The Best Matelassé Coverlets for a Sophisticated and Relaxed Bedroom Look

Best matelassé coverlets

Ever feel like something is missing in your bedroom? The addition of an element of textural beauty that speaks a bit of “luxury” while enticing you to cuddle in? 

When we say “coverlet” we are not just talking about an extra blanket; it is simply the finishing touch for your planned bed. It can lay like the weightless warmth of a cozy blanket, provide a timeless quilted look, and instantly make a room feel complete and almost impossibly chic. 

At Amity Home we think your home should be a reflection of YOU, a place of warmth, filled with beautiful things you really love. Our Matelassé coverlets are meant just for that very situation, fusing exemplary craft and classic style to provide a foundational layer you will enjoy for many years to come. 

The term Matelassé (pronounced mat-la-SAY), describes a French weaving or stitching technique which is used to create a pattern that looks quilted or padded-but contains no padding at all in the fabric. This ultimately provides you with a lovely, sculptural texture without the – not necessary or wanted- bulk. 

Below are some favorites from our exclusive collection to help you find a match for your sanctuary.

1] The Rio Matelasse, Natural

Looking for a refined, sleek basic that goes with anything?

The Rio Matelasse, Natural is your answer. This is an elegant classic matelassé made of mercerized cotton for a smooth, polished look and an incredible feel.  It features a fine stippling pattern for an elevated, yet understated, design that delivers timeless sophistication without being overly decorative. It is finished with a crisp, straight edge and flange for elegant simplicity.

Why we love it:

– It is a go-to basic—the neutral Natural color and smooth texture make it work with any design style.

– The mercerized cotton provides an elevated feel and appearance.

2] The Santiago Matelasse, Sandshell

If you desire a coverlet that provides a gentle, warm, sophisticated appearance, the Santiago is a popular choice.

The Santiago Matelasse is a beautiful new interpretation of a traditional style. It is made from mercerized cotton allowing for a sleek hand-feel and features an all-over stipple design for texture and interest. The color Sandshell the color is a perfectly balanced neutral; a soft warm hue that has dimension and depth but won’t dominate the bedscape. This style is also finished with a delicate feminine self-scalloped edge.

Why we love it:

– Sandshell offers an immediate warmth and coziness to a space. 

– The scalloped edges offer a classic accompaniment to the traditional Matelassé style.

3] Santiago Matelasse, White

If you’re looking for an immaculate, light-filled look reminiscent of a five-star hotel, the Santiago Matelasse in White is the unbeatable option.

The Santiago design has the same luxurious mercerized cotton and all-over stippling pattern as its Sandshell counterpart, but the fresh white color makes such a beautiful clean statement. This matelasse is perfect for grounding a minimalist room vibe while still providing that high-end designer-quality feel; a timeless freshness.

Why we love it:

– White provides an instant striking clean contrast with your other furniture and accent colors.

– The scalloped edging in this pure white makes this piece just a little elevated from basic.

– It just screams sophisticated, tailored glamour while providing the perfect backdrop for colorful throw pillows.

4] The Tipton Matelasse, White

Are you trying to create a cozy yet modern and slightly edgy feel?

The Tipton Matelasse is the answer. The Tipton is made from fine cotton, but has a great feel because of the lofty waffle weave. In crisp White, this coverlet adds a punch of texture while remaining clean and bright. Another notable feature is the double raw edged flange, which gives it a nice industrial chic or a relaxed, deconstructed aesthetic.

Why we love it:

– The waffle texture instantly has more of a tactile experience, textures are inviting and that’s the kind of coverlet you want to tuck your toes into.

– The pure White color keeps the room feeling light and airy.

– The raw edge flange has an interesting modern detail that keeps the aesthetic from feeling more like traditional Matelassé.

The taupe color adds rich, earthy warmth that grounds the bed and makes for a fantastic neutral option to white or grey. This shade pairs beautifully with deep wood tones, linen textures, and darker color palettes. Tufting with a story, this matelasse will enhance a sense of modern rustic elegance, comfort and coziness in your home. 

What we love:

– The warm taupe instantly makes a room feel more inviting and gives it a sophisticated moody feel.

Here are a Few Short Tips for Choosing Your Ideal Coverlet

About Matelassé Weight: Matelassé covers are great year round bedding! This light-weight option compromises ideal layering for those cooler months but is breathable enough for you to use during the warm months, too.

Texture is key: If you love a monochromatic look, let the texture of a matelassé (like the Tipton waffle weave or the Rio stippling) provide you with visual interest.

Think about the edge: The flange has meaning (scalloped edge like Santiago is more traditional and soft, a raw edge like Tipton works for casual and contemporary).
