Common Quilt and Batting Sizes

May 01, 2012

The chart below shows standard mattress, bedding and quilt sizes for the US. The measurements are approximate and can be adjusted to fit the individual needs and desires of the quilter.

We've also listed pre-cut, packaged quilt batting sizes. After determining the quilt size you will need for your bed, add about 6" to each the width and length measurements to find the minimum batting size you'll need.

Quilts that will be long arm quilted may need additional batting. Check with your long arm quilter.
