What is Matelasse?

A favorite of decorators, this soft bed covering has raised relief patterns for beautiful dimension.

Matelasse (pronounced "mat-luh-say") is the French word for "padded." It is created using a special double cloth weaving process to achieve a very soft, decorative textured effect. Commonly made of 100% cotton, matelasse designs range from simple and graphic to fancy floral motifs or dramatic damasks.

Matelasse is beautiful on its own or as a layering piece for your bedroom. It can be very elegant when mixed with a formal ensemble or casual when combined with a simple patterned sheet.

What makes LinenSource Exclusive matelasse so special?

Our luxurious matelasse is woven by master weavers in Portugal, a country known for its exceptional linens. Every design must meet our exacting quality standards.

  • Bedspreads and coverlets are generously sized.
  • Hems are finished with scallop, overlock or simple straight edges.
  • Pre-washed to minimize shrinkage.
  • Easy-care; washable.
  • Becomes softer with every wash.
