Will an 8x10 rug fit under a queen bed?

Yes. Placed sideways under a queen bed, an 8x10 runs out on both sides of the bed. For a king bed a 9x12 gives a similar border, though an 8x10 can also work.

8x10 Rugs

Q: How big is an 8x10 rug?

An 8x10 rug is 8 feet wide and 10 feet long: 96 by 120 inches, or 80 square feet (about 244 by 305 cm). Some rugs sold as 8x10 are a few inches smaller, so check the listed dimensions.

Q: What size room is an 8x10 rug good for?

An 8x10 usually suits rooms about 10 by 12 feet and larger, leaving roughly 12 to 18 inches of floor between the rug and the walls. In a smaller room a 6x9 or 5x8 is often a better fit.

8×10 rugs for living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms

An 8×10 rug is 8 feet by 10 feet, or 96 by 120 inches, and it is the size most US living rooms start with. Laid in front of a standard sofa, an 8×10 lets the front legs of the sofa and one or two chairs rest on the rug with the coffee table in the middle. The same size fits sideways under a queen bed and under many four- to six-seat dining tables.

Every rug in this collection is listed as an 8×10. You will find washable polyester rugs, indoor-outdoor rugs, power-loomed designs, hand-tufted and hand-knotted wool, and natural jute rugs. Some pieces sold as 8×10 measure a few inches smaller or larger, for example 7 feet 9 inches by 9 feet 9 inches, so compare the listed dimensions on each product page before you tape out the floor.

Not sure 8×10 is right? Our rug size guide compares 5×8, 6×9, 8×10, 9×12 and 10×14, and what size rug for a living room walks through front-legs-on and all-legs-on layouts. If you have a sectional or a room larger than about 11 by 14 feet, look at 9×12 and 10×14 pieces in living room rugs. For a bedroom, see the bedroom rug guide.

Room about 10 by 12 feet or larger: an 8×10 usually leaves a comfortable border of floor.
