A queen blanket is a blanket specifically sized to fit a queen-size bed, providing ample coverage for one or two sleepers.
Understanding Queen Blanket Dimensions and Coverage
Queen blankets are designed to fit the standard dimensions of a queen mattress and typically measure 90 inches wide and 90-100 inches long. This size is chosen to ensure sufficient coverage for a queen bed, which is typically 60 inches wide and 80 inches long.
The generous dimensions allow the blanket to drape over the sides and foot of the mattress. With a traditional 60x80 queen-size mattress, a queen blanket should have approximately:
- Overhang on the sides: 15 inches on each side.
- Overhang at the bottom: 10-20 inches.
This overhang provides warmth and prevents drafts, ensuring comfort for individuals or couples sharing the bed.
Choosing the correct blanket size is essential for both comfort and aesthetics, ensuring the blanket covers the mattress adequately without being too large or too small.
