How to Measure a Bedroom Rug

Bedroom rugs are both a stylish and practical solution for your space. They can help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, provide a comfortable place for your feet and dampen the sounds of foot traffic – a benefit that others in your home can appreciate. The question isn't, however, whether or not you should buy a rug for your bedroom. It's how to choose the best one.
Here's a useful guide to narrow down your options and help you select a bedroom rug that you will love. We have also made handy graphics for you to visualize how rugs fit under different bed sizes. Use these as a guide but keep in mind that we can make custom rugs any size to the inch to fit your bedroom perfectly!
King Size Beds
Shown as 80" long by 76" wide

9' x 12'+ Rug
The best size rug for a king bed is 9' x 12' or wider if the room has two nightstands.

8' x 10' Rug
Not the ideal size for a king bed but if you have smaller nightstands (18" or less) you can get away with the smaller rug.

3' x 5' Rug or Custom Runners
Place a 3' x 5' rug on either side of the bed, or custom runners around 6' long. Add a runner to the foot of the bed for full coverage.
Queen Size Bed
80" wide x 60" long Standard Queen

9' x 12' Rug
This will leave 42" on each side of the bed to step off on to. Room at foot of bed for a bench.

8' x 10' Rug
The designer recommended size for queen bed. When rug is placed in front of nightstand there is room at foot of bed for a trunk or settee.

6' x 9' or Custom Rug
Minimum rug size to have 2' showing on either side of the bed. A custom rug can help increase the size to get the perfect fit.

3' x 5' Rugs
Place two 3'x5' rugs on either side of the queen bed or create custom bedside runners.
Twin Size Bed
75" long x 39" wide Standard Twin

5' x 8' Rug
For a room with a single twin bed, a 5'x8' or custom rug will work placed next to the bed.

8' x 10' Rug
If you have two twin beds an 8'x10' rug will cover the area under both beds including the center. Extend the length with a custom rug to cover each side of the beds.

3' x 5' Rug
A single 3'x5' rug can be placed between the beds to cover the open space between two twin beds.
