Cotton King and California King Canopy Bed Curtain — Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the cotton king canopy bed curtain?

The cotton king canopy bed curtain measures 91 inches long, 79 inches wide with an 86 inch drop (230cm x 200cm x 220cm). One size fits both a standard US king mattress (76 x 80 inches) and a California king mattress (72 x 84 inches) with room for the bed frame, and the drapes hang to the floor on all sides. Measure your bed — and your frame if you have a four poster — before ordering, and remember bigger is better: excess fabric gathers softly into the corners for a fuller effect.

Does one canopy bed curtain fit both king and California king beds?

Yes. The California king is slightly longer and narrower than a standard king, and at 91 inches long by 79 inches wide the canopy's generous cut covers both — the drapes fall to the floor around either mattress with allowance for the frame. There is no need to choose between the two sizes.

How does the cotton king canopy bed curtain attach to a bed?

Three ways. Attach it to the top rails of an existing four poster bed using the 26 pairs of ceiling ties built into the canopy. Suspend it from the ceiling with four hooks positioned above the corners of the bed — no four poster frame needed. Or hang it from a wooden or bamboo frame for relaxed resort style, or a hidden curtain rod frame using the fabric sleeve on the canopy ceiling for a contemporary look.

What is included with the cotton king canopy bed curtain?

The canopy is one complete unit with a reinforced cotton netting ceiling — no gaping holes like some inferior canopies. It has four openings with a 28 inch (75cm) overlap so you can tie one, two, three or four doors open, 26 pairs of ceiling ties, internal and external corner ties, a fabric sleeve on the ceiling for a hidden curtain rod frame, and every edge fully hemmed with a 1 inch (25mm) band of cotton fabric.

How do you wash a cotton king canopy bed curtain?

Cold water machine wash on a delicate cycle, cold hand wash, or dry clean. Line dry — never tumble dry — and warm iron if desired. Cotton is a natural fibre and may shrink about 5% in height when washed cold (over 10% in hot water), and the netting can be gently pulled and stretched back into shape while still damp.

Can the cotton king canopy bed curtain fit a queen bed?

Yes. A king canopy always fits a smaller bed, with the excess fabric gathering into the corners — over a queen mattress (60 x 80 inches) it drapes generously and reads as a fuller, more luxurious canopy. If you prefer a closer fit, the cotton canopy bed curtain also comes in twin/single, full/double, queen and super king sizes. See the canopy bed curtain size chart for every size.
