Blanket Size Chart — Throw, Twin, Queen & King Dimensions
A blanket size chart with typical throw, twin, queen, and king dimensions, how they map to mattress sizes, and how to pick a blanket size for a bed or couch.
PUBLISHED JUL 5, 2026
Blanket sizes aren’t as standardized as mattresses, but there are typical ranges for each name. Use this chart to match a blanket to a couch or a bed — and remember the golden rule: exact dimensions vary by maker, so always check the listing.
Typical blanket dimensions
| Blanket | Typical size (inches) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Throw | 50 × 60 | One person on a couch or a bed accent |
| Twin | 60 × 80 to 66 × 90 | A single bed, or a generous couch throw |
| Full / Queen | 90 × 90 | Covering a full or queen bed |
| King | 90 × 108 to 108 × 90 | Covering a queen or king bed edge-to-edge |
The EXQ Home blankets map onto this range: the waffle patchwork and checkered knit throws are 50 × 60; the coffee turtle-shell is a 60 × 80 twin; and the beige turtle-shell king is 90 × 108.
Standard mattress sizes (for reference)
Mattresses are standardized, so match the drop you want against these:
| Bed | Mattress (inches) |
|---|---|
| Twin | 38 × 75 |
| Full | 54 × 75 |
| Queen | 60 × 80 |
| King | 76 × 80 |
A blanket that just covers the mattress top has no drape; one sized a bed up gives a generous drop over the sides. For couch-specific advice, see what size throw blanket for a couch.
How to choose
- Couch or accent: a 50 × 60 throw.
- Single bed or to share on a sofa: a twin (around 60 × 80).
- Cover a queen or king bed: a king blanket (90 × 108).

Frequently asked questions
The most common throw size is 50 × 60 inches — a one-person couch or accent layer. Some throws run a little longer (50 × 70), but 50 × 60 is the standard.
A king-size blanket (around 90 × 108 inches) covers a queen mattress with a full drop. A "queen" blanket around 90 × 90 covers the top well but drapes less on the sides.
No — blanket sizing is less standardized than mattresses, and dimensions vary by maker. Use typical ranges as a guide and always confirm the exact size on the product listing.
A 50 × 60 throw suits one person; a twin (about 60 × 80) covers two or drapes generously over a larger sofa. See our couch-specific size guide for more.
