What Furniture Blanket Size Do I Need uses approximate wrap length around item, approximate wrap width, blanket overlap and the other configured measurements to return furniture blanket count and minimum coverage with a formula written specifically for this tool.
- Approximate wrap length around item — Required
- Approximate wrap width — Required
- Blanket overlap — Required
- Blanket length — Required
- Blanket width — Required
Furniture blanket count and minimum coverage
Enter the measurements above to calculate furniture blanket count and minimum coverage.
How the calculation works
V9 calculation: requiredBlanketLength=itemSurfaceLength+2×overlap; requiredBlanketWidth=itemSurfaceWidth+2×overlap; blanketsAlongLength=ceil(requiredBlanketLength/blanketLength); blanketsAlongWidth=ceil(requiredBlanketWidth/blanketWidth); blanketCount=blanketsAlongLength×blanketsAlongWidth. The result is reported as furniture blanket count and minimum coverage.
Worked example
Example: Approximate wrap length around item = 100 cm; Approximate wrap width = 60 cm; Blanket overlap = 50 cm; Blanket length = 180 cm; Blanket width = 120 cm. Result: Required Blanket Width = 160 cm; Blanket Count = 4; Blankets Along Width = 200 cm; Blankets Along Length = 200 cm.
