Queen comforter size
224 × 244 cm
88 × 96 in · North America · fits a 152 cm Queen bed
About this size
The most common American size. At 88 inches wide over a 60-inch bed it gives 14 inches of overhang on each side, which is the proportion the rest of the range is judged against.
How much it hangs over
A comforter is not the size of the bed and is not meant to be. This one is 71 cm wider than the mattress, so it drops 35.6 cm on each side.
| Comforter width | 224 cm · 88 in |
| Length | 244 cm · 96 in |
| Mattress width | 152 cm |
| Overhang per side | 35.6 cm |
| Area | 5.5 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.

A Queen bed, 152 cm wide. Its full dimensions are here.
What size duvet cover do I need?
The same as the duvet: 224 × 244 cm. Covers are sold to match the insert, not the bed — buying a cover by bed size is the usual reason one arrives too small.
