Best Blanket Guide for King Size Beds

At 76” by 80,” a king size mattress is the largest in the mattress family. This can cause some trouble and confusion when it comes to the perfect bedding, but as you’ve started to think bigger, so have we! This guide will point you in the right direction when it comes to king size bedding, and it stars some of the trendiest and roomiest blankets on the market today.

A Match Made in Heaven: King Size Bed, Oversized Blanket

Picture today’s “giant” trend of giant blankets, and then picture your daunting, brand-new king-size bed. While the dimensions of today’s oversized blankets may seem excessive, their placement on a king mattress makes perfect sense. When considering mattress thickness and height on top of the king’s dimensions, an oversized blanket leaves plenty of room on the sides and at the foot of the mattress, maximizing comfort and function while remaining customizable. A blanket truer to a king mattress’s size may lack these qualities, and at the end of the day there’s nothing worse than running out of blanket! Consider this curated list of today’s best king size bedding, listed alphabetically by company.
