The right quilt size depends on your mattress and the look you want. A quilt that just covers the top of the bed looks tidy. A quilt that hangs a few inches over each side looks fuller and keeps you warmer.
Standard mattress sizes
- Twin: 38 x 75 inches
- Full: 54 x 75 inches
- Queen: 60 x 80 inches
- King: 76 x 80 inches
- California King: 72 x 84 inches
Typical quilt sizes
Quilt sizes vary by brand, so always check the measurements on each product page. As a rough guide, many of our quilt sets come in these sizes:
- Twin quilt: about 68 x 86 inches
- Full/Queen quilt: about 90 x 90 inches
- King/Cal King quilt: about 104 x 90 inches
How to choose
- Measure your mattress width and length, plus its depth if you have a thick or pillow-top mattress.
- Add the drop you want on each side. 10 to 15 inches is common.
- Pick the quilt size closest to that total width. Size up if you share the bed or like extra overhang.
Do quilt sets include shams?
Most of our quilt sets include matching pillow shams. Twin sets usually include one sham. Queen and King sets usually include two. Check the product listing for exact contents.
