I have an original Temperpedic mattress, it is only 8" thick, and I don't have a box spring. My bed is really tall, but it has drawers all around it. I was looking for a coverlet, not a bedspread. I have had queen coverlets in the past that were too small even on my 8" mattress, so after reading all the reviews I ordered the king, boy howdy, is it bigger than what I wanted! I know the measurements were listed (Full/Queen 90"x90", King 105"x95) but I am not really good with measurements, and using a tape measure to check the size of a coverlet that is on your bed isn't easy to do by yourself. So I wanted to let anyone out there who is looking for a coverlet, that doesn't have a really thick mattress, order your correct size. The king I got is hanging down 16" on each side of the bed. I would need one heck of a thick mattress to make up for that much width (I tuck in the end so it's no big deal if it's too long)I didn't lower my rating based on it being too big, that isn't it's fault. I took off one star because there are a couple of places where the stitching is looped up, as in lose, not a tight stitch. I think my dogs' nails are going to catch on these and pull them out altogether. There are also a couple of places where the stitching is already coming undone.Overall it is a great quilt, the colors are nice and as others have said they match just about anything because you can pick up one or more of them and run with it. I pretty much sit on my bed all day, most days, (I have pain issues) and it is soft enough to make that comfortable, even on bare legs. I got this for a spring/ summer quilt and it's really nice for that, as it has a teeny, tiny amount of batting. I like it paired with a light cotton blanket, but I like the feel of some weight when I sleep. It is a requirement that all bedding I have is washable. Not only do we have two dogs, but I have allergies so I have to wash the bedding at the very least every two weeks. I really like the stitching on this, it will keep what batting it has from clumping and make it last longer. The reason I bought this was to replace a quilt whose batting had turned into little hard balls after all the washing it had endured (and yes I had followed the instructions).I am going to send it back because of the thread issues and reorder it in a queen. No one else mentioned the thread problem, so maybe it's just this one. I will update when I get my new one.Update Queen: Well I think they have some quality control issues, but it is made in China and it is a very inexpensive coverlet. The queen I got still has one place where the quilting has broken and is coming undone. I posted a picture so any one that wants to can see what I am talking about. This one even has a small spot right in the center where it is lighter than it should be, kinda like it was bleached with a bleach pen, but not that white or noticeable. It's a dye flaw in the fabric. However there are no loose looped threads this time. The length of the sides are perfect, the length on the bottom is a bit short if you want a nice amount of overhang and enough to fold down at the top or to cover your pillows, but since the King is so huge on the sides I am sticking with a queen.Quick tip: I don't usually use shams, but this time I put one at the bottom of the bed on a whim and my dogs love it! Both of them have been using it as sort of a doggie bed. I am thinking of getting another pillow so the will each have one. I have posted pictures of them enjoying the shams.Over all I still really like coverlet, but if you are a stickler, you might want to pass. Either that or be prepared to do a few returns (Amazon pays for them if there is something wrong with what you ordered). Alternately fix the quilting yourself if there is just one or two problem stitches. I really think the light spot I have is just a flaw in the fabric coloring, and therefore a fluke.
