✅ Tips for Choosing the Right Size
🔹 1. Allow for Overhang
Choose a blanket that hangs over the sides and foot of the bed by at least 10–15 inches for proper coverage and a polished look.
🔹 2. Avoid Too Much Bulk
An oversized blanket may droop or bunch up, especially on smaller beds. Choose something slightly larger than the mattress — but not overwhelmingly so.
🔹 3. Layering? Size Up.
If you’re layering your blanket over a quilt or comforter, consider going one size larger for extra coverage.
🔹 4. For Shared Beds
If you sleep with a partner, a King-size blanket on a Queen bed can help avoid “blanket stealing” during the night.
🧼 Don’t Forget: Check for Shrinkage
Always check the material label — natural fabrics like cotton or wool may shrink after washing, so allow some margin.
