I ordered a King size which fits my queen pillowtop mattress perfectly...about 4-6 inches from the floor all the way around, although I will have to tailor the shams to fit queen size pillows, no big deal for me.  
This is a great choice for pet owners.  Feels soft but the finish is smooth allowing for easy fur removal using a fur removal brush or tape roll and is not so thick and bulky which allows for easy laundering in full size washer/dryer.   The cream colour is rich enough to use year round by changing out cotton sheets with my favorite flannel, layering with a wool blanket or two and adding a faux fur throw at the foot of the bed.   Good value for the price and cat approved too.
