The Fuzzy Feel of a Chenille Bedspread

There are terms that we've heard on more than one occasion, but would scratch our heads if someone asked us to define them.

"Chenille" is one of them. If you're choosing bedding for a bed, then you should certainly consider a chenille bedspread. The word "chenille" translates into "caterpillar" in French. But what does a caterpillar have to do with a fabric, right? The fabric's name originates from the short hairs of caterpillars, which give them a furry appearance.

If you're planning to buy a bedspread made of chenille, then here are some brand names to keep in mind:

Antique Chic
California King
Calvin Klein
Cody Direct
Croscill Alligator
Indian Star
Liz Claiborne
Martha Washington's Choice
Peace Angel
Peacock Alley
Pike    Street
Pinzon
Springmaid
Stylemaster
Tree of Life

When shopping for chenille bedspreads, here are some features to consider:

1. Color
Color counts when choosing a bedspread. That's because the color will visually affect the bed's bedding ensemble, and the overall look of the room. Everything in the bedroom doesn't necessarily have to be the same color or hue. You could create some contrast by using shades of a certain color, using complementary colors, and so on. But you'll definitely want to avoid the bedspread's color clashing with the bed's other beddings, or with the other decor in the room.

2. Price
The prices of chenille bedspreads will vary based on factors such as the manufacturer, the size of the bedspread, and so on.

3. Size
It's of the utmost importance that you get this right. Never assume that the sizing of bedspread manufacturers is exactly the same as the size of your bed. An undersized bedspread will leave part of your bed exposed, while an oversized bedspread could drag on the ground. If you're uncertain whether a particular chenille bedspread would fit on your bed, then take the bed's measurements before making a purchase.

4. Style
You might be surprised at how varied the style of chenille bedspreads can be. Whether you want a traditional or contemporary look and feel, you can find a particular piece that meets your needs. The key is to consider any themes or color schemes that you want to maintain in the room, and then base your decision on those goals.

5. Texture
Texture is definitely one of the most important factors to consider when buying bedspreads. We spend roughly a third of our lives sleeping, so it's crucial that we're comfy in the process. While many discover that the fuzzy feel of a chenille bedspread makes them snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug, others may feel itchy. So before buying such a bedspread, do a basic test to determine how you think about the feel of the fabric. You might determine that the texture will keep you awake, or you could conclude that it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Chenille is definitely one of the most luxurious types of fabric available on the market. Consider these features to find top-quality chenille bedspreads at rock-bottom prices!
