Full comforter size
206 × 224 cm
81 × 88 in · North America · fits a 137 cm Full bed
About this size
The American full comforter, sometimes sold as full/queen — which is a compromise that hangs generously on a full and barely on a queen.
How much it hangs over
A comforter is not the size of the bed and is not meant to be. This one is 69 cm wider than the mattress, so it drops 34.3 cm on each side.
| Comforter width | 206 cm · 81 in |
| Length | 224 cm · 88 in |
| Mattress width | 137 cm |
| Overhang per side | 34.3 cm |
| Area | 4.6 m² |
Under about 25 cm of overhang the cover rides up as soon as anyone turns over, which is the real complaint behind "the duvet is too small" — usually it is the right size for the bed and the wrong size for two people.
