King & Cal King · 3-piece set · Coverlet 106"W × 96"L · 2 King shams 20"W × 36"L · Textured matelassé · Stag head pattern · Rustic cabin style · Lighter than a comforter · Machine washable · $105.11
Quick Answer: A 3-piece King and Cal King matelassé coverlet set featuring a textured stag head pattern — 1 oversized coverlet (106"W × 96"L) and 2 King shams (20"W × 36"L). A coverlet is lighter and more tailored than a comforter — it lies flat and close to the bed rather than lofting above it. The stag head matelassé pattern is woven directly into the fabric construction, giving the coverlet a three-dimensional textured surface with a rustic cabin character. Machine washable. $105.11.
The stag head is one of the defining motifs of rustic, cabin, and lodge-style interior design — a symbol of the natural world and the wilderness aesthetic that defines those spaces. Rendered in matelassé — a jacquard weaving technique that creates a raised, dimensional surface where the pattern elements stand above the base fabric — the stag head becomes a tactile as well as visual presence on the bed. You can feel the contours of the antlers and the head form as much as see them at the scale of a King coverlet.
At 106"W × 96"L this coverlet is generously oversized — wider and longer than a standard King comforter — providing full side drape across both a King (76"×80") and Cal King (72"×84") mattress with room to spare. The coverlet format rather than a comforter is a deliberate choice for a cabin or rustic bedroom: the tailored, close-fitting profile of a coverlet suits the structured, layered aesthetic of lodge-style interior design better than the lofted, puffy silhouette of a comforter.
Three Pieces. All Dimensions Confirmed.
| Piece | Qty | Dimensions | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverlet | 1 | 106"W × 96"L | Stag head matelassé · Textured raised pattern · Fits King & Cal King |
| King Shams | 2 | 20"W × 36"L | Matching matelassé · Correctly sized for King & Cal King pillows |
💡 At 106"W × 96"L this coverlet is generously oversized — 2" wider and 4" longer than a standard King comforter (104"×92"). It fits both King (76"×80") and Cal King (72"×84") mattresses with appropriate side drape on each. The King shams (20"×36") are correctly sized for both King and Cal King pillows — standard shams (20"×26") are 10" too short.
What Is a Coverlet — and How Is It Different From a Comforter?
A coverlet and a comforter both go on top of the bed — but they behave very differently in terms of weight, profile, and styling. Understanding the difference helps you make the right choice for your bedroom and sleeping preferences:
| Property | Coverlet — This ✅ | Comforter |
|---|---|---|
| Profile on the bed | Flat and tailored — lies close to the mattress | Lofted and puffy — rises above the mattress surface |
| Weight | Light to medium — not a primary insulation layer | Medium to heavy — designed as the primary warmth layer |
| Seasonal use | All-season — lighter warmth; often layered over sheets or a blanket | Primarily autumn and winter — heavier insulation |
| Visual style | Structured, tailored — suits lodge, rustic, and classic aesthetics | Soft, billowing — suits cosy, relaxed bedroom styles |
| Pattern visibility | Pattern lies flat and reads clearly — especially in matelassé | Pattern can shift or scrunch with the lofted fill |
| Best use | Decorative top layer · All-season lightweight warmth · Layering piece | Primary insulation · Winter warmth · Single-layer bedding |
💡 For maximum warmth in cold seasons, layer this coverlet over a blanket or use it over a duvet insert. In spring and summer, the coverlet alone provides light warmth that a heavier comforter would make uncomfortable.
The Stag Head Matelassé — Wildlife Motif in a Three-Dimensional Weave.
Matelassé (from the French word for "cushioned" or "padded") is a jacquard weaving technique where the fabric is woven with two layers — a face layer and a ground layer — with extra weft threads creating a raised, dimensional surface in the pattern areas. The stag head motif is woven with raised elements that stand above the base fabric, creating a sculptural, tactile quality — the antlers, the head form, and the surrounding pattern elements have physical dimension that you can feel as well as see.
STAG HEAD MOTIF
The Defining Symbol of the Rustic Aesthetic
The stag — a male deer with full antlers — is one of the most enduring symbols of the natural world in decorative design. In cabin, lodge, and rustic interior traditions it appears in textiles, woodwork, and ceramics as a motif that connects the domestic space to the wilderness. On a King coverlet, the stag head pattern establishes the cabin aesthetic as the room's defining visual character.
