Oversized King Bedspread

Oversized king bedspread cut 128 × 120 in. — 26 in. of drop each side, clearing a mattress-plus-base stack of up to 24 in. Our oversized king bedspread is 100% combed long-staple cotton at 340 gsm, prewashed to under 3% residual shrinkage (which at 128 in. wide is the difference between floor-length and not), and rolled-and-stitched on all four sides.

Why the oversized king bedspread size exists

This is a size that exists because the rest of the bedroom moved. A mattress was eight or nine inches deep for decades and bedspreads were cut to suit. Hybrids, pillow-tops and foam builds now routinely run 14 to 18 inches, add a topper and a tall base, and a standard 120-inch king bedspread that used to reach the floor now stops somewhere around the middle of the box spring — showing exactly the thing a bedspread exists to hide.

128 × 120 in. — cleared drop for deep beds

Cut 128 × 120 inches. On a 76-inch king mattress that is 26 inches of drop each side, which clears a mattress-plus-base stack of up to 24 inches and still touches the floor. The 120-inch length covers the foot fully and leaves enough at the head for the pillow tuck that makes a bedspread look finished rather than laid on.

Measure the right thing before ordering

Measure before you order, and measure the right thing: from the top surface of the mattress straight down to the floor, with the topper on if you use one. That single figure tells you whether you need this cut or the standard king. Anything over about 21 inches, this is your size.

Why 340 gsm — a light cloth at this span looks worse

Woven in 100% combed long-staple cotton at 340 gsm, heavy enough to hang cleanly at this span — a light cloth cut this large billows and catches, and looks worse than a short bedspread does. Rolled and stitched hem on all four sides. Prewashed to under 3% residual shrinkage, which at 128 inches wide is the difference between floor-length and not.

Washing an oversized king bedspread

A piece this size is 2.8 kg dry and needs a machine of 9 kg capacity or larger. Wash cold, line dry if you can — a full-width drying line will do it in an afternoon and a domestic tumble dryer will fight it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an oversized king bedspread?

Measure floor-to-top-of-mattress (with topper). Anything over about 21 in. and a standard king bedspread stops short. This one clears up to 24 in.

How is an oversized king bedspread different from a standard king?

Standard king is 120 × 118 in. with a ~22 in. drop. Oversized is 128 × 120 in. with a 26 in. drop — cleared for deep pillow-top mattresses, thick foam builds and tall bases.

Can I wash an oversized king bedspread at home?

Yes — with a 9 kg+ washer. Smaller machines can’t tumble this size. Line dry rather than tumble.

Is an oversized king bedspread in stock?

Cut to order — 14-day lead time. That’s how we ship it prewashed under 3% shrinkage rather than compromising on cloth.
