Don't know off hand the dimensions.

I sewed one reversible --pink more feminine one side / blue manly stripe on the other as easier for them to keep in hurst. Did not need batting then either.
Owner told me to make long enough to cover the whole gurney but not as wide as a quilt so not to get caught in
the movement of the legs folding --like an ambulance gurney. Suggest you call and ask for size as I only have a pic.
