coverlet
Decorative bed layer
A coverlet is a bedspread, typically a lightweight decorative covering for a bed.
The word is somewhat old-fashioned, evoking quilted or woven bedspreads rather than modern duvets: She pulled the coverlet up to her chin.
Coverlets sit atop sheets and blankets, primarily for appearance rather than warmth.
