Blanket vs comforter, electric & weighted sizes
Blanket vs comforter: Both may say "king" or "queen," but a comforter is filled and lofted while a blanket is usually flatter. Compare the printed dimensions (for example 108 × 90 vs a different comforter cut), not the name alone.
Electric blankets: Choose the same bed size as your mattress (queen bed → queen electric blanket when available). Dual-control models are about wiring, not a different size chart.
Weighted blankets: Pick coverage close to your bed or body size from the chart above, then follow the brand's weight advice (often about 10% of body weight).
How to Choose the Right Blanket Size
For Standard Beds
- Measure your mattress: Record the length and width of your mattress in inches or centimeters.
- Calculate drop length: Decide on desired drop (typically 13-20 inches or 33-51 cm) for sides and foot.
- Add to dimensions: Add 26-40 inches (66-102 cm) to both length and width to get blanket size.
- Consider preferences: If you prefer more coverage, choose a larger size. For a tighter fit, choose smaller.
For Special Purpose Blankets
- • Baby blankets: 36 x 36 inches is standard for swaddling and comfort.
- • Throw blankets: 48 x 60 inches works well for sofas; many retail throws are 50 x 60.
- • Weighted blankets: Choose based on body weight (typically 10% of body weight) and bed size.
- • Travel blankets: 43 x 63 inches provides portability with adequate coverage.
Important Notes
- • Blanket sizes may vary slightly between manufacturers and brands.
- • Consider the material and thickness when selecting size, as thicker blankets may need more room.
- • For shared beds, ensure the blanket is wide enough to cover both sleepers comfortably.
- • Drop length is a matter of personal preference; some prefer more coverage while others prefer less.
- • Always check the specific product dimensions before purchasing, as sizes can vary by brand.
