What Size is Your Bed Linen?

I am sure most of you have owned, or own a comforter for your bed..  If someone was to ask you what size your comforter was, you would probably answer as either a king comforter,  a queen comforter etc...but you probably are not to sure of the actual measurement of your comforter.   This is helpful information to know because you want to be sure that when you purchase a comforter, that it can actually cover your mattress.  A standard mattress depth is 7-9 inches and a deep mattress is 10-15 inches deep.  Depending on the thickness of a comforter will also depend on what size comforter you need to purchase.  Just because you have a queen size bed, doesn't mean that a queen size comforter will automatically fit.  Below is a chart with sizes to help purchasing your next bedding set much easier.
