# Blanket Size Chart by Bed: 72x84, 84x90, 90x90, 108x90

By the Urban Picks team · Updated November 15, 2026

An 84 x 90 in blanket fits a full bed, with 15 in hanging over each side, and a queen, with 12 in. A 72 x 84 in blanket fits a full with 9 in over each side. A 60 x 80 in blanket is an oversized throw that covers a twin but does not hang over the sides of a queen. Blanket sizes are written width first and then length, so 84x90, 84 x 90 and 84 by 90 are the same size. This guide gives the chart for twin, twin XL, full, queen, king and California king, answers the three sizes people ask about most, and shows how to measure a bed with a deep mattress or a topper. Ships to US addresses only.

## Key takeaways

- 84 x 90 in fits a full (15 in over each side, 15 in at the foot) and a queen (12 in over each side, 10 in at the foot). On a king it hangs only 4 in over each side.
- 72 x 84 in fits a full best: 9 in over each side and 9 in at the foot. On a queen it hangs only 6 in over each side, and it is the same size as a California king mattress.
- 60 x 80 in is an oversized throw that some makers also sell as a twin blanket. On a twin it hangs 11 in over each side and leaves 5 in at the foot.
- Drop on each side = (blanket width minus mattress width) divided by two. Foot = blanket length minus mattress length. Use the standard mattress sizes: twin 38 x 75 in, full 54 x 75 in, queen 60 x 80 in, king 76 x 80 in.
- A throw is 50 x 60 in, a long throw 50 x 70 in and an oversized throw 60 x 80 in. A bed blanket takes its size from the mattress: about 66 x 90 in for a twin, 84 x 90 in for a full, 90 x 90 in for a queen and 108 x 90 in for a king.
- Measure the mattress with the topper on. A queen mattress 17 in deep needs a blanket 94 in wide to hang to the bottom edge; a 90 x 90 in blanket stops 2 in short and a 108 x 90 in blanket has 7 in to spare.
- Our blankets run from a 50 x 60 in throw to 90 x 90, 90 x 106 and 108 x 90 in bed sizes. Ships to US addresses only.

## Blanket size by bed: twin, twin XL, full, queen, king and California king

Sizes are in inches, width first and then length, so 84 x 90 in is 84 in across and 90 in long. Find your bed in the first column. The next columns give a size makers usually sell for that bed, the closest size we carry, how far the closest size hangs over each side and how much is left at the foot.

The figures use the standard US mattress sizes: twin 38 x 75 in, twin XL 38 x 80 in, full 54 x 75 in, queen 60 x 80 in, king 76 x 80 in and California king 72 x 84 in. Hang over each side is half the difference between blanket width and mattress width. The foot figure is blanket length minus mattress length, with the top edge of the blanket at the head of the bed. Makers use the size names loosely, so go by the inches rather than the name.

The raised heart throw comes in 60 x 80, 84 x 90, 90 x 90 and 108 x 90 in, and the reversible sherpa fleece blanket in 60 x 80, 90 x 90 and 90 x 106 in. The second column is arithmetic you can use on any blanket, ours or not.

## What bed does an 84x90 blanket fit?

An 84 x 90 in blanket fits a full bed. It hangs 15 in over each side of a 54 x 75 in mattress and leaves 15 in at the foot. It also covers a queen: 12 in over each side and 10 in at the foot, which just covers the side of a mattress 12 in deep.

On a twin it hangs 23 in over each side, so on a low bed it pools on the floor. On a king, which is 76 in wide, it hangs only 4 in over each side and covers little more than the top. On a California king it hangs 6 in over each side and 6 in at the foot.

We carry 84 x 90 in in the raised heart throw, in pink or light brown, at $23.76. If two people share a queen and the blanket keeps being pulled to one side, step up to 90 x 90 in, which hangs 15 in over each side.

## What bed does a 72x84 blanket fit?

A 72 x 84 in blanket fits a full bed best. It hangs 9 in over each side of a full and leaves 9 in at the foot. 72x84 and 72 by 84 mean the same size.

On a twin it hangs 17 in over each side and leaves 9 in at the foot. On a twin XL it hangs 17 in over each side and leaves 4 in at the foot. On a queen it hangs only 6 in over each side and leaves 4 in at the foot, so the sides of a mattress deeper than 6 in stay uncovered. A California king mattress is itself 72 x 84 in, so a 72 x 84 in blanket matches its top with no hang at all.

The nearest sizes we carry are the 84 x 90 in raised heart throw, which is 12 in wider and 6 in longer than 72 x 84 in and gives a full bed a 15 in drop, and the 60 x 80 in throws, which are 12 in narrower and 4 in shorter.

## Is a 60x80 blanket a throw or a bed blanket?

A 60 x 80 in blanket is an oversized throw that some makers also sell as a twin blanket. It covers a twin: 11 in over each side of a 38 x 75 in mattress and 5 in at the foot. On a twin XL it hangs 11 in over each side and ends level with the foot.

It is too narrow for a bigger bed. On a full it hangs 3 in over each side. On a queen, which is 60 in wide, it does not hang over the sides at all, and on a king it is 16 in narrower than the mattress. On a sofa, a 60 x 80 in throw turned sideways gives 80 in across for two people.

