Custom Pet Blanket Size Guide: Lap, Sofa or Bed?

By Sophie, co-founder of Beast + Bonbon. Updated October 2026.

Short answer: Our custom pet blankets come in three sizes. Small, 52" x 37" ($105), is a lap throw for an armchair, a pet bed or a wall. Medium, 60" x 50" ($125), is a standard sofa throw and our best seller. Large, 80" x 60" ($165), covers the top of a queen bed and gives two or three pets the most room.

This guide is for anyone choosing a custom pet blanket for themselves or as a gift. Numbers on a screen are hard to picture, so below you will find each size matched to real places in a home: the sofa, the bed, the dog bed and the wall.

What sizes do custom pet blankets come in?

Our woven pet blankets come in Small, Medium and Large. Each size can carry your pet's portrait and name, with up to 3 pets on one blanket. Here is how they compare in everyday use.

Size Dimensions Price Best real-life uses Number of pets
Small 52" x 37" $105 One lap in an armchair, a reading nook, over a dog bed or crate, a child's bed, a wall hanging 1 pet looks best
Medium (best seller) 60" x 50" $125 Sofa throw, one adult curled up, the foot of a bed, a wall hanging above a sofa 1 or 2 pets
Large 80" x 60" $165 Top of a queen or full bed, two people sharing the sofa, a statement wall piece 2 or 3 pets

Any size can hold up to 3 pets. The last column is our suggestion for giving each face enough room to read clearly.

How big is a throw blanket?

Most throw blankets are about 50" x 60", which is the size of our Medium. That is a little over 4 feet by 5 feet. It drapes over the back of a sofa, covers one adult curled up for a movie, or folds neatly over the arm of a chair.

Our Small, at 52" x 37", is a lap throw. It is the one people sometimes picture as bigger than it is. Think of it as a blanket for one person sitting down, or for a pet's own spot, rather than something to sleep under.

Our Large, at 80" x 60", is closer to a bed blanket. It is big enough for two people sharing the sofa, or to lie flat across the top of a bed.

What size blanket is best for a couch, bed or dog bed?

Match the size to where the blanket will spend most of its time. Here is a quick guide for each spot.

For a sofa or couch

Medium is the easy pick. It drapes over the back of a sofa with the portrait facing the room, and it is big enough to pull over your legs in the evening. If two of you share the sofa every night, go Large.

For a bed

A queen mattress is 60" x 80", so our Large covers the top of a queen almost exactly, and it covers a full mattress too. On a king bed, lay the Large across the foot of the bed, where the 80" side spans the width. A Medium also looks lovely folded at the foot of any bed.

For a dog bed, crate or pet's chair

Small is the right size here. It covers a large dog bed or the top of a crate, and it folds in half for smaller beds. It is also a good fit for the armchair a cat has claimed.

For a lap or armchair

Small covers one person sitting in a chair, from lap to toes. For a reading chair or a desk chair on cold mornings, it is just enough without piling up on the floor.

For a wall hanging

Small and Medium both work well on a wall. A Small fits above a console table or in a hallway. A Medium makes a centerpiece above a sofa or headboard. Hang it with a tapestry rod or wooden clips so the weave hangs flat.

What size should I get for two or three pets?

For two pets, choose Medium or Large. For three pets, Large gives each face the most room. You can still put two or three pets on a Small, but each portrait will be smaller, so it suits a wall or a lap more than a bed.

Photos taken separately are fine. Our designers place the pets together in one design and add each name. Our guide to putting two or three pets on one custom blanket shows how the layout works.

How can I picture the size before I order?

The simplest way is to measure the spot and mark it. It takes two minutes and saves any surprise when the box arrives.

  1. Measure the place it will live. The back of the sofa, the top of the bed, or the dog bed.
  2. Mark the size with painter's tape on the sofa, bed or wall. Stand back and look.
  3. Try a blanket you already own. Measure it and compare. Many sofa throws are close to our Medium.
  4. Think about who will use it. One person, two people, or a pet.

Questions people ask

What size is a custom pet blanket?

Beast + Bonbon woven pet blankets come in Small 52" x 37" ($105), Medium 60" x 50" ($125) and Large 80" x 60" ($165). Medium is the standard throw size and our best seller. Small is a lap throw, and Large covers the top of a queen bed.

How big is a throw blanket?

Most throw blankets are about 50" x 60", or a little over 4 feet by 5 feet. That size drapes over a sofa and covers one adult curled up. Our Medium custom pet blanket is 60" x 50", the same as a standard throw.

What size blanket fits a queen bed?

A queen mattress is 60" x 80", so a Large custom pet blanket at 80" x 60" covers the top almost exactly. It will not hang over the sides like a comforter. For a king bed, lay the Large across the foot of the bed.

What size custom blanket should I get for two dogs?

Medium or Large works best for two dogs, and Large gives the most room for three pets. You can send photos taken separately. Our designers place the pets together in one design and add each name, and you see a free proof first.

Which blanket size is best as a gift?

Medium is the safest gift. It is the standard throw size, fits almost any sofa or bed, and is our best seller at $125. Choose Small for a lap, an armchair or a pet bed, and Large for a couple or several pets.

Can I hang a woven pet blanket on the wall?

Yes. Small and Medium sizes both work well as wall hangings. Use a tapestry rod or wooden clips along the top edge so the weave hangs flat. A Medium above a sofa or headboard makes a calm centerpiece for a room.
