cover has. Turkey and China produce budget variants of a popular commodity.

Simple and multilayered options

On sale there are two types of products: a simple jacquard cover and a multi-layer (quilted). The first variant, consisting of one layer of dense fabric, has a two-sided pattern, that is, it does not have a wrong side, and either side can be chosen by the hostess as a dressing.

A multilayered sample consists of three layers:

• The front part is directly jacquard fabric, consisting of a beautiful, but complex pattern.
• The inner layer, it's a filler, which is a voluminous ecological material that does not cause allergies and perfectly retains heat. It can be sintepon, silicone or polyester (in more expensive models), combining the quality of wool and cotton, but remaining extremely durable.
• As the bottom of the veil, satin is most often used, which determines the incredible softness and comfort of the product.

All three layers are joined by a patterned or geometric quilt, which emphasizes the fabric ornament and at the same time keeps the filler from offset, thus increasing the longevity of the veil.

Jacquard bedspreads on the bed

To make the product really become an ornament of the interior, it is important to determine how the bed will be refilled and in accordance with these ideas to calculate the size of the proposed purchase. The calculation looks something like this:

• The width of the mattress plus the distance to which it is planned to lower the fabric, covering the side parts of the bed.
• The length of the mattress plus the length of the fabric that covers the ends of the bed, if they do not have backs.

In such a calculation, the error does not sneak in when the owners know exactly how they plan to fill the box in the future. There are three main ways to beautifully decorate a bed.

• Classical. The cover is longer than the mattress by 12-15 cm.
• Oriental. The edges covered completely hide the legs of the bed and lie on the floor.
• Strict (European). The coverlet is fully tucked under the mattress from all sides.

Price of issue

The price of a jacquard blanket depends on the country in which the fabric is made, and what its composition is. The more it contains natural fibers, the more expensive. For example, expensive and very high-quality Portuguese models consist of 100% of the best Egyptian cotton. Not inferior to them at a price and goods of European manufacturers. The starting price for them is 16 thousand rubles. Bedspreads, which can truly be called works of art, cost more than 20 thousand rubles. If such figures are frightening, you should look for copies of joint production. Some Italian brands produce their products at Chinese factories. Cheap labor, coupled with a mixed composition of fabric (natural yarn plus synthetic fibers) makes it possible to produce luxury, but cheaper models.

The budget option is a Chinese blanket made entirely of synthetic fiber. Turkish fabrics are considered more quality than Chinese fabrics, and are often made entirely of natural cotton.

Supporting the Russian businessman, you can choose inexpensive, but very high-quality domestic jacquard coverlets (Ivanovo). Our textile enterprises today prove their ability to offer customers fabrics from natural materials that are not inferior to European counterparts.

Tips for choosing

The assortment covered is really huge, and any person can find that unique model that will suit his tastes completely. However, it happens that the variety available only complicates the decision making process. A few tips from professionals:

• Focus on the bed. When the interior in the room is made in neutral pastel colors, the cover of the contrasting color scheme looks very impressive.
• The color of the furniture. This design is especially advantageous when the jacquard cover is tucked under the mattress.
• Under the color of the walls. Harmoniously, it looks like an option, in which the color tone of the walls and bedspreads coincide, differing only in ornamentation and decoration.
• Curtains are companions in color. For example, the curtains are white with a blue pattern, and the blanket, on the contrary, is blue with white ornaments.

Whichever choice is made, the main thing is that this wonderful piece of interior creates comfort and harmony in the room, gives warmth and joy.
