Vintage chenille bedspreads were typically made for twin or full size beds only; exact dimensions vary by maker. Twin spreads generally measure about 68"-72" W x 90"-96" L, and full spreads about 86"-94" W x 96"-102" L. Vintage spreads were made for thinner mattresses and may not hang as far down on a modern, thicker one.