MATELASSÉ CONSTRUCTION
Raised, Dimensional, Woven-In
The matelassé weave creates the stag head pattern as a physical, three-dimensional surface element — not printed on, not embossed after weaving, but woven with raised threads that stand above the base fabric. The pattern catches light and casts subtle shadows across the coverlet surface, giving it depth that changes as the room's light changes throughout the day.
106"W × 96"L
Oversized for King and Cal King
At 106" wide and 96" long, this coverlet is generously proportioned for both King and Cal King mattresses — wider than a standard King comforter (104"W) for fuller side drape, and long enough for appropriate foot coverage on both mattress lengths.
Who Is This Coverlet Set For? 4 Scenarios.
Scenario 1: You want a King master bedroom in a rustic cabin or lodge aesthetic — and a coverlet suits the tailored, structured look you're after.
The stag head matelassé is the right coverlet for a cabin or lodge bedroom where the visual language is structured, natural, and wildlife-inspired rather than soft and romantic. The flat, tailored profile of the coverlet suits the clean lines and intentional layering of lodge-style interior design better than the billowing silhouette of a comforter. The raised matelassé stag head reads as a premium textile detail across the full 106"W of a King or Cal King bed.
Scenario 2: You want an all-season King bed covering that layers well and provides light warmth without the heat of a heavy comforter.
A coverlet is lighter than a comforter — appropriate as a standalone sleep layer in spring and summer when a comforter is too warm, and easily layered over a blanket or under a duvet in autumn and winter for additional warmth. The King/Cal King coverlet at 106"W × 96"L is the right size to serve as the primary visible top layer year-round, with seasonal warmth layers added and removed beneath it as needed.
Scenario 3: You want matelassé quality in a rustic cabin motif — a textured woven pattern that can't be replicated by a printed alternative.
Most bedding with wildlife or cabin motifs uses printed fabric — the stag head is printed on the surface of a flat woven base. This coverlet's matelassé construction gives the stag head physical dimension — the pattern is raised above the base fabric, catching light and creating texture that a flat print doesn't have. For a King bedroom where the quality and character of the textile matters, the matelassé construction delivers at a level that a printed alternative simply can't.
Scenario 4: You want a meaningful gift for a cabin, hunting lodge, mountain home, or rustic-themed King bedroom.
A King matelassé stag head coverlet is a gift with a specific, unmistakable aesthetic character — it suits cabin owners, mountain house residents, hunting enthusiasts, and anyone whose King master bedroom has a rustic or wildlife-inspired design direction. At $105.11 it sits at an accessible gift price point for the quality of the matelassé construction and the completeness of the 3-piece set.
The Rustic Cabin Aesthetic — What Pairs With the Stag Head Coverlet.
The stag head matelassé positions this coverlet in the rustic, cabin, and lodge interior tradition — a design language defined by natural materials, wildlife motifs, dark or warm tones, and a connection to the natural environment. These are the pairings that complete the aesthetic:
- Dark and warm neutral walls — deep forest greens, warm charcoal, rich brown, and deep navy walls amplify the rustic stag head character; wood panelling and exposed timber walls are the ultimate backdrop; white walls work as a lighter, more neutral option that lets the coverlet's textured pattern lead
- Natural wood bed frames and furniture — log-style beds, reclaimed timber headboards, and dark-stained wood furniture are natural companions for the stag head matelassé; the combination of natural wood and wildlife-motif textile is the core material pairing of cabin and lodge design
- Layering with a plaid or wool blanket — in cooler months, folding a plaid wool or sherpa blanket at the foot of the bed over the matelassé coverlet adds warmth and reinforces the cabin material palette; the buffalo plaid herringbone comforter set is the most complementary cabin-aesthetic option in the catalog if a fuller comforter warmth layer is also needed for a separate bed
- Sheets & Pillowcases — white, cream, or warm natural-toned King fitted sheets under the stag head coverlet; all-cotton or flannel King sheet sets pair naturally with the rustic aesthetic; the coverlet set does not include sheets — browse the Sheets & Pillowcases collection for King and Cal King sheet options
- Pillows & Cushions — accent pillows in tartan, plaid, solid deep tones, or natural fabric textures (wool, linen, leather) in front of the two King matelassé shams complete the rustic cabin bed arrangement; keep accent pillow choices within the natural, warm material palette of the cabin aesthetic
- White Scalloped Quilted Throw 60"×72" — folded at the foot of the King bed; a white quilted throw provides a clean neutral accent layer against the stag head matelassé; the contrast of white and the natural warm tone of the coverlet reads as a light, considered accent without disrupting the rustic aesthetic
Care Instructions. Machine Washable.
