Shoppers should keep in mind, however, that the style of the Fitted Bedspreads is also relevant to the size. For instance, some bedspreads are meant to cover the entire bed, coming down to the floor at the bottom and sides. Other types of Fitted Bedspreads are designed to be used with bed ruffles, so may only extend halfway down and sides and bottom of the bed.
Though the width and length are essential to finding the correct sized fitted bedspreads, buyers need to also consider the thickness of the mattress and box springs and add it to the width and length.

Sometimes cotton blends are used that are lightly backed with polyester filling to increase the warming potential.
