If you have ever found yourself fighting for covers at night then you can appreciate why an oversized comforter or super sized comforter would be a nice option to have. In the United States mattresses sizes are pretty standardized and usually range in sizes as shown below: Twin 39 x 75 Twin XL 39 x 80 Full 54 x 75 Queen 60 x 80 King 76 x 80
Please note that Olympic queens, Split kings and other specialty sizes are not covered here due to the smaller amount of beds sold in the USA.
Oversized Queen Quilts
Most mattresses are between and 12 and 15 inches these days with some peaking out at 22 to 24 inches high. Why do beds come in so many sizes? Of course there is a marketing story involved in addition to how some furniture makers utilize platform beds which may need higher height mattresses in order to allow comfortable bed entry. In America bigger is better and this applies to down and down alternative comforters covered in this story.
One of the most common complaints consumers have with comforters, blankets and quilts is how small the items can be sold as. This is because many retail stores have a fixed retail price they want to sell items at and manufacturers work backwards to hit those price points. Usually one of the first impacted areas from this price point mentality is that the items size is cut smaller to save fabric/filling and labor hours per piece of textiles made. As a result it is very common that a queen comforter sold in stores is marked as Full/Queen which is a nicer way of saying it is small and skimpy. This smaller size mania goes into king size bedding as well and as a result many consumers upsize their bedding so that it fits better. So if someone has a queen bed they buy the king size set on sale so that it 'fits'. This works fine for queen size bedding but what if you have a king size bed?
In US department stores a king comforter can range in size from 102 x 86 to 108 x 98 with the later being called out as 'Oversized'. Generally speaking the 108 x 98 inch king size comforter is oversized enough for most consumers. However, if you have a deep plush bed and or you are constantly having night time tug of war with the comforters then you might want to consider large king sizes. A 'Super King' size comforter can run between 116 x 100, 120 x 98, or 114 x 118. Sometimes the super sized comforters are called 'Designer Kings'. These super size king comforters are great because you get the extra coverage you may crave all without having to buy a custom made comforter which can run in the thousands.
One thing to consider when buying a super king is if you will need a duvet cover to fit the super large comforter. Many bedding catalogs offer super size duvets that fit the 116 x 100 size range but most don't cover the larger super kings like 120 x 98 or 114 x 118.
In those cases DOWNLITE is one of the few companies that offer those extra large size comforters and covers. Of course you can always have a custom duvet made which might run 0 to 0.