- Machine washable — the coverlet and both King shams; use a large-capacity washer for the 106"W × 96"L King coverlet to allow free movement in the drum
- Cold wash, gentle cycle — cold water and a gentle cycle protect the matelassé weave construction and preserve the raised pattern elements; avoid hot water which can stress the woven structure
- Tumble dry low — low heat protects the matelassé construction; remove promptly to prevent any wrinkling of the flat coverlet surface
- No bleach — bleach permanently damages the matelassé weave and any colourway in the textured pattern
- Follow care label — always refer to the garment label for the most specific care instructions for this set's construction and colourway

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a coverlet and how does it differ from a comforter or quilt?
A coverlet is a lightweight to medium-weight bed covering that lies flat and close to the mattress — it has a tailored, structured profile rather than the lofted, puffy silhouette of a comforter. A comforter has a thick fill layer and is designed as the primary warmth source. A quilt has three stitched layers and sits between a coverlet and comforter in weight. A coverlet is typically used as a decorative top layer with warmth layers (blankets, duvets) beneath it, or as a standalone light-warmth covering in warmer months. The flat profile shows matelassé patterns most effectively.
Does this coverlet fit both King and Cal King beds?
Yes — the 106"W × 96"L coverlet fits both King (76"×80") and Cal King (72"×84") mattresses with appropriate side drape on each. Both bed sizes use the same 20"×36"L King pillows, so the included King shams are correctly sized for both. At 106" wide, the coverlet is generously proportioned — 2" wider than a standard King comforter (104"W) — for fuller side coverage on either mattress.
What is matelassé and why does the stag head pattern look three-dimensional?
Matelassé is a double-weave jacquard technique where extra weft threads create raised, padded pattern elements above the base fabric — the stag head motif is literally woven to stand above the fabric surface, giving it physical dimension. The pattern elements catch light and cast subtle shadows, changing their appearance as the room's light changes through the day. A printed stag head pattern sits flat on the fabric surface; this matelassé stag head has a three-dimensional quality that makes it tactile and visually rich in a way that printing cannot replicate.
Will this coverlet keep me warm enough on its own?
A coverlet provides light to medium warmth — comfortable as a standalone sleep covering in spring and summer, or in temperature-controlled bedrooms year-round. In colder months, layer the coverlet over a blanket or sheet set for additional warmth beneath it, or use it as the decorative top layer over a duvet or heavier blanket. The flat, tailored profile of the coverlet makes it ideal as the visible top layer in a layered King bedding arrangement across all seasons.
What bedroom styles does the stag head motif suit?
The stag head is the signature motif of cabin, lodge, hunting retreat, and rustic mountain interior design — it suits any bedroom where a connection to the natural world and the wilderness aesthetic is part of the design direction. It also works in Scottish Highland-inspired interiors, Scandinavian-influenced rooms where wildlife motifs are traditional, and any bedroom where a bold, graphic, nature-derived pattern is appropriate. It is not suited to minimalist, urban contemporary, or pastel-palette bedrooms — it is a strong aesthetic statement that requires a compatible interior context to read well.
How does this coverlet relate to the buffalo plaid herringbone comforter set?
The 7-piece buffalo plaid herringbone comforter set ($167.59, King) is the other cabin farmhouse option in the catalog — a fuller 7-piece comforter set with a bed skirt and three embroidered decorative pillows. Choose this stag head matelassé coverlet for the tailored, structured look and the wildlife motif in matelassé construction; choose the herringbone set for the bold buffalo plaid pattern, the lofted comforter warmth, and a fully dressed bed including bed skirt and decorative pillows.
