I'm constantly trying to work out how big to make quilts so I have done a bit of research and decided to make up a little chart in Aussie terms, this is just my guide, not a rule! I looked at many different sites and used an average of the mattress size plus a drop of 15" and an extra 7.5" added to each end. If you would like a pillow tuck I found that adding about 10" to the length was the average. I rounded the cm's to the nearest 5cm, just because I hate weird numbers. J I thought this might help others too. So here it is....
Mattress Sizes | ||
Bed Size | Metric | Imperial |
Cot | 71 x 132 | 28 x 52" |
Single | 92 x 188 | 36 x 74" |
King Single | 107 x 203 | 42 x 80" |
Double | 137 x 188 | 54 x 74" |
Queen | 153 x 203 | 60 x 80" |
King | 183 x 203 | 72 x 80" |

Double | 215 x 225 | 84 x 89" |
