Decorative comforters and down comforters/duvets and duvet covers are produced in Twin, Full, Full/Queen and King Sizes. California king size comforters and twin extra long covers are not specifically manufactured, so just use a Twin or King size as needed. Regarding full and queen sizes: some comforters are produced to fit just a Full-size mattress, others as a Full/Queen that will fit either size bed.
