Product Type: Throw Blankets

This oversized king blanket gives you 110 by 96 inches of white muslin, wide enough to fall well past both sides of a king bed. Newcastle Classics makes the Pristine White bed blanket from 100% rayon made from bamboo, as its label states, and pre-washes it, so it arrives with the soft, lived-in texture muslin is loved for.

  • 110 by 96 inches leaves about 17 inches hanging on each side of a king.
  • Open muslin weave lets air move through on warm nights.
  • Rayon made from bamboo feels smooth and soaks up moisture readily.
  • Machine washable in cold water and dried on low.

Oversized King Blanket Dimensions

Oversized king blanket dimensions decide whether you get a tidy drop or a bare mattress edge, so here is how 110 by 96 lays out on standard mattresses.

Drop by bed size, measured in inches
Bed and mattress size Drop on each side (in) Extra length (in)
Queen, 60 by 80 25 16
King, 76 by 80 17 16
California king, 72 by 84 19 12

That width covers a deep mattress and still leaves enough for a partner who pulls the blanket over. The extra length tucks under the mattress at the foot or folds back over the pillows.

A Muslin Blanket for Adults

A muslin blanket for adults takes the loose plain weave of a nursery swaddle and scales it up to bed size. Gaps between the threads let air pass, and the fabric gets softer with every wash. In the US, bamboo that has been dissolved and spun into fiber has to be labeled rayon, and this label says so plainly. Rayon takes up more moisture than cotton, which is why it feels dry and smooth against bare skin. On a summer night it is the only layer you need; in winter it slides under a duvet as a soft layer next to the sheet.

Washing a Big Muslin Blanket

Newcastle Classics asks for a wash before first use. Machine wash cold with like colors, use only non-chlorine bleach, tumble dry on low, remove it promptly, and never iron it. Keep it out of any load with zippers or hook-and-loop fasteners, which snag an open weave. At this size it needs a large-capacity drum to move freely.

Sleeping Under Pristine White Muslin

How big is a king size blanket? Most king blankets measure about 108 by 90 inches. This one is 110 by 96, so it adds 2 inches of width and 6 inches of length.

Can it double as a sofa blanket? Folded in half it measures 55 by 96 inches, long enough to drape the back of a three-seat sofa or wrap two people on the couch.

Why wash a pre-washed blanket first? A cold wash and a low tumble relax the folds from packing and let the muslin open up to its full softness.

Is a muslin blanket warm enough in winter? On its own it is a warm-weather blanket. In cold months it works best under a duvet or quilt, where it adds a breathable layer between you and the heavier bedding.

When do adult muslin blankets sell? Searches build through spring and peak in July and August, when people trade their duvets for something lighter.
