Waterproof Blanket Queen Size - For a Queen of Course

Posted on September 20 2023

You found yourself here because you have a queen size bed and you are looking for a waterproof blanket that can protect the entire bed. Hey, I totally get it. Sometimes it's for alone time, sometimes it's for me and my boyfriend and sometimes it's for my dog. But every single time I despise the wet spot or the cuddle puddle or the puddle from the dog (sorry had to go there) and I wish it wasn't a thing. Which brings me to the next point: you are in the right place. We have the perfect waterproof blanket for a queen size bed, and bigger and smaller if that's what you are looking for.

Layered Blanket Sizes

When we designed our blankets and did our initial product research we wanted something that would fit everyone's preferences. Here's our size chart:

  • Small - 40" x 28"
  • Medium - 57" x 40"
  • Large - 65" x 57"
  • XL - 85" x 57"
  • XXL - 85" x 85"

A queen bed is 60" x 80" - which begs the question, do you want full coverage of the entire bed? I think most people would say yes, but, as your blanket guru I would take some time to think about that.

Waterproof Blanket Queen Size

As you can gather from the figure above, most of the ideal blanket sizes for a queen bed are the larger sizes we carry. But there is a good question to ask: should the blanket cover the entire bed?

Should The Blanket Cover The Entire Bed?

Look, I'd love to have you buy the largest blanket we carry. There is no question that bigger is better when it comes to blankets, especially waterproof ones. But it depends on what you will be using it for.

  • Intimacy - I think it's how crazy you are gonna get, lol wink wink. The safest bet for intimacy will be a Large on a queen size bed. But if you want to be safe and very comfortable an XL will do the trick. It really boils down to you and yours. All I can say is if there are two people involved, don't get a small :).
  • Pets - dogs, cats and other animals: this is when I would recommend an XL blanket for a queen sized bed. Dogs and cats get messy, dirty and wet. Sometimes they like to shuffle around. Might as well get the ultimate protection, which is an XL blanket.

Why a Layered Waterproof Blanket

Why do you need a layered waterproof blanket, versus one with, let's say, a waterproof coating? At the end of the day this boils down to two things:

  • Comfort
  • Ease of use

First things first, you want something that is comfortable to lay on or to cover up with. That's exactly what a blanket with multiple layers provides. You don't have to deal with rough outer shells or weird feeling waterproof coatings. By placing the waterproofing material inside the blanket, the outer layers can be soft to the touch!

When thinking about ease of use I include maintenance and durability as well. With an outer shell or other waterproofing methods you have to be sure you have the right side up. Not when your waterproofing is layered inside. We also need to be able to clean these things and want them to last. Waterproof coatings can wear off after many washes and outer shells can crack and dry. An internal TPU layer can be washed and dried on no or low heat, making it the perfect option.

What is TPU?

Since I mentioned the waterproofing material (TPU), I wanted to shed some light on it. I wrote a full article that you can read here. TPU is a durable, flexible material used to waterproof not only blankets but a slew of other everyday products. With a relatively thin layer sewn into our blankets, they become waterproof. This adds minimal noise and weight to the blanket, which is especially important when trying to be discreet.

Layered Blankets Blanket of Choice

Our original waterproof blanket is one we engineered to be long lasting, comfortable and durable. The Accent waterproof throw is soft, cozy, plush and waterproof. Made of three layers - sherpa, TPU and flannel - it's perfect for staying warm, or for warm nights when you want to lay on something cooler. Wash it on cool or cold, and dry it on no heat or low heat for 20 minutes max.
