To measure a bed size, start by measuring the length and width of the mattress. For length, measure from the head to the foot of the bed. For width, measure from one side to the other. Common sizes include twin, full, queen, and king, each with specific dimensions.
Buying a blanket larger than your bed can provide extra comfort and coverage, especially if you prefer a more draped look. A blanket that’s 8-12 inches wider and longer than your bed will ensure it hangs over the sides and foot, offering additional warmth and a cozy feel.

To choose the right size heated mattress pad, consider the following:
- Mattress Size: Match the heated mattress pad to your mattress size, following standard U.S. bed sizes.
- Mattress Thickness: Confirm that the pad fits your mattress depth, especially if it’s thicker than standard (like pillow-top or memory foam).
- Adjustable Bed Compatibility: For adjustable beds, select a flexible heated pad specifically designed for movement.
- Secure Fitting: Look for deep pockets or straps to keep the pad in place without shifting.
These considerations will help you select a heated mattress pad that fits well and provides consistent warmth.
