Queen Comforter Sets Vs. King: What’s the Difference?

Searching for a new luxury comforter set for fall? You may know you’re passionate about a certain color or pattern. However, one of the most important comforter decisions is often the one that shoppers get wrong. While comforter size may seem like a no brainer, the truth is that customers have some choices to make. Depending on your mattress size and personal taste, you may prefer a comforter that fits your bed exactly or one that offers some extra drape and coziness. At Latest Bedding, we’re pleased to offer a wide selection of queen and king comforters by top designers such as Bebejan, J Queen, Croscill, and Waterford. Wondering what’s the difference between queen comforter sets and king comforter sets? Read on for details, along with tips on selecting the best style for your space. 

What Is a Comforter?

A crucial bedding component for the cooler months, the comforter offers unparalleled warmth and coziness to help you sleep soundly regardless of the temperature outside. Quilted blanket bags filled with natural substances like cotton, wool, or feathers, comforters come in a wide range of styles and designs. While some are brightly hued, others feature classic neutrals like ivory or grey. Still others boast patterns like florals, stripes, spots, paisley, or bold geometrics. 

If you’ve only shopped at the big box stores or boutique retailers for bedding, then you’ve probably noticed that comforters can be expensive. Moreover, shoppers have to spend a bundle outfitting their space with additional pieces like pillow shams, bed skirts, and throws to complete the look. One of the benefits of choosing Latest Bedding is that we offer an extensive assortment of luxury comforter sets that come complete with all the accessories you need to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary. 

What’s the Difference Between Queen and King Size Comforter Sets?

When choosing a new comforter set, the first step is to consider your mattress. While both comforter sets queen and king sizes are based on mattress size, comforters tend to be larger than the bed in question. That’s because comforters are meant to drape over the bed while offering plenty of snuggle space for two sleepers. 

In general, you can expect a queen comforter to measure 86 to 88 inches wide by 96 to 100 inches long. This bedding item will fit a queen mattress, which is usually about 60 inches by 80 inches. On the other hand, a king comforter will measure 107 to 110 inches wide by 96 to 98 inches long. It fits a bed measuring 76 inches by 80 inches. While you can use a king comforter with a queen bed, you should expect your bedding to drape on the floor if you go this route. It’s not advisable to use a queen comforter on a king bed.
