I've always had a throw/twin sized quilt on top of all the other layers on the other side of our King-sized bed. Right now, we have a sheet, a blanket, a K-sized quilt and on my side the extra. Sometimes before we put on the blanket DH would also put a throw quilt on his side. The two smaller quilts don't match the King-sized and get folded up during the day most of the time.
