What We Mean by Bedsheet, Bedcover and Bedspread
Bed-linen labels are often used interchangeably in retail, so the construction on our product page is more useful than a rigid category definition. Our current range includes flat block print bedsheets and quilted cotton pieces described as bedspreads, bedcovers and coverlets.
We describe our Quilted Bedspreads as a lightweight all-weather AC quilt, coverlet or dohar, rather than a heavy winter razai. Our quilted bedspread contain filling sandwiched between soft mul mul layers.
Use the table below to compare the first-party specifications that matter: fabric, size, filling, reverse construction and included pillowcases.

| Cotton napkins | Phirki and Bagru napkins are listed as sets of two in 37 x 37 cm. Frilled organic cotton napkins are a set of two in 48 x 48 cm.

These first-party dimensions replace generic four-seater, six-seater and eight-seater assumptions. Table sizes vary, and the same cover can create a shallow or deep drop depending on the actual tabletop measurements.
How to Calculate the Tablecloth Drop
Measure the tabletop length and width. For each direction, subtract the table measurement from the cloth measurement and divide the result by two:
|
Drop at each end = (cloth length - table length) / 2 |
|
Drop at each side = (cloth width - table width) / 2 |
For example, a 150 x 225 cm block print table cover on a 180 x 90 cm table creates a drop of 22.5 cm at each end and 30 cm on each side. A 132 x 215 cm linen table cover on the same table creates a drop of 17.5 cm at each end and 21 cm on each side.
This calculation is more reliable than assigning one cloth size to a seat count. Choose the depth that suits your table, chairs and the occasion, then verify the product dimensions before ordering.
Table Cover, Runner and Napkins: What Is in Our Collection
We position our collection as block print table covers, runners and napkins:
- Table cover or tablecloth: covers the full tabletop and creates the base for the setting. We offer cotton block print table covers and a Block Print linen tablecloth.
- Table runner: Our current runner is 72 x 35 cm, made in cotton and described as hand block printed..
- Table napkins: our collection includes 37 x 37 cm linen and organic cotton options, a 48 x 48 cm organic cotton frill design, and quantities that vary between sets of two and a set of four.
We do not position our current collection around placemats, since the category page focuses on covers, a runner and napkins.
Cotton, Organic Cotton and Linen
Our cotton table covers use sheeting cotton. Our Whispering Sage product page specifies 40s sheeting cotton; '40s' is a yarn-count description, not a fabric-weight claim. Our Jamun and Petrichor cover is also listed in sheeting cotton.
The linen table cover and Bagru linen napkins use 25 lea linen. Organic cotton is used for several napkin sets, including 37 x 37 cm and 48 x 48 cm formats. These product-specific facts are more useful than describing one fabric as universally better for every household.
For everyday use, choose based on the care routine, desired drape and the exact dimensions. Linen shows more natural texture and creasing, while cotton and organic cotton offer a lighter, familiar table-linen feel.
Care Instructions for Table Linen
- Cotton and organic cotton products: our selected product pages specify a gentle cold machine wash, no bleach and line drying in shade.
- Belgian linen table cover and linen napkins: hand wash or use a gentle cold machine setting with mild detergent, avoid soaking, bleach and tumble drying, and line dry in shade.
- Where one of our product pages notes natural dyes such as indigo or madder, wash separately or with similar colours during the initial washes.
Keep the care guidance product-specific and avoid promising that all colour release stops after a fixed number of washes.
Styling Table Linen for Everyday and Festive Settings
A block print table cover can carry the main pattern, while plain crockery and solid napkins keep the setting calm. For a lighter look, use the table runner directly on wood or stone and add coordinating napkins without covering the whole table.
For seasonal ideas, read our Maker's Journal articles on using table linens for everyday and special occasions and Diwali home decor with Indian textiles. Coordinate the dining area with our cushion covers or bed linen to build a cohesive palette across the home.
