    Chest measurement is a poor metric for a TQ. Chest size is measured around the entire circumference of the chest. You're not asking a TQ to cover your back..only your front and sides. You didn't specify if you've tried both sizes. I used to believe I needed a wide because the forum overwhelmingly recommended it when I was new. After using a standard I feel it's worth pointing out to newbies that you can be just as comfortable in a 50"

    Kroma, you are entitled to your opinion. I know what works best for me and that's all that matters. UGQ sizes TQ based on laying on your side, measuring from the floor, around your chest and shoulders, and back to the floor...plus 5 or so inches. Therefore, using this method, a 55" quilt works best for me. Please don't post your opinion as a fact when it's not.

    Not the case at all. We are on here to help each other have a great experience. Everyone including myself values folks' perspectives. It's the way one words such responses that can come off as offensive. Peace out to you too, and happy hanging Kroma!
