The anchor was seen as a symbol of strength as anchors hold down ships even in the stormiest of weather. It was also a popular symbol because of its close resemblance to the cross. Anchors were also used to mark safe houses for those seeking refuge from persecution.
While sheet sizes vary by brand and style, a fitted sheet is similar to its respective mattress in measurements; for instance, 78 inches wide and 80 inches long for a king mattress, compared to 72 inches wide, 84 inches long for a California king. The fitted sheet has a little extra width in the king-sized set.
A king size mattress is 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. A California king mattress size is 72 inches wide by 84 inches long. Bedspreads are larger than their intended mattress size because they need extra room for tucking or dropping to the floor (drop length) and tucking the pillows (pillow tuck). With these additions, the standard bedspread size for a king size bed is 102 inches by 121 inches. With drop length and pillow tuck, the standard bedspread size for a California king size bedspread is 114 inches by 125 inches. Don't be afraid to ask for a customized bedspread. The drop length will vary depending on the height of your bed and the depth of the mattress and mattress cushions.