We carry 60 x 80 in in two blankets: the raised heart throw in pink or light brown at $19.38, and the reversible sherpa fleece blanket, listed as a twin, in black, sapphire blue, dark purple, light gray, emerald green, dark coffee and dark gray at $44.74 to $46.13.

## Throw or bed blanket: how the sizes differ

A throw has a usual size and a bed blanket takes its size from the mattress. The usual throw is 50 x 60 in, a long throw is 50 x 70 in and an oversized throw is 60 x 80 in. A bed blanket is about 66 x 90 in for a twin, 84 x 90 in for a full, 90 x 90 in for a queen and 108 x 90 in for a king.

A 50 x 60 in throw is 10 in narrower and 20 in shorter than a queen mattress, so it does not cover a bed. It works over your lap, on a chair or as a band across the foot of a bed: folded in thirds along its length it makes a band about 17 in deep and 60 in long, which runs edge to edge on a queen.

Three 50 x 60 in throws for comparison. The reindeer throw is red microfiber with white reindeer, trees and snowflakes and a white sherpa reverse. The Christmas sherpa throw is a printed fleece face over a sherpa reverse, 460 GSM, in eight prints. The heated throw has a flannel face, a Sherpa-style reverse and a wired handheld controller.

## How to measure a bed with a deep mattress or a topper

Measure the mattress, not the frame, with the topper on. Take three numbers with a tape: width across, length from head to foot, and depth from the top surface down to where the side of the mattress ends. A topper adds to the depth, so measure after it is on the bed.

The drop you need on each side is the depth, plus a few inches if you want the blanket to hang below the edge. Blanket width is then mattress width plus twice the drop. For example, a queen is 60 x 80 in. A 14 in mattress with a 3 in topper is 17 in deep, so a blanket that reaches the bottom edge on both sides is 60 plus 2 x 17, or 94 in wide. A 90 x 90 in blanket hangs 15 in and stops 2 in short of the bottom. A 108 x 90 in blanket hangs 24 in and has 7 in to spare.

Check the foot the same way: blanket length minus mattress length. On that queen a 90 in long blanket leaves 10 in at the foot, 7 in short of the bottom of the mattress. Most people let the foot hang a little shorter than the sides, since the top edge of the blanket usually stops at the pillows.

Then measure from the top of the mattress to the floor. If your drop is longer than that, the blanket will pool on the floor, which matters most on a low bed. For topper sizes, see https://urban-picks.com/guides/mattress-topper-size-guide.

## Our reversible sherpa fleece blanket by bed size

The reversible sherpa fleece blanket has a smooth fleece face and a fuzzy sherpa reverse, in four sizes: 50 x 60 in at $35.61 to $38.48, 60 x 80 in at $44.74 to $46.13, 90 x 90 in at $55.58 to $57.27 and 90 x 106 in at $64.54 to $65.73, depending on the color. There are seven solid colors. It is machine washable on cold and tumble dry low; for care details see https://urban-picks.com/guides/how-to-wash-a-sherpa-blanket.

On a queen the 90 x 90 in size hangs 15 in over each side and leaves 10 in at the foot. The 90 x 106 in size is sold for a king bed. On a 76 x 80 in king it hangs 7 in over each side and leaves 26 in at the foot, so it is long rather than wide. If you want a deeper drop at the sides of a king, the 108 x 90 in raised heart throw hangs 16 in over each side, at $26.64.

## Questions

- **What bed is an 84x90 blanket for?** A full bed, where it hangs 15 in over each side and leaves 15 in at the foot. It also fits a queen, with 12 in over each side and 10 in at the foot. On a king it hangs only 4 in over each side.
- **What bed is a 72x84 blanket for?** A full bed: it hangs 9 in over each side and leaves 9 in at the foot. On a queen it hangs only 6 in over each side. A 72 x 84 in blanket is the same size as a California king mattress, so it has no hang there.
- **Is a 60x80 blanket a throw or a bed blanket?** It is an oversized throw that some makers also sell as a twin blanket. On a twin it hangs 11 in over each side and leaves 5 in at the foot. It does not hang over the sides of a queen.
- **What size blanket do I need for a queen bed?** A 90 x 90 in blanket hangs 15 in over each side of a 60 x 80 in queen and leaves 10 in at the foot. An 84 x 90 in blanket hangs 12 in over each side, and a 108 x 90 in blanket 24 in.
- **What size blanket do I need for a king bed?** A 108 x 90 in blanket hangs 16 in over each side of a 76 x 80 in king and leaves 10 in at the foot. A 90 x 106 in blanket hangs 7 in over each side and leaves 26 in at the foot.
- **How far should a blanket hang over the side of a bed?** At least as far as the mattress is deep, if you want the side covered. A mattress 12 in deep needs a 12 in drop; a 17 in mattress with a topper needs 17 in. Add a few inches if you want it to hang below the edge.
- **How do I measure a blanket for a mattress with a topper?** Measure width, length and depth with the topper on. Blanket width is mattress width plus twice the depth you want covered. For a queen 17 in deep that is 94 in, so a 108 x 90 in blanket fits and a 90 x 90 in blanket stops 2 in short.
- **Is a throw blanket big enough for a bed?** Not for a full, queen or king. A 50 x 60 in throw is 10 in narrower and 20 in shorter than a queen mattress. It works over your lap, on a chair or as a folded band across the foot of a bed.
