We just upgraded from a queen bed set to a king bed set. With the queen set we've had various comforters and duvet covers through the years, and all draped far enough over the sides to cover the mattress so you couldn't see the sheets, just the bedskirt. Now with the king bedding the duvet cover isn't very wide and barely hangs over the sides of the mattress, so now the sheets show and when we're sleeping in the bed the duvet cover barely covers the side edges. I've checked measurements with other covers and they all appear similar.
So, what's the deal?

It's a conspiracy by the Duvet Manufacturers of America - we had the same problem and ended up buying another larger one -but it shrank to the same size as the other.
They want to make sure your life is heck trying to stuff the down quilt into a too small duvet and have it bunched up in the corners and it takes 2 people and a 1 hour to make the bed after washing the stupid thing. Eventually you stuff it in the linen closet and go back to quilts like we did.

There's Queen-size, King-size, and Hollywood-size (a.k.a. California King-size).

Ther are 2 king sizes. "King" and "California king". You need to make sure you buy the right "king" bedding.
