FAQ's - Tablecloths

  • +

    Yes, we deliver across the United Kingdom. All tablecloths are dispatched and shipped directly to UK addresses. Delivery timelines and shipping costs are shown at checkout. We aim to make authentic Indian artisan craftsmanship easily accessible to homes throughout the UK.

  • +
    Are your Block Print Cotton Tablecloth options suitable for daily use?

    Yes, every Block Print Cotton Tablecloth is made from premium cotton, making it durable, washable, and perfect for everyday dining.

  • +
    What sizes of tablecloths do you offer for UK dining tables?

    We offer tablecloths in a range of sizes to suit standard UK dining tables — from 4-seater to 10-seater arrangements. Our rectangle tablecloths go up to 180×270 cm, which comfortably covers most large UK dining tables. We also stock round table covers up to 275 cm in diameter for circular tables. Size guides are available on each product page.

  • +
    Can I machine wash your block print cotton tablecloths?

    Yes, our block print cotton tablecloths are machine washable. We recommend washing on a gentle/cool cycle (30°C) to preserve the hand-printed colours and fabric quality. Avoid tumble drying on high heat — air drying or a low heat setting keeps the print vibrant and the fabric in excellent condition for longer.

  • +
    What is block printing and how is it done on tablecloths?

    Block printing is an ancient textile craft originating in Rajasthan, India. Artisans carve intricate patterns into wooden blocks, dip them in dye, and hand-stamp the design onto fabric — one block at a time. This entirely manual process means each tablecloth carries slight natural variations, making every piece truly one of a kind. No two block print tablecloths are exactly identical.

  • +
    Are Round Table Covers available in different prints and colors?

    Absolutely. Our Round Table Covers come in a variety of handcrafted block prints, colors, and motifs to complement any décor theme.

  • +
    What makes Roopantaran tablecloths different from regular high street table linen?

    Unlike mass-produced table linen found on the high street, every Roopantaran tablecloth is individually hand block printed by skilled artisans in Rajasthan, India. Each piece is crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations, with natural-process dyes and pure cotton fabric. You get a genuinely unique, ethically made product — not a machine-replicated print — that brings authentic artisan craft directly to your dining table.

FAQ's - Cotton Quilts

  • +
    What makes Indian quilts different from regular quilts?

    Indian quilts are handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques like hand-block printing and hand stitching, passed down through generations. Unlike machine-made quilts, each piece carries subtle variations that make it truly one of a kind. The use of pure breathable cotton also sets them apart from synthetic alternatives commonly found on the high street.

  • +
    Are Indian cotton quilts suitable for the UK climate?

    Absolutely. Pure cotton is a natural temperature regulator — it keeps you warm during cooler months and breathable during warmer spells. This makes Indian cotton quilts ideal for the unpredictable British climate, working well as a standalone layer or paired with a duvet.

  • +
    How do I wash and care for an Indian quilt?

    Most Indian cotton quilts can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle using mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying on high heat — air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric and hand-block printed colours. With proper care, they soften beautifully with every wash.

  • +
    Are the dyes used in hand-block printed quilts safe and non-toxic?

    Yes. Authentic Indian block-printed quilts use natural or Azo-free dyes that are safe for skin contact, including for those with sensitive skin. At Roopantaran, ethical and eco-conscious production is central to how our artisan partners work.

  • +
    What size Indian quilt do I need for a UK bed?

    UK bed sizes differ slightly from Indian or US standards. A Queen size quilt from our collection fits a standard UK double bed comfortably. Always check the product dimensions listed on each product page to ensure the right fit for your bed frame.

  • +
    Are Indian quilts ethically made?

    Yes — and this is one of the most important questions to ask. Roopantaran works directly with fairly paid artisans in India, ensuring safe working conditions and sustainable craft practices. Buying from us means supporting real makers and helping preserve traditional Indian textile heritage.

  • +

FAQ's - Bedspread Percale Queen Size

  • +
    Does a cotton percale bedspread shrink after washing?

    Minimal shrinkage can occur if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. To prevent this, wash at 40°C and tumble dry on low. Our cotton queen bedspreads are pre-washed to reduce shrinkage before dispatch.

  • +
    What is the difference between a bedspread and a duvet?

    A bedspread is a single flat layer that covers the entire bed, including pillows, and is purely decorative and lightly warming. A duvet is a thicker, filled insert used as the main bed covering, usually requiring a separate cover.

  • +
    What thread count is best for percale bedspreads?

    For cotton percale bedding, a thread count between 200 and 400 is ideal. Around 300 offers the best balance of softness, breathability and durability. Higher thread counts in percale can actually reduce airflow and feel heavier.

  • +
    How do I wash a cotton queen bedspread?

    Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on a low setting and remove promptly to avoid creasing. Avoid bleach. Cotton percale bedspreads get softer with each wash — no special care is required.

  • +
    Is a cotton percale bedspread suitable for all seasons?

    Yes. Cotton percale is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping you cool in summer and comfortable in winter. It regulates body temperature better than synthetic fabrics, making it an excellent all-season choice for UK homes.

  • +
    What size is a queen bedspread in the UK?

    In the UK, a queen size bed measures approximately 160 × 200 cm — the same as a small double. Our cotton percale bedspreads queen size are cut generously to provide a comfortable overhang on all sides.

  • +
    What is cotton percale bedding?

    Cotton percale is a plain-woven fabric with a one-over-one-under thread structure. It produces a smooth, matte, crisp finish that feels cool and breathable — ideal for UK bedrooms year-round. It softens naturally with every wash without losing its structure.

FAQ's - Bedspread Quilted King Size

  • +
    What size is a king size quilted bedspread in the UK?

    A standard UK king size bed measures 150cm × 200cm. Our king size quilted bedspreads are generously sized beyond the mattress dimensions — typically around 230cm × 250cm — to ensure a beautiful drape over both sides and the foot of the bed, giving you that polished, hotel-style finish.

  • +
    What is the difference between a quilted bedspread and a duvet?

    A quilted bedspread is a decorative, lightly padded layer designed to sit neatly over the top of your bed, adding texture, style, and a finished look. A duvet is a thicker, filled insert used inside a removable cover primarily for warmth. Quilted bedspreads are ideal for layering — use them over your duvet in winter or as a standalone cover in warmer months.

  • +
    Can I use a king size quilted bedspread on a super king bed?

    We recommend checking the exact dimensions before purchasing. A standard king size quilted bedspread may not provide sufficient drape on a super king bed (180cm × 200cm). For a super king, look for a bedspread measuring at least 260cm × 260cm to achieve proper coverage on all sides.

  • +
    Are your king size quilted bedspreads machine washable?

    Yes. Most of our quilted bedspreads are machine washable. We recommend washing at 30°C on a gentle cycle to preserve the quilting stitching and fabric colour. Always check the care label on your specific bedspread. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or lay flat to dry for best results.

  • +
    How is a quilted bedspread different from a regular bedspread or throw?

    A quilted bedspread has three stitched layers — fabric, padding, and backing — giving it structure and subtle warmth. A regular bedspread is flat with no padding, and a throw is smaller and purely decorative.
