Then we have a 'California King' size, but I'm not sure what
the dimensions are on that one.
---------------------------------
I know what you're saying...some years ago we decided to buy
a new mattress set, and the sizes totally confused me. There
was also a Twin, Double, Extra Long Double, King, California King,
Eastern King, and a Queen and an extra long Queen, plus you can
order your own mattress made to your own dimensions, especially
if you have a custom made bed, or an antique one. And don't forget
the ever popular Bunk bed mattress. Plus all they've thought up
since that bewildering shopping trip.

Twin 39 X 75 inches 71 X91

If you google "quilt sizes," you will find several sites that list not only quilt sizes, but also mattress sizes. However, I've found it most reliable just to measure the top of a given bed and decide how long I want it to hang over the sides, and how much room I want at the foot and the top (do I want to allow enough to "encase" pillows or just to lie flat?), and then go from there.
One such site gives the following information for queen sizes:
For quilts: usually between 88"-99" wide; length about the same. Queen mattresses are usually 60" x 80". But you would have to add to this significantly, if you wanted more overhang, possibly as much as 13" on each side.
