A queen-size blanket typically measures 90 inches wide by 90-100 inches long, sized to drape over a 60" x 80" queen mattress with 12-20" overhang per side. Exact dimensions vary by blanket type — comforters, duvets, quilts, and throws each have subtly different standards. Here is the complete reference.

Why 90 Inches Wide?
Queen mattresses are 60" wide. A 90" blanket gives 15" of overhang per side — enough to cover the mattress sides when someone is in bed without dragging on the floor. For deeper mattresses (14"+) or pillow-tops, consider 96-100" wide blankets for better visual drape.
