Oversized King Comforter
What is an oversized King and oversized California king comforter?
Oversized California King comforters are designed for use with beds measuring 72 inches wide and 84 inches long. Oversized King comforters, on the other hand, are made to fit several variations of the King size bed. Some of these include the Alaskan King, Texas King or Wyoming King. Ultimately, the dimensions of the comforter are different between the two, that being the key difference. Both provide enough coverage to drape over the mattress sides of the respective mattress. They both perform the same and add to the attractiveness of the bed.

What is the Largest Size King Comforter?
An oversized king comforter can come in a variety of dimensions, the largest is 132 inches by 120 inches. This is big enough to give adequate coverage on an Alaskan King mattress. Typically, the sizes of each oversize king comforter are standard to accommodate large mattress sizes. Common sizes of the largest comforters are 104 x 110, 108 x 96, and 132 x 120. An oversize king comforter that measures 108” long and 96” wide is commonly used to cover a Wyoming King mattress. The 104” x 110” fits a Texas King bed well and the largest, 132” x 120” goes perfectly with an Alaskan King bed.
Alaskan King Comforter
Alaskan King Comforter(132″ W x 120″ L)
An Alaskan King comforter has measurements of 132” wide and 120” long. Though the Alaskan King bed itself is square, the comforter is not. That’s because there should be extra fabric at both sides but only one end of the Alaskan King comforter. This ensures that all edges are covered except the edge that will be flush against a headboard.

As with other comforters, the Oversized King comforter will be a little larger than the mattress. It measures 120 inches by 120 inches. This one is on the line between being an oversized comforter size or a standard comforter size. That simply means it is more widely available and it comes in various styles, tints and packages.

Oversized King Bed Spread vs Oversize King Comforter
The oversized bedspread and oversized comforter are alike in some ways. Both can conceal the mattress and sheets when the bed is made. The large size of an oversized bed spread is often equivalent to that of an oversized comforter. Where they differ is in functionality. The main purpose of a comforter is to keep you comfortable and warm as you sleep. For this reason, they are thicker. The Kingship Comfort oversized comforters are made with 100% cotton as it provides warmth without overheating. Bed spreads are thinner and primarily decorative, serving no real purpose when it comes to sleep.
Oversized King vs Oversized California King Comforter
An oversized California King comforter is basically the same things as an oversized king comforter, just in a different size. Which you need will be governed by the size of mattress it is meant to cover. An oversized California King comforter will be approximately 107” x 110”. That’s about 35 inches, or 17 inches longer than the California King mattress size on each side. It is rare to see a mattress that is thicker than 14 inches, so this is plenty long to fully hide the mattress when the bed is made.
Oversized King Comforter Colors
For our oversized king comforters, we carry a brand called Kingship Comfort. These sheets are constructed with a sateen weave which results in a very soft surface. Some other weaves are use what is called a percale weave. Percale leads to a crispier feeling. We prefer sateen for the softness but also for other reasons. Sateen provides draping coverage and a byproduct of the mercerization process is mildew resistance which benefits allergy suffers. Our oversized king comforters by Kingship Comfort come in four different colors; Wedgewood, Chocolate, White and Pewter. Wedgewood is a blue-ish color. Chocolate is brown and White is, well, white. Pewter is a gray-like color.
Oversized King Comforter 120 x 120-Reason Why 132 x 120 is Better
Occasionally, customers request a 120 x 120 oversized king comforter with intentions on using it on an Alaskan King Mattress. We recommend using a 132 x 120 instead. The reason is that while a 120 x 120 will cover the surface of the mattress, it will only allow for a six-inch hang on the sides. Most mattresses are going to be thicker than six inches so with the smaller size, the mattress will show. The 132 x 120 hangs 12 inches over the sides, sufficiently covering the mattress when the bed is made up. This makes it a better fit for the Alaskan king mattress. If you are spending the money for a good comforter, you might as well get one with a proper fit.
Washing Oversized King Comforter
Cleaning an oversized king comforter presents a challenge. The sheer size can prevent one from fitting in a standard washing machine. One solution is to take the comforter to a laundromat where they may have a larger washing machine. Professional cleaners may also have a larger machine or they could steam clean it. To avoid the frequency of washing an oversized king comforter, many people use duvet covers. These are covers that encase a comforter. They protect the comforter from getting dirty and needing washed so often. Because they are much thinner than a comforter, they will fit in a regular sized machine for washing. In addition to solving the washing issue, they can also elongate the life of your comforter by protecting it. We carry oversized duvet covers in the same colors of our comforter selection; Wedgewood, Chocolate, White and Pewter.
Buying the Right Oversized King Comforter Set
Many aspects influence which oversized king comforter set to purchase. The material of a comforter should be comfortable and warm, yet breathable. The color should pair well with the bedroom palette. Perhaps, the most vital thing to consider when buying an oversized king comforter set, is the mattress size. Be mindful to account for the length, width and height of the mattress. Determine first which oversized king comforter set size works best for you, then advance to color and fabric options. Alaskan King, Texas King, Wyoming King, Oversized California King, and custom comforters are available to buy online here.

While they are often used interchangeably, oversized King bedspreads are not the same as oversized King comforters. There are a couple big differences between the two. An oversized King bedspread is thinner than its comparable comforter. It is not insulated the way an oversized King comforter is. Both options provide warmth, but the oversized comforter is thicker and insulating whereas the oversized King bedspread is flatter. This also influences the bedding’s ability to pair with a Duvet cover. A comforter can be used with an oversized Duvet cover but a bedspread is too thin to use with one.
