bedspread

Decorative slumber covering

A bedspread is a decorative covering laid over a bed, typically reaching to the floor or near it.

Unlike sheets and blankets, which go under the sleeper, a bedspread goes on top of everything else, primarily for appearance: She smoothed the bedspread before the guests arrived.
