Quilt Size Guide

Want to know the best quilt size for your mattress and bed? Check out the chart below for an approximation, plus an estimation of how far the quilt will hang from the top of the bed.
Quilt size chart: Standard quilt dimensions for twin, full, queen, and king beds
Quilt dimensions can vary widely depending on their intended purpose and the size of the bed they are designed for. Here's a detailed breakdown:
  • Crib Quilt (approx. 36" x 52"): These small quilts are perfect for babies and toddlers, with the quilt top designed to fit crib mattresses snugly. Also great for playtime on the floor or as blankets for strollers.
  • Throw Quilt (approx. 50" x 65"): These quilts are ideal for lounging on the couch or adding a cozy layer to a chair. Their size makes them easy to drape over furniture while still being large enough to wrap around you.
  • Twin Quilt (approx. 68" x 86"): A twin-sized quilt is meant for single beds and is slightly larger than the standard twin mattress (38" x 75"), allowing for enough overhang to cover the sides and foot of the bed.
  • Full/Double Quilt (approx. 76" x 86"): Full quilts widths are crafted to accommodate double beds, providing coverage without overwhelming the frame. They're slightly wider than twin quilts to cover the extra mattress width.
  • Queen Quilt (approx. 86" x 96"): These quilts are specifically designed for queen-sized beds, offering generous overhang on all sides for a balanced, polished look.
  • King Quilt (approx. 104" x 96"): Built for king-sized beds, these quilts ensure ample coverage across the entire surface, including the thicker mattress depth. They provide a luxurious drape fit for larger bed frames.
  • California King Quilt (approx. 100" x 98"): Slightly longer than the standard king, these quilts accommodate the unique dimensions of California King mattresses, offering adequate length and enough width for a neat finish.
When selecting a quilt, keep in mind your personal style preferences and how much overhang you’d like on the sides and foot of your bed.

When choosing a quilt size, you’ll first need to know the size of your mattress. (Measure your mattress first, then consult this chart for your mattress size.) From there, the chart above will give you approximate guidelines on some standard quilt sizing – but know that the above sizes are approximate and that manufacturer sizes will vary slightly. Also note the third column in the chart above – quilt drop, or how many inches you can expect the quilt to hang from the sides of your bed.

What Size Is a Queen Quilt?  

A queen-size quilt typically measures around 90 inches by 90-96 inches. This size is designed to fit a standard queen bed while providing enough fabric to drape over the sides and foot of the bed for an elegant, well-fitted look.

What Size Is a Twin Quilt?

A twin-size quilt commonly measures about 66 inches by 90 inches. This size fits standard twin or single-sized beds, offering enough coverage while maintaining a neat and tidy appearance.

What Are the Measurements of a King-Size Quilt?

The standard measurements of a king-size quilt are approximately 108 inches by 90-110 inches, depending on the style. This size ensures full coverage for a king-sized bed, with ample fabric to hang over the sides.

What Size Is a Full-Size Quilt?

A full-size quilt is typically about 78 inches by 90 inches. This size works perfectly for full or double beds, ensuring adequate coverage without excess overhang.
