I will likely be adding more width and length as I have a really high bed, more than a 21 inch drop.
That link above also gives sizes for king, queen and full. I agree that a 21" drop isn't enough, especially on bigger beds. My queen mattress is 15" thick by itself, then you have to add the box spring and distance to the floor from the frame. A king may be even higher than that, depending on pillow-top, etc.
