Coverlets: Traditionally used as a decorative cover over a blanket on a formal bed. Today, coverlets are meant to be layered under a comforter + duvet cover. A coverlet may be tucked in or left untucked, according to its weight and your preference. A comforter + duvet cover is then folded at the foot of the bed on top of the coverlet, for easy access to greater warmth and a luxurious look.

Blanket Cover: Unlike a bedspread, a blanket cover does not extend to the floor, but usually ends just below the bottom of the mattress. It is often made of a matelassé, diamond piqué or jacquard fabric, and may serve as a lightweight bedcover or coverlet. Traditionally it was a 'covering' for the blanket giving a more formal look, blanket covers may also be used underneath a comforter + duvet cover.

Matelasse: From a French word meaning cushioned or padded, this fabric is jacquard-woven to create a raised pattern with a quilted or sculpted effect. Matelasse material tends to wear very well, and it is often used as a blanket cover or coverlet (and the term is often used interchangeably), but matelasse material can be used for shams, bed skirts, throws and more.
