Then we have a 'California King' size, but I'm not sure what
the dimensions are on that one. --------------------------------- I know what you're saying...some years ago we decided to buy a new mattress set, and the sizes totally confused me. There was also a Twin, Double, Extra Long Double, King, California King, Eastern King, and a Queen and an extra long Queen, plus you can order your own mattress made to your own dimensions, especially if you have a custom made bed, or an antique one. And don't forget the ever popular Bunk bed mattress. Plus all they've thought up since that bewildering shopping trip. |
Cal King is 72 x 84".
Yes, mattresses ARE getting deeper! |

Hi Caroline - here is a translation:
Bassinett = crib Crib = cot Twin = single bed Full = double bed Queen = larger double, 6" wider and longer King = huge California King = ridiculously huge |

If you google "quilt sizes," you will find several sites that list not only quilt sizes, but also mattress sizes. However, I've found it most reliable just to measure the top of a given bed and decide how long I want it to hang over the sides, and how much room I want at the foot and the top (do I want to allow enough to "encase" pillows or just to lie flat?), and then go from there.
One such site gives the following information for queen sizes: For quilts: usually between 88"-99" wide; length about the same. Queen mattresses are usually 60" x 80". But you would have to add to this significantly, if you wanted more overhang, possibly as much as 13" on each side. |
I don't know for sure about quilt sizes but I have researched a little about this and this is what I came up with ... if anyone else knows differently ... please let me know:
Crib 32x48 Twin 69x90 twin xl 69x102 full 84x90 queen 90x95 king 106x98 |
