(All fabrics used for cubicle curtains are typically used for healthcare bedspreads. However any fabrics offered by us can be used.
Because of the bed tray and various bed mechanisms, bedspreads are shorter at the end of the bed (normally 7" to 9") and tailored so as not to get in the way. We offer a choice of 3 drop lengths - 9", 15", and 21", all of which leave clearance between the spread and the floor. Along with the drop length do not forget mattress length and width. |

HCR STYLE
Hospital-style beds, used in healhcare facilities, create special requirements for bed coverings. The beds are adjustable, therefore the drops (sides) of the bedspread do not normally go to the floor. A 15” drop is most common. At the end of the bed, the drop is commonly 7” to 9” so that it does not interfere with the controls.
FILLING:
We offer 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 ounce bonded polyester fiber commercially manufactured quilted bed coverings.
LINING
The content, quality, and construction of the backing are critical to the longevity of the bedspreads. Our standard backing is a preshrunk 70/30 poly/cotton blend (63x37 count) designed to be compatible with all face fabrics in use today. These backings do not have fill or sizing which can cause problems. FR backings and colored linings are available as optional upgrades upon request.
PRE-SEAM
The pattern is matched as the paneled fabric is joined with a safety stitch It is then quilted on a modern lock stitch machine. Pre-seamed bed coverings are far superior to post-seamed bed coverings. Stitch popping and seam slippage are far more likely when using post-seamed bed coverings. Always insist on pre-seamed, computerized quilted bedspreads and coverlets.
SEAMLESS
Wide-width fabrics (110” - 126”) are available in many options. These wide-width fabric patterns can be more limited and there are some size constraints. Please be advised that the pillow tuck will be reduced as the drop increases. The maximum finished length using a 126” good is approximately 119”. Fill weights over 8oz can also reduce the maximum finished length.
Single needle hem 1” lock stitched through quilting prevents the hem from unraveling.
