02 / Picture the difference
What does going up a size add?
Compare the quilt footprints below. The extra side coverage assumes the quilt is centred on the same bed.
Queen → King
210 × 210 cm
35 cm wider · 17.5 cm more per side
The length stays at 210 cm. Choose this for more width, rather than extra length at the foot.
King → Super King
245 × 210 cm
25 cm wider · 12.5 cm more per side
Also 30 cm longer, giving extra length at the foot when the top edges are aligned.
The shaded outlines compare quilt sizes. Extra width per side is a flat allowance, not a guaranteed hanging depth. Sleepers, quilt loft and mattress height affect the finished drape.

Choose the drape that suits your bed
Mattress depth, bed height, sharing and your preferred look all affect the final choice.

Three simple measurements
-
Measure your bed
Record the mattress width, length and total depth, including any topper.
-
Picture the drop
Subtract mattress width from quilt width, then divide by two. This estimates each side’s overhang before allowing for loft or tucking.
-
Check the length
Decide where the quilt will sit at the head and how far it should reach at the foot.

Match every layer to the right size
- Quilt insert
- Choose the width and length for your preferred coverage.
- Quilt cover
- Match the insert’s dimensions. A King quilt on a Queen bed needs a King cover.
- Sheets
- Match fitted sheets to the mattress size and total depth, including the topper. Upsizing your quilt does not change your fitted-sheet size.
- Flat sheet
- Check its width and length separately, allowing enough fabric for the tuck and side drop you prefer.
A few common questions
Can I use a King quilt on a Queen bed?
Yes, if you want extra width. At these dimensions, King adds 17.5 cm per side when centred, with no extra length.
Which quilt should I try for a King Single bed?
Compare a Double quilt against your measured bed and preferred drop. Choose a Double cover if you choose a Double insert.
Should I buy a bigger cover than my quilt?
Match the cover and insert dimensions. A larger cover can leave unfilled fabric around the insert.
Does a bigger quilt mean more warmth?
It can provide more coverage, but size alone does not determine warmth. Compare the fill, construction and weight with your room and sleeping preferences.
