These different sizes cater to various needs and preferences, from providing comfort to infants to decorating and covering different mattress sizes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Specialty Blanket Sizes:<\/strong> Some blanket sizes are specifically designed for particular purposes or stages of life, such as loveys for infants, cradle blankets for babies in cradles, or lapghans for those in wheelchairs or hospice care. Understanding these specialty sizes can help choose the right blanket for specific situations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matching Blanket Size to Mattress:<\/strong> When selecting a blanket for your bed, it&#8217;s essential to consider the size of your mattress. Different mattress sizes, such as twin, full, queen, and king, require corresponding blanket sizes to ensure proper coverage. King-size blankets, for example, are suitable for standard king and California king mattresses, while queen blankets fit queen-sized beds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\n<p>There\u2019s more than just throw blankets and comforters to go on your mattress\u2014blankets can be as small as a hand towel or big enough to cover an entire king bed. Not only are blankets warm and cozy, but they can complete the look of a room.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of blankets are also made for infants and toddlers in different stages of development. From infants in the NICU to toddlers graduating to their first big-kid bed, you can find a blanket to fit their needs.<\/p>\n<p>Blanket sizes are not standardized like mattress sizes, but they still usually fall into a set range of measurements. Our guide goes over the countless types of blankets you can find and their approximate sizes.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-105\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-105 cmn tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Blanket Type<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Dimensions (inches)<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Dimensions (cm)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Lovey<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">12 inches by 12 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">30 cm by 30 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Baby<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">14 inches by 16 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">36 cm by 41 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Cradle<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">14 inches by 30 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">36 cm by 76 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Premie<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">18 inches by 24 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">46 cm by 61 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Stroller<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">22-30 inches by 30-36 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">51-76 cm by 76-91 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Lapghan<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">36 inches by 48 inches\u00a0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">91 cm by 122 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Receiving<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">40 inches by 40 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">102 cm by 102 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Crib<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">45 inches by 60 inches <\/td><td class=\"column-3\">114 cm by 152 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Throw<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50 inches by 60 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">127 cm by 152 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Afghan<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50 inches by 65 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">127 cm by 165 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Twin<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">65 inches by 90 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">165 cm by 229 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Double<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">85 inches by 90 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">216 cm by 229 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Queen<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">90 inches by 90-100 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">229 cm by 229-254 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">King<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">108 inches by 90-100 inches<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">274 cm by 229-254 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-105 from cache -->\n<h2>Specialty Blanket Sizes<\/h2>\n<p>Many of these blanket sizes are designed for infants or use around the home.<\/p>\n<h3>Lovey Blanket Size<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-15820\" src=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-24x14.png 24w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-36x20.png 36w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-48x27.png 48w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blanket-size-lovey-150x84.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Loveys are 12 by 12-inch security blankets for infants and toddlers.

You can use them on a queen mattress, too, if you don&#8217;t mind a shorter-than-average drape over the sides of the mattress. Some blankets are even marketed as full\/queen size blankets.<\/p>\n<p>We do not recommend using a double blanket with a twin if you can afford it, as the extra width of the double blanket means that a good part of the blanket will be left to puddle on the floor.<\/p>\n<h3>Queen Blanket Size<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-15811\" src=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-24x13.jpg 24w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-36x20.jpg 36w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-48x27.jpg 48w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-queen-eb-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Queen blankets measure 90 by 90-100 inches. They fit best on a <a href=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/mattresses\/queen\/\">queen mattress<\/a>. However, you can get away with using queen blankets on a thick or tall full bed or a thin or short king bed if needed.<\/p>\n<p>Some blankets are also marketed as suitable for both full and queen size mattresses. After all, queen beds are only slightly longer and wider than full mattresses.<\/p>\n<h3>King Blanket Size<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-15812\" src=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-24x13.jpg 24w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-36x20.jpg 36w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-48x27.jpg 48w, https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blanket-size-king-eb-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>King size blankets are the biggest sizes, measuring 108 by 90-100 inches. They fit a <a href=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/king-vs-california-king\/\">standard king and California (Western) king size bed<\/a> best. You can also use it with a split king mattress for a more uniform look.<\/p>\n<p>If dressing a California king mattress, look for a king size blanket on the longer end because California kings are four inches longer than your standard king bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s more than just throw blankets and comforters to go on your mattress\u2014blankets can be as small as a hand towel or big enough to cover an entire king bed&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":9714,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blanket_Sizes_and_Dimensions_Guide-01-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9579"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9579"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25250,"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9579\/revisions\/25250"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
