That would depend on the bed it was going on. My full size and my twins are longer that wide. The full sits so high up that it can take more of a drape over the side than the twin. Now my king, that's a different story. It's actually more square that long. I have a problem even when buying for king to get it to drape over the sides far enough; no problem at the end. Since I don't have a footboard I'd like it to drape down past my boxsprings and I can't get on to do that. If you like it square leave it alone or change it as needed.I did make a twin size one that is meant to be more of a throw for my son and after looking at it decided it needed to be longer since he's over 6ft.
