Our #1 product, the Martha Washington’s Choice Bedspread

The original retailers of America’s favorite Bates style bedspreads!

Throughout the Civil War and both World Wars the Bates Manufacturing Company continued to weave its fine quality cloths, with bedspreads being the most rendered for the past 50 years. The Bates Manufacturing company opened its doors when America was a farming community of only 23 million people and 30 states. Now the weaving company is called Maine Heritage Weavers, a new company birthed in 2001 by former Bates Mill employees. The Bates Mill Store originally opened in the 1950′s to offer discounted second quality bedspreads to Bates Mill employees, but now we sell elegant first quality Bates bedspreads woven by Maine Heritage Weavers the same way that Benjamin Bates designed.

  	We couldn\'t be more pleased with our custom order for a Heritage bedspread in Sage Green. The dimensions are perfect, and the quality is superb, as was customer service. I got a Martha Washington spread from my grandmaother as a wedding gift 43 years ago. What a wonderful present. It lasted so long because of the high quality. As we move into our retirement home I was glad to be able to order the Spirit of America. Top quality and made in the USA. I\'m ordering John Adams in a king size today. Customer service from this company is great! Proud to be from Maine even though I live in California today. Keep up the good work. I bought a linen colored Bates bedspread very similar to the Queen Elizabeth several (around 10) years ago. I still love it! This style of spread is practically non-existent in department stores, etc. I\'ve been asked where I got it. I hope it lasts forever!! I have and still use a \"George Washington\'s Choice\" that was a gift to my parents in 1958, after our home burned. It\'s still in wonderful condition, even though its been used and washed countless times. It\'s a full size, but makes a wonderful coverlet on my queen size \"rice bed\" and just looks perfect. People often comment how \"beautiful it is, just perfect for that bed\". When I tell them it\'s over 50 years old, they just stare in disbelief. These are WONDERFUL bedspreads. I\'ve had the Martha Washington\'s Choice bedspread since the late sixties... for years I searched for another one and finally found the Bates store online. The new spread arrived today and I am delighted! The quality is just as it was years ago. Made in America by a quality company. Thank you Bates Mills I recently ordered the new Colonial Rose bedspread ... when it arrived I was thrilled! Not only is it well made, but it\'s also absolutely beautiful ... and lightweight enough for summer use here in Charleston. I couldn\'t be happier with it. Many thanks... I bought a Heritage Bedspread (or one very similar) in 1975. I was 19 years old and put it in my \'hope chest\'. I still have it and use it. The Bates tag printing has almost disappeared but the bedspread is still, amazingly, in beautiful shape. It is one of my treasures. At that age I knew nothing about bedspreads or quality but I remember seeing it in a store and knew it was something special. My marriage lasted five years- the bedspread has lasted 25-it was the better deal of the two! I received the Cape Cod bedspread about two weeks ago and I am very impressed. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it is wonderful to sleep under. The construction is of the highest quality; the finish work is superb. If you want a bedspread that you will enjoy for decades, buy this one. Don\'t waste your money on cheap imported imitations. I received my bedspread and I just love it! It is so classic, and beautifully made. I know I will enjoy it for many years. I looked and looked for a quality bedspread and purchased the Abigail Adams. I have never been more pleased. It still looks new after many washings which are necessary thanks to a large labrador retriever that can\'t resist it either. I feel privileged to own something of this quality.
