We got a king size for our queen bed so there would be more over-hang. Pros: soft, didn't need to iron even after it sat in the dryer for awhile, I love the small zipper access to the corner ties. I was expecting that, and made it so much easier to place the comforter inside. Cons: really none, however I will caution that with the king size on a queen bed, the colored border places akwardly. It hangs over the sides a little. Just FYI if you are thinking of going a size bigger.
