When making a crochet bedspread for a double bed, one of the most important steps is choosing the correct size. A beautiful crochet piece deserves to fit the bed properly, with a lovely drape that highlights all the handmade details.
In this guide, you’ll learn the standard measurements for a crochet bedspread on a double (full-size) bed, how to calculate the drop, and practical tips to help you create a perfectly sized piece.
In the United States, a double bed is also called a full-size bed. Both terms refer to the same mattress size.
Crochet bedspreads are designed to be larger than the mattress so they can drape beautifully over the sides and foot of the bed.

👉 90 inches × 100 inches
(approximately 230 cm × 254 cm)
This size:
💡 This is considered the standard crochet bedspread size for a double bed in the U.S.
The drop refers to how much the bedspread hangs over the sides of the bed. In crochet, a generous drop adds elegance and shows off the stitch work.
Most crocheters prefer a traditional or long drop for bedspreads.
Use this simple formula before you start crocheting:
Mattress width + (desired drop × 2)
Mattress length + desired drop at the foot of the bed
👉 54″ + 36″ = 90 inches wide
This confirms why 90″ × 100″ works so well for most double beds.
